- yes, indvidual groups have what they may perceive as their own specific and unique rituals and traditions and belief systems that might be taken as a 'collective consciousness'
- or perhaps in more circumscribed terms their egregore??
- yet, historically, does not the similarity of ritual, belief, symbols, etc across peoples of the world who 'probably' have never contacted each other on the physcial planes suggest that the Collective Consciousness is intimately connected to the Collective Unconscious??
- any particular ritual simply being the more "Momentary" expression of those "consciousnesses"?? - their egregore??
>:-}}
- thus the Collective Unconscious is not static - just as the Collective Conscious is not static - just as egregore is not static??
