Love the theory of collective consciousness. We see it so often in so many invention races or theories. Think about the space race. People coming up with similar ideas at the same time. There was also the case of the foil lid milk bottles. Most of us in our late 30's or older will remember getting milk delivered and left on our doorsteps. Back then the bottles had foil lids, then birds in the Northern hemisphere discovered that they could peck through the foil to get to the liquid. In no time birds in the Southern hemisphere were doing the same thing. Soon after the foil lids were replaced with plastic.

Yes, this what I am talking about, things have their time, and there is nothing (?) to stop them. It is like a tide, you can't hold it back, it will rise, peak and then ebb away leaving the patterns in the sand that only hint at what was.
He he... yes, I remember milk bottles with tin foils. ;-)
That's the first time I've heard the collective unconscious sound romantic ;) may the sands of time and ideas continue to flow
as everything continues to flow in the moment, even the collective unconscious is changing with the endless accretion of experience we each contribute. This is the well spring of inspiration that speaks to certain individuals who cannot deny the flux of the Zeitgeist as it buoys them to action, the consequences of which can be far reaching in as much a tsunami may reach inland.
