	Collective Consciousness
		Collective consciousness and egoless consciousness are seen as viable alternatives or complements.
		The collective part of their consciousness will be associated with the brains of all the persons involved and not only with one brain (brains are here seen as heuristic structures in the scientific catalog mentioned in the introduction).
		Egoless conscious experience is an alternative to both individual and collective experience; it is often connected with experience of timelessness, and is then unrestricted by time.

	Declaration of Intent
		We are calling into awareness this field of collective consciousness and invite you to join us in building this discipline of collective wisdom, its study and practice.
		Collective wisdom is forged in the crucible of life and grounded in daily life situations.
		By coming together in groups to consciously generate collective wisdom, we believe we have the potential to heal conflicts that seem impossible to heal; embrace with compassion polarities and paradoxes that tear the fabric of our psyches and communities; and cultivate our capacities to love and forgive in groups splintered and polarized.

	Collective consciousness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term 'Collective Consciousness' is also referred to in Sahaja Yoga as an outcome of meditation and self-realization.
		Collective consciousness arises on the basis of specific social structures analogous, in same sense, to the mentioned psychological notions.
		Collective consciousness is an entity, which needs the existence of people, organized in societal structures.

		The effects of collective consciousness are the easiest to show, because the coherent collective field's ability to exert material impulses is in quadratic proportion to the number of interacting consciousnesses.
		Therefore, the bioenergetic effects of consciousness seem to be related to these fields, while the quantum-vacuum effects through the zero-point oscillations may be related to the psi-effect which is extremely subtle, as it does not seem to depend on distance.
		One suggestion is to organise collective feasts with people who learned the optimal method to develop creative mental states when celebrating together with music, singing and dancing they could concentrate on strengthening their collective consciousness fields.

	Collective Responsibility (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Defenders of collective responsibility set out to show that the majority of critical arguments made about collective responsibility are unfounded and that collective responsibility, along with its assumptions of group intentions, collective actions, and group blameworthiness, is both coherent as an intellectual construct and fair to ascribe in at least some, if not all, cases.
		Other defenders of collective responsibility, e.g., Peter French, refrain from going this far on the grounds that the groups in question are not organized enough to be capable of sustaining a sense of moral agency that is genuinely collective (French 1984).
		Indeed, after analyzing collective responsibility as part of group morality, they frequently place individual moral agents back at the center of their attention in an effort to discern what collective responsibility means on the level of individual moral actors.

	What Can Science Tell Us About Collective Consciousness - (c) 2004 Robert Kenny
		Understanding some aspects of collective consciousness, however, may require the practice of contemplation and meditation, and access to knowledge via gnosis, i.e., direct knowing or realization, which is transrational, translogical and transmental.
		Nonetheless, to the degree that the study of collective consciousness requires examination of the higher developmental stages of human consciousness, and the direct experience of Spirit, or infinite, nondual Emptiness, that experience can only be expressed by poetry and metaphor, not by finite and dualistic categorizations and descriptions.
		The phrase, “group mind”, that is sometimes used to refer to collective consciousness, gives the impression that a new mind and, therefore, consciousness emerges as a collective entity, a position that is speculative at present.

	Collective intelligence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Collective intelligence, as characterized by Peter Russell (1983), Tom Atlee (1993), Howard Bloom (1995), Francis Heylighen (1995), Douglas Engelbart, Cliff Joslyn, Ron Dembo, Gottfried Mayer-Kress (2003) and other theorists, is an intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals, an intelligence that seemingly has a mind of its own.
		The study of collective intelligence may properly be considered a subfield of sociology, of computer science, and of mass behavior--a field that studies collective behavior from the level of quarks to the level of bacterial, plant, animal, and human societies.
		Collective intelligence is an amplification of the precepts of the Founding Fathers, as represented by Thomas Jefferson in his statement, "A Nation's best defense is an educated citizenry." During the industrial era, schools and corporations took a turn toward separating elites from the people they expected to follow them.

	Physics of Collective Consciousness and the Quantum-Vacuum Interactions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		If consciousness is organised with the help of the EM field, this EM field may be able to transcend the borders of the organism emitting the waves (see the evidences later on), and interact with the consciousness field of another person nearby.
		Collective consciousness fields are suggested to act in the ancient Japanese no-theatre and in the truly cathartic theatre performances (Vekerdy, 1974).
		Human consciousness fields primarily interact at the a-level in frequencies around 7.5 Hz, therefore the creative state of mind is the same one as the most influential source of the collective consciousness field.

	Blog of Collective Intelligence: Collective consciousness: a “peer to peer” phenomenon? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		I’m wondering whether that higher intelligence, our collective consciousness, is not a “peer to peer” phenomenon, in which each of us is not only a filter or switch for one another as Nova Spivack wrote in his The Metaweb: The Global Mind Just Got Smarter but also processors for the collective consciousness of Emergence itself.
		As Wilber points to, during a causal state of consciousness (sleeping, drugs, meditative and altered states) we connect to a higher stage, which could be the witness, the whole, depending on where you are individually.
		Collective Consciousness as P2P phenomenon should simultaneously integrate the AQAL Standards and enrich on the "WE" Basis meditational and other contemplative approaches of the upper left quadrants.

	Collective Consciousness
		The collective consciousness has been described as the historical experience collectively instilled and manifested in the minds of certain individuals, latently, perhaps in us all.
		Any formation of popular collective will in the church is impossible unless a great number of like minded people emerge simultaneously into revival, confirmed in action and fervent in collective prayer.
		The collective consciousness has for the greater part been latent in the structure of the brain and through an unenlightened church, the study of psychic energy has been dismissed as part of the occult.

		This phenomenon of removing collective stress and increasing positive trends in society through these techniques of consciousness is known as the "Maharishi Effect" and might be used by the military to avert the rise of enemies and prevent hostilities.
		Regular daily experience of this field of pure consciousness during meditation is held to be responsible for the reductions of individual and collective stress observed in numerous studies.
		The collective consciousness of society was proposed to be the sum of the influences created by its individual members.

		Most pieces in her collection are atomizers, but she occasionally buys manufactured bottles when they're striking; like the perfumes of Jean Paul Gautier, who designs all his bottles in the shape of a voluptuous female torso.
		His collection of recordings now numbers — if a glance around his West Bloomfield den is any indication — well above 10,000 recordings, including a significant number of historical recordings dating to the very first recorded music in the late 1800s that marry his profession (history professor) with his passion.
		His collection is best characterized as a moral barometer of the early to mid-20th century.

		This collective consciousness is experienced by the Borg as "thousands" of voices — they are collectively aware, but not aware of themselves as separate individuals.
		Among the many advantages their collective consciousness affords them, the Borg hive-mind allows for instantaneous adaptations to shield and phaser frequency modulations in combat; they are also able to regenerate and repair their massive cube ship with the power of their collective thoughts alone.

	Words/Phrases DEFINED: "Collective Consciousness of humanity, Collective, Consciousness, humanity". Father Jerome's ...
		The keyword/phrase "Collective Consciousness of humanity, Collective, Consciousness, humanity" relates to, and is part of, the classification(s) listed below, as used in the text or auxiliary documents of the QUFD website and in Father Jerome's scientific writings.
		The term refers to that dimensionality of consciousness which is the ground-state of the totality of the human experience and which is the repository (in the Hall of Records, in the OA/OWB's sub-dimension of this ground-state) of all the knowledge, wisdom, history, experience and prescience of the human race.
		Although Carl Jung made the Collective famous, it has been known to mankind for millennia and, of course, the Hall of Records has been the object of numerous "searches" and quests, both corporeal and incorporeal, for just as long.

	Does quantum mechanics in any way proove the theory of the collective consciousness?
		Further, the notion of "collective consciousness" is itself speculation without any scientific basis that I am aware of.
		The implications of quantum theory, while they do not prove a collective consciousness yet - as Dr. Chinese pointed it, that is mostly due to the fact that we do not have a consensus of a supporting model for consciousness - and who's fault is that?
		I strongly suspect that Jung was right about a collective unconscious, The reason he was right is that we are all wired the same -- or close enough.

	Robert Kenny: The Science Of Collective Consciousness
		The answer, increasingly, appears to be “yes.” In fact, a growing body of recent research suggests not only that a field of awareness and intelligence exists between human beings but also that through it we influence each other in powerful ways.
		A fundamental psi phenomenon is extrasensory perception or influence, perhaps made possible by the apparent ability of consciousness to operate beyond the constraints of space and time.
		Subsequently, a new group, who had not seen the puzzle at all, finished it significantly faster than the original group, suggesting that as a result of so many individuals having done the puzzle, knowledge of the puzzle was somehow etched into the field of collective consciousness, making it increasingly easier for others to solve.
