Eldon:

I have tuned into our mind a little bit in the past and
completely concur with that which you have stated. Carl Jung
kept stating that the various cultures, not necessarily joined by
normal communication and trade, could all come up with the same
rational and loving thoughts, means of re-tie-ing oneself to
Life!, my tuning into the Collective Unconsciousness. He
mentioned this to or about Alice Bailey's work, that she was
getting this information from the collective unconsciousness and
she replied, if so, she was getting packages and letters in the
mail from her "collective unconscious". It is wonderful to seek
and find truth directly "within" one's oneself and then seek and
find other's who have done the same . . . . ahhhh! Community!
Here on earth!

It is fine with me to share these communications and to see the
various fomulations from others of the same insights.
