Amongst the many theories of psychologist and occultist Carl Jung, was the possibility that all thoughts are collected in a huge reservoir of knowledge.

Occultists refer to this as the 'Akashic Records'. This is the realm of all thoughts, ideas and actions which Jung gave a more presentable name, 'the collective unconscious'.

Those who, with discipline and meditation, have witnessed this phenomenon, all agree it is an amazing experience and I who can be sceptical did not believe in this until I saw it for myself.

Edgar Cayce was among the best of modern practitioners. To see and feel the past as it happened, makes a total mockery of our history books.

A practical example of this is the invention of the motorised carriage in 1885 and which we know now known as the motorcar. Carl Benz, although working in secret, produced an almost identical 'horseless carriage' invented by Gottlieb Daimler, which was immediately followed by several other of inventors' vehicles, including one in Britain called the Bremer car.

The theory runs that an idea comes down the spheres until it is grasped by the inventor but that very idea can simultaneously also be grasped by other inventors, so an idea is rarely taken up by just one person, Another example of individual inventors arriving at a common goal, is the atomic bomb.

But if this 'collective unconscious' is an accepted phenomenon and even if quacks and sceptics were to admit it is highly likely, lets not forget that argument in logic (much like what Conan-Doyle said), 'The most likely answers to a problem must be accepted, until other answers can later be found'.

And this is one problem with witness sightings of U.F.O's; the government explanations are often more far out than the phenomenon itself. In fact, a senior colleague at Lakenheath air base says this is just black humour designed to poke fun at those who report such sightings.

But if we humans do have a repository for our thoughts, in fact if the thoughts of all peoples throughout history were in some cosmic basket, then why is there no such basket for animals?

And of course there is.

The ancient Egyptians had a 'Manu', or overseer, for each animal kingdom and their headed gods were their representations of the group soul or 'collective unconscious' of each animal kingdom. Under certain conditions it can be contacted, and we most be under no doubt that these collective animal intelligences are angry at their treatment by humans.

The Egyptians were aware of this and it was noted by Christians taking the word overseer, in their Roman version of a 'bishop', designed to act as a governor over the peoples. This terminology was even equated to a shepherd and his flock.

There are magical practitioners who have associated themselves with animal species and function much like a 'horse whisperer'.

A cave in Namibia contains a superb wall painting 27,000 years old, of a man with a lions head and jaw. Other cave paintings are 32,000 years old, remember, Christ was born only 2,000 years ago.

The veneration of animals with human attributes is a world wide phenomenon and is known as Therianthropism. These pictures duplicate Hindu deities which are much too similar for co-incidence.

Other countries also have their Manu and these nations too have their group soul.

In the Holy book 'The Laws of Manu', circa1500 B.C., it says- and it can be no plainer than this- 'The great sages approached Manu, who was seated with a collected mind'.

A collected mind? Can this be the collective unconscious Jung describes?

Today this is often called the Universal Mind,\ and this repository of all knowledge exists in the 'Akasha', or ether, which Theosophists say exists all around us and is the building blocks of Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

Just as a fish cannot see the water in which it swims, so we do not see the air in which we humans do our day to day living, but this air contains within its atomic structures this same Akasha, or ether, containing everything that has ever happened.

This is an incredible theory, while those who have experience of it see it as fact,

Many who talk of it have never seen it. The paranormal is full of flannellers, quacks and knockers, and this makes many people slaves to the sceptics.

Marianed once said: 'He that will not learn is a bigot, he that cannot reason is a fool and he that dare not reason is a slave'.

Always keep an open doorway into your mind and the occasional visitors of knowledge and wisdom must always, on their rare visits, be made our welcome guests.
