Alienated Consciousness and Soul
As has been previously discussed, an Alienated Consciousness is the belief that one is detached from, and perhaps in an antagonistic relationship with, a group in which one is actually a member. Now, typically, the estrangement originates in a political disenfranchisement. But, in one case, the group involved is a Collective that is not a subset of another Collective--the Human species itself. In this case, the Alienated Consciousness is a belief that one is a special kind of Individual--a 'Soul'--one which can be 'saved' from the group. In other words, a prominent Theological doctrine breeds and reinforces an Alienated Consciousness that is beyond any particular political disenfranchisement.
