I'm going to briefly tell you about an entity called 'The Collective'.
The collective is not made up of people. It is made up of unconscious forces which real people create. Illusions. This does not mean they are not very real.
Some call them archons or shadows. They command great power because real people have given it to them.
What real people do not realise because it is unconscious activity is that they have created these illusions. The illusions then go on to have power over their creators and exploit them to the max.
Think about the tribe - of which there are several competing ones with only a single dominant one, as having a life of its own.
The tribe, is alive and it acts autonomously as if it is alive.
It acts much like an autonomous individual - 'it thinks in myth and symbol', in narrative. But it's not conscious that the literal actions it takes result from this 'narrative of thought'.
This theory is also known as 'the collective' another primary theory I'm investigating.
I'm not saying the collective is a good or a bad thing.
I am saying it is extant and no one is aware of it...unless one can break the spell.
