In the process of enculturation your mind becomes socialized. Your mental identity is a collectivist, and your ego is a socialist, by nature. You have a society in your mind and your ego exists only in relation to other egos appearing in your mental consciousness.
On top of being existentially collectivist-socialists, many egos become ideologically collectivist-socialists, by believing in, that is, by being indoctrinated with, various collectivist ideologies (such as communism, socialism, fascism, “liberalism”, and “progressivism”).
Even if you believe in individualism or capitalism, so long as your mental self-identification is with your ego, you remain a collectivist-socialist at heart.
Your ego exists in a herd of minds. Your ego can “think” only inside a collective hive mind, which is not thinking—authentic, independent, and free thinking—at all. Your thinking is a personalized groupthink so long as you are identified with your ego and live inside the hive mind with your fellow mental slaves in the herd.
To break free from your herd, from your hive mind, is to become a free, integrated individual, a true free thinker, and this break from the herd, which is tantamount to a break from your socialized ego, signifies the breakthrough transformation (real transubstantiation) from the first tier to the second tier in the Spiral Dynamics or AQAL model.
Then, you are free and sovereign. You are existentially integral with reality beyond intellectual cognitive integration of reality in a conceptual model. You are a world. Your self-identity is with the universe. Your individuality or I-ness is cosmic. Your We-ness is cosmically singular and sovereign.
Further, there is a Universe or a Kosmos existing beyond, which Buckminster Fuller described as “the aggregate of all humanity’s consciously apprehended and communicated nonsimultaneous and partially overrapping experiences.”
This is what I call the Omnicentric Universe. To explore this Universe is to explore the inner and outer universes beyond your own.
Other humans become the portals to their worlds of experience, their universes. Those who are thus awakened to the Omnicentric Consciousness, will someday create an Omnicentric World on the planet earth.
