A premonition, an insight, a "lucky" guess about something, a brilliant idea, a "knowing" feeling of familiarity about some place, some person or some event...where do those things actually come from? Think about it. Do these thoughts just sort of "pop into our heads" from nowhere? I've come to believe that there is a source for every brilliant (or not so brilliant) thought that I've grabbed onto.
The term "collective unconscious" was coined by Carl Jung. What he referred to was the bottomless, subconscious pool of every single shared experience of the human race.
It's a mind bending concept that I absolutely love. Think of it as a giant database within a computer hard drive - comprised of all of the information ever available to human consciousness, all things learned, all things experienced, all discoveries, etc. That would mean that it is the foundation of all genius, the well of inspiration and the true source of all so called psychic experiences or abilities.
This knowledge has a tremendous impact on the lives of those who become aware of it and apply it. It means that the answer to all questions already exist. All that we must do is ask and "listen" for the answer with the expectation that it already exists. The question and the answer are created from the same paradigm and are therefore perfectly symmetrical - there can be no "up" without an already existent "down." Carl Jung explained this point of view with the term "synchronicity." Furthermore, it says without doubt that it is impossible to ask a question for which there is no answer. They are simply different sides of the same coin!
What would you do if you knew that you had access to all the knowledge, ideas, concepts, and experiences that have ever been? I think that one of the keys is to ask "better questions" and then to trust your "intuition," the little voice, the coincidental occurrences, the dreams...any little signs that you may have previously discounted. You will retrieve your answers when you know that they already existed the moment you asked the question!
Listen closely to your intuition. Hear the "little voice in your head." Go with your "gut" the next time you have a decision to make big or small. Learn to trust the wisdom of those premonitions and feelings, and you will find yourself feeling very aligned in this life.
