Collective Unconscious and Evolution of Human Consciousness

But this subconscious has many possibilities that we do not have, particularly this subconscious is in contact with the entire non-psychic universe. It is the true telepath, which can relate to this entire underground psychic world that we do not see. And first of all, it is another much greater one, which is the collective or Adamic unconscious. It is called Adamic because it is the unconscious of Man, not of a man but of humanity, which Moses identified with Adam. In this subconscious are all those forces, those symbols that are not simply ours, but that are familiar, but also of our people, for example, the Eskimos. Each people has its spirit, its forces that act in the subconscious of our Portuguese people, Italian people, all these forces exist in this collective unconscious and more than this, for example: the survival instinct. Something similar, we can consider when, for example, a duck is born and begins to swim, no one trained it. Who taught the duck to swim or a turtle? A turtle when born must flee from various predators that try to eat it, and it leaves the island where it was born and for thirty years continues around the world in various oceans until after thirty years it returns to reproduce on the same island, and it doesn't have Google maps, nor GPS, no one knows how, all biologists can say: ok, this happens, but they don't know why, who explained how to return. Why? Because there is a consciousness that is a consciousness of the species. For example, the experiments with rats in the USA are very famous, and at the same time they were trained in the USA, rats in Australia learned the same thing. It is clear that with animals it is easier to see, because the smaller the consciousness, the personality, the individuality is structured, the easier, and more powerful is the collective soul. The more we are individualized, the smaller is this collective soul, this unconscious that acts upon us. Participant: Can we say that during our evolution, of our species, this type of episodes that were happening also when for example the Egyptians discovered something and some people developed in another point of the planet. Of course. The zero is very famous. The number zero was born contemporaneously in various places and at the same time, with an error of a few years. Certainly at that time there were not many communications between these places. In fact, these were precisely these cases, for example, what Jung noticed were people who had never seen the sea and dreamed about the sea, or had knowledge, things that could not happen in this sense. But it is also true that in our evolution we have the idea that the human species always had the same state of consciousness and this is not totally true. In the sense that, for example, there is an indigenous population in Alaska where they possess very, very strong traditional roots of the people, and in fact it is very interesting that that researcher we have seen other times, about past lives Ian Stevenson, he went to this place and found many witnesses of boys from this people in this population who remembered uncles and various incarnations, why? Because they were souls so specialized that, in one way or another, as if it were the same soul and in antiquity there was a very strong cult of ancestors because it is a memory of an antiquity in which parents incarnated in children, they were the same family line, more than an individual consciousness. The idea that the son would not do what the father did, the idea that it would not be the same mental, emotional reproduction of the father, was something inconceivable. Before this there was more of a people's consciousness than an individual one. The idea of an individual consciousness, of originality of individualization, all this, is very much from now. After humanism, 14th century, 15th century. Therefore, we have conscious, the field of our consciousness; that which is the super-conscious, that is, a deeper aspect of our being that acts as a force of will. Will of eternity, will, love, remembrance of God. The more this self is awakened, the more will to reach spiritual states and return to the celestial homeland. And then we have the world of subconsciousness, the personal subconscious and the collective subconscious. Now we are going to see how we can act on these. So, first of all, the symbols. That is, the language, to act, let's say, how to act in the subconscious.
