「群體意識」是個尚未廣泛被人們了解的東西。然而它卻是個力量極為強大,只要人們一不小心,總會戰勝「個人意識」的東西…。在全球已明顯進入日益加速演化之巨大衝擊下的今日,要讓自己加速意識擴展,並幫助社會加速集體意識的提升,盡早去了解「如何致力於群體意識的創造」是每個現代人必修的學分。
聽神談【了解+正視人類的「群體意識」】:1/2
尼爾:你說你們的「群體意識」是什麼意義?
群體意識(group consciousness)是個尚未廣泛被了解的東西——然而它卻是種「力量極為強大,只要你們一不小心,總會戰勝個人意識(individual consciousness)」的東西。因此,無論你們走到哪裡、無論你們做什麼,如果你們希望在地球上大部分的生活經驗是和諧的,你們就必須永遠都要致力於「群體意識的創造」。
如果你正處在一個群體中,但此群體的意識和你的意識不相輝映,而你又無法有效地改變這群體的意識,則離開此群體是明智之舉,否則此群體意識會帶走你。它會走向它要走向的地方,不管你要去的地方。
如果你找不到一個群體其意識跟你的意識相配,則去成為一個群體意識的起源(If you cannot find a group whose consciousness matches your own, be the source of one)。有相似意識的其他人將會被你吸引來。
為了你們的星球有長遠而重大的改變,個人和小群體必須去影響大群體——而最終影響到最大的群體,影響到全人類。
你們的世界以及其處境,是「所有生活在那裡的人結合而成的意識」的反映。
正如在你周遭你所看到的,有許多改革仍待進行——當然,除非你對現在的世界是滿意的(你才不會想進行改變)。
令人驚訝的是,大部分人是滿意的。這乃是為什麼世界不會改變的原因。
大部分人滿意於一個「尊崇異議而非相同性,以及,意見不合是以衝突和戰爭來解決」的世界。
大部分人滿意於一個「適者生存、強權即真理、競爭是必須的,而勝利是至高的益處」的世界。
如果這樣的一種體制也產生了一堆「失敗者」——那就讓它產生吧——只要你自己不在其中就好。
大部分人滿意於這樣的模式,即使它產生一種「被人認為『錯』的人常遭屠殺、『失敗者』淪為饑餓和無家可歸、不『強』的人遭受壓迫和剝削」的運作體制。
大部分人認定跟他們自己不同的就是「錯」的。宗教上的差異,更是不被容忍;許多社會、經濟或文化方面的差異,也是如此。

Neale: What do You mean by the term “your group”?
Group consciousness is something that is not widely understood—yet it is extremely powerful and can, if you are not careful, often overcome individual consciousness. You must always, therefore, endeavor to create group consciousness wherever you go, and with whatever you do, if you wish your larger life experience on the planet to be harmonious.
If you are in a group whose consciousness does not reflect your own, and you are unable at this time to effectively alter the group consciousness, it is wise to leave the group, or the group could lead you. It will go where it wants to go, regardless of where you want to go.
If you cannot find a group whose consciousness matches your own, be the source of one. Others of like consciousness will be drawn to you.
Individuals and smaller groups must affect larger groups— and, ultimately, the largest group of all, which is ALL humankind—for there to be permanent and significant change on your planet.
Your world, and the condition it is in, is a reflection of the total, combined consciousness of everyone living there. As you can see by looking around you, much work is left to be done. Unless of course, you are satisfied with your world as it is.
Surprisingly, most people are. That is why the world does not change.
Most people are satisfied with a world in which differences, not similarities, are honored, and disagreements are settled by conflict and war.
Most people are satisfied with a world in which survival is for the fittest, “might is right,” competition is required, and winning is called the highest good.
If such a system happens also to produce “losers”—so be it—so long as you are not among them.
Most people are satisfied, even though such a model produces people who are often killed when they are judged “wrong,” starved and rendered homeless when they are “losers,” oppressed and exploited when they are not “strong.”
Most people define “wrong” as that which is different from them. Religious differences, in particular, are not tolerated, nor are many social, economic, or cultural differences.
