    %COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS COLLUSIVE REPRESS HABIT+950130

     There  have been speculations about the existence  of
some mysterious collective unconscious which might pervade
humankind   or   particular  cultures.    The   collective
unconscious  is  often portrayed as existing in some  non-
objective realm beyond the reach of human awareness.   Why
would it be beyond the reach of human awareness?

     Perhaps  at least part of the collective  unconscious
is that collection of truths, experiences, perceptions and
understandings which have been repressed by our  collusive
games of mutual self deception---because such truths would
undermine our dishonest games.

     We  are  often guided if not  dominated  by  habitual
communal feelings,  attitudes, assumptions, traditions and
rituals  which give us collective stability  and  inertia.
Even   when  we become conscious of the existence of,   if
not the details of such realities,  we are not immediately
free  to  transcend them,   change them,  or ignore  them.
Changes in  them need to be made in much the much the same
way   in which they were created;  else there will  be  no
changes.
