Mass Consciousness

Mass Consciousness is an oxymoron. It is a contradiction in terms. Consciousness has no mass and mass has no consciousness.

Mass is an intrinsic property of physical matter, not mental consciousness. A mass or collective of people do not have a mass consciousness.

Consciousness is an individual mental condition, as is a thought of a mind. It has either a singular or a shared collective perspective.

Mass consciousness is confused with a collective perspective, based on common beliefs, opinions or convictions. When I share another’s beliefs, I share their perspective of reality; although not necessarily their experience of reality.

The Catholic Church has a shared religious doctrine, where its followers worship together ‘en masse’; in a ceremony that is called Mass. Whereas, they may be conscious of their beliefs, this is not mass consciousness but a perspective of a collective congregation in prayer & worship.

Consciousness has no mass, no weight, no volume, no density, just an individual unique perspective of a personal reality.
