Collective Unconscious Order Confusion

More From Hermann Hesse

The collective unconscious appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. in fact the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious. we can see this most clearly if we look at the heavenly constellations, whose originally chaotic forms are organized through the projection of images. this explains the influence of the stars as asserted by astrologers. these influences are nothing but unconscious instrospective perceptions of the collective unconscious.

The main characteristic of collectivism is that it does not take notice of the individual's will and moral self-determination. in the light of its philosophy the individual is born into a collective and it is "natural" and proper for him to behave as members of this collective are expected to behave. expected by whom? of course, by those individuals to whom, by the mysterious decrees of some mysterious agency, the task of determining the collective will and directing the actions of the collective has been entrusted.

Man holds these rights [life, liberty and property], not from the collective nor for the collective, but against the collective - as a barrier which the collective cannot cross... these rights are man's protection against all other men.

Studying the buddha way is studying oneself. studying oneself is forgetting oneself. forgetting oneself is being enlightened by all things. being enlightened by all things is to shed the body-mind of oneself, and those of others. no trace of enlightenment remains, and this traceless enlightenment continues endlessly.
Self Mind Enlightenment
So let us decide whether you want a shelter, a safety zone, which will no longer yield conflict, whether you want to escape from the present conflict to enter a condition in which there shall be no conflict; or whether you are unaware, unconscious of this conflict in which you exist. if you are unconscious of the conflict, that is, the battle that is taking place between that self and the environment, if you are unconscious of that battle, then why do you seek further remedies? remain unconscious.

Our memory is made up of our individual memories and our collective memories. the two are intimately linked. and history is our collective memory. if our collective memory is taken from us - is rewritten - we lose the ability to sustain our true selves.

A sense of security, of well-being, of summer warmth pervades my memory. that robust reality makes a ghost of the present. the mirror brims with brightness; a bumblebee has entered the room and bumps against the ceiling. everything is as it should be, nothing will ever change, nobody will ever die.

But do you know this idea of the imaginary homeland? once you set out from shore on your little boat, once you embark, you'll never truly be at home again. what you've left behind exists only in your memory, and your ideal place becomes some strange imaginary concoction of all you've left behind at every stop.

Time is, after all, the greatest of poets; and the sons of memory stand a better chance of being the heirs of fame.
