I have written a piece myself recently about poetry memes in Irish traditional culture, and why I think that these are important vectors for transforming group consciousness. The 'hive-mind' concept is also a useful metaphor for this. Of course, there are oblique references to this in the Bible, with 'the powers and principalities in high places', ....
Very important metaphysical analysis. It has such rich explanatory power and also is extremely useful to anyone attempting to do politics. Politics in this framing is really only the coercion of the societal mind.
Though I predict some rationalists will strike issue with the wording of “world mind”. Because it is not like a literal typical human or animal conscious mind.
In these cases it need only be pointed out that the world mind operates subconsciously, and to deny subconscious minds is to deny your own subconscious.
I think there are many examples of classically theological ideas that have a rationalist basis for truth. The problem mostly stems from the false-pretenses of modern-thinking. Atheists with axes to grind and the like. A lot of Studies in Ancient Wisdom (SAW) have shown that modern rationality can help to define a lot of classically mystic ideas. At the same time, mystic ideas can help a great deal in exposing emergent truths that science-worship remains blind to. A melding of the two is going to be expressed over the next few hundred years in unique way; i.e. my expectation of the next great civilization, holistic civilization.
If you think the material is worth consideration, restack the article plz. Getting important ideas out there into the collective unconscious is part of why we're here.
You're probably right "Perennial Wisdom" has a great ring to it. Still, I suspect that the SAW acronym will stick regardless of whether we like it or not. I'll roll with it since the idea existing is more important than the name. I might use "Perennial Wisdom" in the future though as that's a damn good name.
I actually heard iirc in WIAHs interview with the Williamson guy use the term.
But WIAH then afterwards reiterated SAW and it’s definitely his own and he’ll use it more often and it communicates the same thing ultimately it’s just more Lynchian-esque
I argue that physical reality, the world ‘out there’, is the collective unconscious, and necessarily nothing more, nothing internal. The collective unconscious is a highly integrated product of consciousness, externalised as the shared world that functions as if all by itself.
I have long intuitively believed this shared unconsciousness could be real. Perhaps supported by quantum connections? Spiritual connections-seems the ancients thought so.
It doesn't even need anything mystic like quantum connections to be real. It's an emergent phenomena, something that the sciences have a very hard time with. Emergent phenomena can't be easily broken down into constituent parts. The repeater-nature of the individual human subconscious easily shares enough information to generate a collective unconscious.
Wow, this is fantastic!

I'm gonna be honest I don't like Rudyard's SAW acronym. "Perennial Wisdom" I think is better and gets at the fact that it's recurring/inevitable.

You're describing an egregore.
It will be more useful to think of the world as a set of cultural groups, each with its own egregore, that interact with one another.
The emergent phenomenon is the world egregore.
