I have not been writing anything for quite some time and a lot has happened in this country. As I write, the House of Representatives is impeaching Trump for inciting violence in disrupting the verification of an American election. I have been pretty speechless as I watch events unfold. Trump clearly and in front of the world is inciting people to help him overthrow the election results and make him ruler of the world, or whatever delusion the man is under. But as I witnessed what has been happening, and there has been a heck of a lot of stuff hitting the fan, I have been monitoring what is happening with our national consciousness. In my book on the Probe Method: A Transformation of Human Consciousness, I outlined the evolution of our human consciousness. Basically, we all have our own consciousness and we also have and share group consciousnesses as we grow and develop throughout our existence in the universe. We have all heard about mob violence and that is what we saw on January 6 at the Capital Building. Once a mob takes over, the group creates a group mind or consciousness, and the mob mind is representative of the members of the group. This kind of mind is unfolding in front of the world and it was a very egoistic and controlling mind. It was a mind full of hate for others. There were symbols of the Confederate flag and Nazism at the Capital. This is a mind of the ego, which is an ego mind we have been trying to transform into a more other-centered mind. Our national consciousness is now being shaped and we should pay attention to this issue. It is as important as all the other issues we face and maybe it is the most important because it is the very evolution and future of our personal and shared consciousness experience.
Are we going to regress in our human consciousness evolution or move forward? Our human purpose is centered around this evolution. As individuals, we are consciousnesses evolving from ego-centered to other-centered through freedom, love, and joy as our basics of life. Individuals meet and interact with others and we all begin to develop group minds, first with our families and then with our peers. This group mind could be a high school club, fraternity, sports team, religion, cause, race, political view, geographic region, etc., etc. There are millions of ways in which we group ourselves and we tend to follow the group mind when our personal mind might not do so without this influence. We need to be aware of the power the group mind has on our own mind so we can remain independent, but we all are still going to be influenced by group minds. A great example of the group mind, is the Republican mind. The Republican mind has been taken over by the Trump mind. Anyone mixed in with the Trump mind will do things that they would not do alone. It is unquestionably clear that Trump has abused his powers as President and that he incited the minds of the people who attempted a coup on our nation. How could anyone not admit this? But we continue to see Trump minds making excuses and lying about it all even when they know they are wrong.
All of these group minds within one country, such as the US, will form a national mind of some kind. The national mind is not clearly formed in the US because there are so many individual and group minds in the US that are still very ego-centered and they are not only self-centered, they are controlling and power hungry minds. They want to control other minds and make others think and do as they say. This is a mind that wants power. You get power when you control the minds of others.
So we are at a crossroads in our evolutionary process in which we can go backwards or forwards. I hope we can take this moment in history seriously in terms of our human awareness and consciousness.
