Smoke and Mirrors

I was sitting in a café with a friend the other day and we got around to talking about the collective unconscious. We didn’t dwell on it for long. Our general sense was that the collective is a prevailing miasma that’s not easy to cope with. It’s a bit like an energetic smog that chokes the human spirit. The more densely populated the area the more intense it feels – the thicker the smog. If you’re at all sensitive to energy you’ll know what I’m talking about.

It took me a bit longer to recognise that the energy field of my environment is a synthesis of everything in it, including me. Everything is continually merging and interacting. And if you bother to stop and tune in, you can feel it. The more I considered this the more it simply blew my mind. It’s pretty fantastic. It means that you’re being influenced by everything around you, and everything around you is influencing you right back – including people.
