I have written about this before, what Carl Jung called "the collective unconscious". I have indicated that, in my opinion, the group mind is being manipulated and that by extension, this is the cause for the apparent apathy of the American People vis-a-vie the current political cesspool. Don't worry, we have the best minds (available) on the problem. Go back to sleep.
If you are still awake, realize that you are one of those (best minds) who we rely on to scrutinize this difficulty. With furrowed brow and smoking ears think about what can be done to deflate the atmosphere of fear that was brought on us. When you have done some thinking, throw a tea party for the neighbors.

About Me
- roberto kiam borderlineartist@gmail.com
- I live in a quaint, little town, plagued with the specter of speculation and commerce. I am trailer trash,with wishes for good dishes. I shoulda died long ago, but like a rescue dog, didn't. I am indescribably scattered. I speak three languages. I walk a tenuously, true path. I am lucky. For myself, for others. God, it is said, protects orphans, widows and the innocent.

"group" minds are easily manipulated. and most minds are most comfy when expressing "the group".
to hold the tension of one's individual consciousness, especially when it goes so against the grain, is no easy feat since to go against the grain is a threat to the group mind. no one wants their mind threatened and especially when they can prop themselves up with the like minded.
i like tea parties. i just bought some tea yesterday and my friend, the tea master, explained to me that herbal teas are not even teas, they are simply brewed herbs.
we call them herbal teas, being sloppy americans. they are herbal infusions. teas and the property of tea leave are altogether different.
quite honestly robert, the only cup of coffee i ever tasted that was without bitterness, was that first cup of americano that you distilled for me my first visit to the cafe. i was stunned. i have since given up trying to duplicate it and have returned to tea drinking. not sure how you did that, but i'm sure there was some charisma at work.

This topic -and Jung- was one of my favorites in philosophy class in 12th grade. Group minds are, I believe, a different thing from the collective inconscious Jung refers to, in which there is no manipulation. It refers to the part of the human unconscious common to all humans, a sort of shared instinct or shared collective memory, inprinted in our genetic? memory. Hence the notion of archetypes,symbols shared by all humans, independently from their education or environnement. At the the time I got acquainted to these notions, I was then 17, I found that extremely interesting, as it also tends to underline what we humans all have in common, instead of our differences, apart from the undeniable interest on the philosophical point of view. I also found later on in my studies, at a period when I was deeply interested in ancient civilizations, how true this notion seemed to be. Think for a while of features common to apparently distant civilizations such as the Egyptians and the Incas. Had I not been a linguist and artist, I would have been an archeologist:)
"Give them bread and circuses" eschewed Machiavelli...or was that Karl Rove (you know his favorite book is the 'Prince").
Can you tell me where to get a 'kill your television' bumpersticker?
to deflate the atmosphere of fear is very difficult. only because we have to begin within and because 99.9 percent of the world population, wants to work on others and focus on "the other" and project onto "the other". it is so much more difficult to take one's self to task.
i am happy to hear that the law of attraction is being mass marketed via oprah. beats those heavily mascara false eyelashes and stilletos that seem to have imprisoned her intellect.
so drop negatives. since the unconscious in its primitive state does not and cannot translate negatives. if you say: "no more of that children" in an attempt to pacify and guide the child, the child in its more primitive orbit, will hear only: "more of that children".
how many times a day do you use a negative when you intend a positive. in your verbal cues, both aloud and silently. in your consious mind you want to have the cafe open. but your thoughts drift: i don't want to lose the cafe.
linguistically this is very very important and to get back on track, you must self correct.
i want the cafe to remain open and available.
the ten commandements are largley violated because they are thou shalt not. and in our primitive minds we hear: thou shalt kill; thou shalt covet; thou shalt steal.
do not fear translates as: "do fear."
what I have tried to do to interrupt this pattern until I can more fully change the habit, is to pause before I trip into my next sentence, my next thought.
the mind is filled with landmines.
tripwires.
the teeth and the tongue we were given to assist us as a gate.
however with most of us, the gate is rusty at best.
to dispel fear, address these habits within. one monkey changes her/his habit and it unconsciously travels across oceans. no thing needs to be said. thoughts are far more powerful and words for most are mostly jibberish. fun however. think of words as song. wordsong, birdsong.
invite in courage. welcome the divine grace as your companion and you will do more to dispel fear than any political commentator or rhetoric minded politician. this is leadership. non violence is not an appropriate message. one must say: peace. otherwise one is taking one step forward and one step back. confusing not only others, but oneself. because one knows with one's highest self that they want peace, but the message that their unconsious had received is "violence", non being a negative.
that is how the collective unconscioius remains rather primitive. that is why we live in a dual mental scape and planet.
we confuse ourselves, even as we tell our waking mind one thing, our resting/sleeping mind is receiving the opposite message.
"do not worry about others" translates as: do worry about others. and worrying about others is a waste of time. tend to your own garden; your own canvass. think of your thoughts as brushstrokes. your words as dollops of paint. who would shit on a canvas? everytime we think shit or say shit, every time we damn god in thought or word, we manifest a fear based reality.
invite in a god; an angel; divine grace to be your guide until you are so well instructed that you merge. demonic, negative thoughts lead to demonic, negative manifestations. look at all the great geniuses. most of their personal lives were in shambles. duality. compartmentalized.
we are all genius/genus.
non segregated neighborhood equals a segregated neighhborhood. this is the vibration that picks up the resonant frequency. so one must say integrated neighborhood if that is what one intends.
this is a bit daunting; however remember that negatives send out a weaker vibration than positives. that is why one can accomplish so much more when in a positive mental state. however, there is the turning point wherein enough negative thinking or being will send out a vibration whose frequency strengthens over time and with repeititon. the rut.
excuse me, i need to get back to rutting season.
