Changing the Collective Unconscious for Good

Ellen brings out her Wonder Woman powers to bring about a change in Clive’s take on a vital question for intention work–should we seek to change the collective unconscious? In this week’s episode, we talk about what this universal field actually is and how it relates to common theories to the well-known teaching of psychologist Carl Jung, before turning attention to the key question–can and should we consciously seek to impact it? If the answer is yes, it may be that where matters like wiping the slate clean on collective beliefs about gender equality, the question is then not so much about should we, but becomes an imperative that we must. Using gender equality as a practical focus, we explore the importance for mindful, non-controlling intentions aimed at the highest good, exercising energetic responsibility as a way to contribute positively to the collective. Suggested intention focus for this week: I will for gender equality every day, every moment, until I die. Please join us in holding this.
