Influencing the Collective Mind: Techniques for Influencing the Overmind Entity of Humanity

Introduction

The problem related to understanding the collective unconscious is that it is not itself conscious and that—in the Gnostic sense—it is multi-dimensional. Scientific-philosophical discussion of such issues related to Pleroma or the totality of divine powers are endless, but it is rare to contemplate the collective unconscious/conscious as a human collective overmind in and of itself, and a sentient macro entity in its own right and existential as a combined collective mind and physical humanity. It is even more rare to suggest that such an entity—what the author calls ‘IT’—has not evolved properly (mainly due to lack of natural external competition), and as such is in need of re-programming and evolving beyond legacy traits, habits, and process.

This chapter is not an orthodox academic/scientific treatment of ontological dimensions of the paranormal. Instead, meaningful insights addressed in the chapter are based on the unique personal extreme experiences of the author, combined with extensive scientific and esoteric study.

In order to represent the authority and authenticity of the author’s uniquely valuable paranormal and surreal physical experiences and evidence, it is critical to provide some biographical insight. Thirty years ago, the author left academia with degrees in Cybernetics and Computer Science and post graduate qualifications that led to significant experience with several Information Communication Technology companies. Having become an expert on operating systems and secure systems development, he moved on to manage many large international systems technology projects, provided consultancy for many large international change programmes, and owned several successful ICT companies.

In retrospect, since the age of five his life has also followed an imposed experimental structure provided by Joseph Campbell’s Hero Journey (1950) which is based on Carl Jung’s psychological dynamic of individuation and transcendence. These stages of the journey are symbolically represented in the Jungian dreamscape which is understood to incorporate both the individual (personal) and collective unconscious encompassing entity.

In esoteric terms employed by the world’s Mystery Schools, many humans incarnate within the fractal structure of the hero journey. Therefore, the author’s unusual experiences may be contemplated within this established context that has both an esoteric spiritual basis and a physical basis. At an early age, the author experienced being directed by some sort of collective unconscious childlike mentality that was somehow outside of his own authority. At the age of eight he had outgrown any spiritual beliefs, and was a skeptical atheist. Despite this, in March 2005 he had a twenty-minute-long extreme cosmic paranormal experience characterized by overwhelming gnosis that is narrated in the first chapter of his fictional autobiography—IT: Pieces in the Dark (Sambrook, 2014).

Since that initiation into a Gnostic state-of-being, that state has persisted. In other words, the author has been conscripted into an ongoing evolving experience of gnosis and esoteric interaction. It is most important to recognize that this Gnostic experience constitutes a unique perspective on unified field ontology. Specifically, the experience has been conducive to insights relative to the importance of synchronicities for dealing with a Gnostic reality of spontaneity in which the global media-field becomes a collective—often mediated—Jungian dreamscape and knowledgebase.

The author has the distinction of having worked with leading scientists, and scientific consortia. He has also worked and experimented with some of the most experienced international healers—leading-edge spiritual minded people—spiritualists, channelers, and experts on paranormal esotericism in-order to gain insights and understanding, not just to provide a scientific or academically compartmentalized perspective.
