I was thinking about this post today in light of comments Uncle Rockstar made on nostr:npub159xcmvys8az0s5z8whjwr4senal5px6sjgmskvhyq2u0fkwpk2ds0zg2g6 ‘s podcast, where they were discussing the need in this increasingly digital and information based world, to segregate individual identities within our own formerly individual experience; both for security and privacy, and to manage the ever increasing bombardment of information and communications we are subjected to. It seems that even individuals now are practicing this diasporation by necessity, but also maybe as a way to experience the universe in more than one way as individuals. We are repeating the process of splitting our experience of universe on yet another zoomed in level of this fractal coastline of consciousness.
Discussion
As above, so below. As below, so above.
If we take as the premise what I said in the OP, and that our course of evolution ultimately leads back to unity with the Creator in a sort of singularity, then, as (apparently) "individual units of consciousness", it would be, at some point in our evolutionary progression back towards Divinity, to cease to be "individual units of consciousness" and, instead, merge into a "group consciousness" of sorts. Terms like "social memory complex" or "egregore" or "collective consciousness" all apply.
I believe this is indeed the case and this is why the usage of the "royal we" propagated. I can imagine multiple ways that some royal(s) became aware of this over time. Perhaps wanting to appear as gods, the royals began using the royal we.
I say that to reinforce what you shared. Perhaps by diasporating ourselves into multiple personalities via nyms, nicknames, etc. we are exploring multiple modes of being. Perhaps as a prerequisite experience to merging into a groupsoul/egregore/social memory complex thingy, it makes sense for us to "try on many hats" as an exercise that mitigates friction when coexistent in a groupsoul. Exploring different "selves" is productive whether it be different "facets" of our own self or whether it is other selves.
*it would be LOGICAL, at some point in our evolutionary progression back towards Divinity, to cease to be "individual units of consciousness" and, instead, merge into a "group consciousness" of sorts.
Yes. I don’t think this is necessarily healthy what’s happening now.
In the systems I’m studying, most people are not yet individuated to their proper level. We are not supposed to give up that individuation at any point. Instead at higher realms we can exist as individuals but still function in collective groups. Clear separation is a feature of the physical world and we aren’t done manifesting it. Trying to merge back into group consciousness is something people will do to try and escape the struggles of individual expression and we shouldn’t tempt them with the idea of skipping that step. Only the individuals who fail to eventually become their perfected individual self will be totally dissolved back into the source and then their individual quality will be lost to the universe.
