Title: Can terrorism activity trigger our collective consciousness?
Post by: smart on 09/02/2017 23:54:49

The Quebec terrorist attack has affected my collective consciousness. I felt sad about how one can radicalise itself to commit violent acts on its own people. 

Can terrorism activity provoke a strong emotional response to awaken the "collective consciousness"? Or can the medias amplify the phenomenon?

Do we have a "collective mind" and is this evidence of brain-to-brain connectivity ?

How do you know?

Might be good to explain what you mean by collective consciousness, I mean how can it be "Yours" if its collective?

Interesting I saw a little film the other day that suggested that 9-11 was carried out inorder to wake everyone up.

Of feeling sad about an attack- Sure if you dont know, if the media didnt tell you, then naturally you wouldnt.
