How Consciousness Creates Reality

It was the famous channeled work known as the Seth Material whose
postulate was simply, “consciousness creates reality - not the
other way around.” When I first laid my eyes on this small slice of
wisdom, it instantly resonated. Consciousness - whatever it is - is
the foundation for the reality that we experience, not just an
epiphenomenon that is generated by the brain. Though short and to
the point, the implications for such an idea are enormous and
should not be taken lightly. Here’s why… If consciousness (the
invisible) is what gives rise to the reality we experience (the
visible), then there are most probably no exceptions to this rule.
In other words, we cannot have anything exist in the physical
universe without first the idea of it precasting before landing in
its final position. Absolutely everything that we see and
experience begins as a thought or an idea in the realms of the
unseen, from cell structure to earthquakes to wars to trees and
rolling hills. But what is that x-factor that makes it so? If
consciousness is what creates reality than who's consciousness is
it? It was Jung who popularized the term, collective unconscious -
the idea that our entire species is connected to a web of symbols;
archetypes and instincts that although live in the world of the
invisible, once dreamed up by the collective, will play out in the
physical. Jung believed that it was this collective that
undergirded our physical reality and that since shared by the mass
of humanity would have profound influence on both the individual
and collective lives of our species. In Paul Levy’s book Dispelling
Wetiko - Breaking the Curse of Evil, he cites this idea of the
collective unconscious (or collective dream) as what has given rise
to what he refers to as “malignant egophrenia” - what the Native
Americans called wetiko, meaning psychic virus or parasite of the
mind. Levy believes that the level of evil and ego mania that we’re
seeing play out on this planet rises from the depths of the
unconscious. The hard pill to swallow is that we are the ones who
are creating the reality at the level of the invisible. “The wetiko
collective psychosis is a field phenomenon and needs to be
contemplated as such. The field itself is not a separately existing
thing but a dynamically evolving living process in which we are all
participants, simultaneously creating and being created by,” says
Levy. This of course is a very sobering thought and one that I
suspect most would rather not own. And yet, if consciousness is the
variable for everything that we see play out in the 3D and we are
in essence consciousness - individually and en masse, then it
stands to reason that we are integral in creating every aspect of
reality that we experience whether it be good or evil, though at an
unconscious level. Provocative to say the least! Let’s dive a bit
