Creativity and the Collective Unconscious
Opening up your creative juices can mean a lot of positive things for you. Creativity is the seed of all dreams and future happenings to your life. I learned a lot on a subliminal, unconscious level when I began meditating on a regular basis. Meditation is a great way to consciously channel your creativity. I mediate when I need to know what to do next for my website. This helps me organize my thoughts in a calm way, that is focused and logical.
I like to chat with other people on WA to get the collective unconscious juices going. When you think about the collective unconscious, you are absorbing ideas from everyone around the world. The wikipedia defines collective unconscious as, "the set of shared beliefs, ideas and moral attitudes which operate as a unifying force within society." I can tap anyone's mind from around the world to get ideas and other things for my site. I'm not sure if a lot of people have heard of this, but everyone is telepathically connected, and only a fraction of us really understand the dynamics of this and how it affects everyone.

Hi Kendall I totally agree with you meditation and Yoga are a great way to tap into that unseen conciousness that is all around. I have got amazing insights on the directions to go in my life and they are rarely wrong. Good luck on your life journey. Best wishes Alan

I am a firm believer in the collective unconscious, even tried to read some Jung on the subject but got sidetracked.. :) For now I will just steal his quote. For Jung, “My thesis then, is as follows: in addition to our immediate consciousness, which is of a thoroughly personal nature and which we believe to be the only empirical psyche (even if we tack on the personal unconscious as an appendix), there exists a second psychic system of a collective, universal, and impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals. This collective unconscious does not develop individually but is inherited. It consists of pre-existent forms, the archetypes, which can only become conscious secondarily and which give definite form to certain psychic contents.”[1]
I read a little of Jung in college, think I vaguely remember that quote. All of the great scientists around the world pick up on the unconscious, and some even create the same theories at the same time because of this. The existence of this is quite phenomenal
