Collective Consciousness, Conscience, Internet
As has been previously discussed, a meaning of the phrase 'collective unconscious' that is more accurate than Jung's is 'unawareness of being a part of a collective'. On that basis, the phrase 'collective consciousness' means 'awareness of being a part of a collective'. Accordingly, the traditional concept of Conscience can be analyzed as a nascent Collective Consciousness. But, that nascent phenomenon is currently becoming explicit and concrete in what is sometimes being called 'Collective Consciousness', i. e. the Internet. So, the Internet is de-mystifying the traditional concept of Conscience.
