Well...interestng, Deepak, and intriguing up the point of the notion of 'collective consciousness.' That is the Great Leap. The individual's sense of being or consciousness, is fairly easy to grasp and understand. The notion of the larger 'collective' or, as Jung posited, 'universal' unconsciousness raise serious epistemological questions

The tendency in these large scale 'paradigms' is to take us away from our natural setting. The 'I' becomes bereft of essential meaning, yet it is the 'I' that experiences beauty and love. There is room--indeed a need--for the universal or, better, for community, but not at the expense of the individual soul.

This is great. Deepak kinda looks like he had a hard night drinking. Sage as ever, but not quite the radiant yogi voice that comes through on his audiobooks, or the California incarnation beaming from the glossy booksleeves of his latest bestsellers.
