Collective Consciousness and Hidden Picture Puzzles
A man by the name of Rupert Sheldrake did an experiment with hidden picture puzzles that indicate that humans have some sort of shared knowledge abilities. These puzzles contain a picture of an object that is hidden or camouflaged within the picture. [example fig. 1]

What Sheldrake did was measure the amount of time it took the average person to find the hidden picture in the puzzles he presented them. Then he took one of the puzzles and showed it to millions of viewers on a BBC TV program, showing the viewers exactly where the hidden picture was in the puzzle. After that, he took the puzzles to remote locations of the world where the people had definitely not seen or heard about the BBC TV program and then presented the puzzles to those people. The findings were amazing, twice as many people found the hidden picture in the puzzle that aired on BBC TV to millions of viewers, than could find it originally. And, just to make sure that people that lived in remote locations weren't just better at solving hidden picture puzzles, he presented them with another puzzle that had not been shown to millions of TV viewers. This time they scored the average for finding the hidden picture. This indicates that humans may also have a collective mind. And, that when a certain threshold of knowledge is reached that knowledge is more easily accessible to all humans.
Perhaps this is why more people are waking up to the idea that taxation is theft.
Thanks for up-voting, following and re-steeming.
Interesting puzzle, looks like a man and woman dancing in the center.
What people, I believe, need to do is wake up to the fact that those whom ignore the facts about history, are doomed to repeat it.
People have throughout history have been robbed by the belief it was taxes due to support the community, and again that"safe" and "protection" dependency on the king, government, or whatever type of tyrant wants to instill his rule of theft by tax.
Brilliant comment buster544. And, yes, I would say that the hidden picture is a man and woman dancing together.
I am just starting to understand this concept of a collective consciousness. I believe doing a special type of meditation (pushing energy down from head to feet) has connected me to my higher self. Thank you for the article.
