So if no one else thinks about it, yet it comes directly to you, where are these thoughts coming from? If you haven’t seen it before, haven’t talked about it before with anyone else, where did you get this idea from? How did your mind come up with it all of a sudden?
Though many questions are unsolved and may never get answered, this is perhaps the biggest one of them.
Is there a collective consciousness? Are we all connected?

Though science and Psychology have recognized this phenomenon, of coming to the world with a built-in set of certain believes and behaviors, this question is still being asked more by spirituality seekers than academy professors. On the one hand, the weird feeling that you’re getting when you are coming up with an odd thought is real and happens to many, but on the other hand, it’s still hard to believe that you specifically came up with this idea out of a collective consciousness that we are still not close to figure out.

But next time you’re having a weird thought in the shower, know that it could be a doorway to something more profound and meaningful, than just a thought.
