Collective aspect of awakening

Well although I am not a therapist, one thing I figure that may not get much consideration is  collective vs. individual awakening. I suppose the former is beyond the scope of psychotherapy, but it may be a concern for the individual in front of you. If we talk about it in terms of holding presence, then we have to distinguish between a local presence that shows up through interpersonal dynamics from something in a larger context. One might also say the energy is simply different. I doubt this comes up very often but it does exist, would be nice to be aware of it anyway.

Re: Collective aspect of awakening?

What can be more non-dual than a message posted by someone called, “Nobody”?

Might the phrase, “Collective Awakening” be an oxymoron? I mean, while it is certainly possible for the collective to awaken beyond a previous level of awareness, if the collective as a whole advances, then what is or what might be the basis for such a new measurement or comparison? Might the concept of a collective awakening be more of a positive-thinking type of approach?

How the individual in front of you relates to such concepts may certainly be at issue. I notice that a LOT of people put a lot of emphasis on issues relating to the collective when I see the collective as a kind of “end result” as opposed to being a cause, kind of like an unconscious form of intelligence (or lack thereof?).
