What is collective consciousness<\/a>? How deeply do your actions affect others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gary Zukav argues that your choices shape the realities of those you identify with, whether that\u2019s others who share your gender, others who share your nationality, or other humans in general. He asserts that your behaviors carry vibrations that are felt by you and flow out to those around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how Zukav discusses collective consciousness in his book The Seat of the Soul<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Collective Consciousness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is collective consciousness? Your actions are tied, not just to your soul\u2019s karma<\/a>, Zukav says, but to that of other souls as well, through \u201ccollective consciousnesses.\u201d He explains that your individual reality is one point of consciousness, but you also constantly contribute to energetic exchange with the people around you<\/strong>\u2014your families and friends, peers, random people you interact with, as well as those whom you share identity categories with, your whole society, and ultimately all of humanity. Everyone\u2019s choices have effects on how these \u201ccollective consciousnesses\u201d develop, Zukav says, and therefore on many layers of reality. For example, if you\u2019re an American Buddhist woman, you\u2019re part of the collective consciousness that is \u201cwomen\u201d and that of \u201cAmericans\u201d and that of \u201cBuddhists\u201d and so on. And you\u2019re helping to shape the collective realities of those groups\u2014up to and including the collective consciousness of humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identity and Connection<\/strong>

It\u2019s unclear why specific kinds of identity groups would necessarily have any spiritual link to one another. For example, while it\u2019s understandable that people who belong to the same religion<\/em> would have a spiritual bond, one\u2019s nationality is an accident of birth, can change over one\u2019s lifetime, and in most cases is not spiritually meaningful. Additionally, the category of race<\/em> is inherently problematic, as we can\u2019t scientifically distinguish racial groups, and very few humans now belong to a single \u201cracial\u201d group. Sex and gender<\/a> categories have similar problems as well. 

Zukav\u2019s theory about the collective consciousness groups that we all belong to is reminiscent of the concept of the karass,<\/em> invented by Kurt Vonnegut in his 1963 novel Cat\u2019s Cradle<\/em><\/a>. In this exploration of the fictional religion of Bokononism<\/em>, Vonnegut describes a karass <\/em>as a group of people who are spiritually linked with one another, to fulfill some cosmic purpose, usually unknown to them. However, Vonnegut distinguishes a karass<\/em> from a granfalloon<\/em><\/a>, which he defines as a group of people who share some observable commonality, such as members of one\u2019s country or one\u2019s gender. These categories have no spiritual significance, while a karass is spiritually and energetically linked. You can only recognize a member of your karass by a sort of gut feeling you get about a person, but your energies will be intertwined throughout your lifetimes. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As spiritual beings living in the material world, Zukav says, our true essence is light energy, which flows through us from the universe. So, all of our interactions and behaviors on the material plane have an energetic component as light vibration<\/strong>, he explains: Negativity creates lower vibration energy, and positivity creates higher vibrations. These vibrations are felt by us as our emotions. Higher-vibration emotions, for example, are love and compassion<\/a>, whereas anger and resentment are lower-vibration emotions. Zukav says this is why you feel lighter and higher when you\u2019re happy, and heavy and dull when you\u2019re unhappy. He also says that lower-vibration people can drain others of energy, and higher-vibration people can raise others up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of these emotional frequencies, Zukav explains, you also will attract others of similar vibration to you, so if you consciously raise your energy, you\u2019ll attract higher-energy people and you can co-create a more enlightened reality together. He says that this energy can be directed by your thoughts, so positive thoughts<\/a> will create more positive emotions and therefore higher vibration, and vice versa with negative thoughts. So, by consciously choosing your thoughts, Zukav says, you can consciously raise your vibration<\/a><\/strong>, and therefore become brighter light energy\u2014this is why we say such high-vibration people are \u201cenlight<\/em>ened.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Law of Attraction<\/a><\/strong>

The idea that energy attracts like energy is called the law of attraction, <\/em>which dates back to the New Thought Movement<\/a> of the early 19th century. This concept is central to the book The Secret<\/em><\/a>, by Rhonda Byrne, which says that your thoughts generate a magnetic energy that will pull that same frequency of energy toward you. Similar to the concept of karma, the law of attraction<\/a> can affect you negatively or positively, and it happens whether you are conscious of it or not. Byrne argues that you can use this to re-create your life, by consciously directing your thoughts to generate the energy you want to attract<\/a>. According to Zukav you should try to attract other positive light-energy people to your life, and The Secret<\/em> tells us that to do that, we should begin with visualization<\/em>. If you want to attract a certain kind of partner or friends to your life, envision them<\/a>. Think about every detail of the kinds of qualities they would have, and then believe that they exist and they\u2019ll come to you. Then make space for that person or people in your life, and be open to finding them. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
