Ponder this... Go back to the possibility that Jung only scratched the surface with his description of the Collective Unconscious, and that the CU is already analagous to the internet, with every human having a wireless link that 99.999% never have the faintest hint exists. It opens a universe of futher analogues. Consider instances of demonic possession, abducting aliens, monster sightings, UFOs, ghosts...maybe not so much rogue algorithms ala The Matrix, but more like viruses. Some people, by virtue of their particular psychology or organic factors have breaches in their anti-virus protection. Sure, all of us human PCs have potential for software bugs and bad memory locations that send us to the doc or a shrink. But maybe the exotic stuff - even conditions like MPD - are related to pathologies from "on-line".
Consider the paradox of fights over reincarnation memories in Hindu culture, where both young Ajit and Pradesh have clear memories they tell their parents about, having had a previous life as a recently deceased priest in the next town or some such. Were BOTH the boys the same guy in a previous life? Or did they both just happen to download from the CU some of the memories / facets of old dead Raj's life. Heaven knows (no pun)that nigh-embarrassing reports I posted on-line 14 years ago about alien abductions are STILL being copied and re-posted, long after I removed them from my computer. Crap lives forever. In the human Collective Unconscious "bio-matrix", grey aliens, skinwalkers, mothmen, Satanic Ritual Abuse events, etc are analagous to viruses. Greater belief systems and religions could be analagous to domains or web rings. Islam, or Roman Catholicism, or Hindu domains, with their attendant rules and presumed deities, are very big and have many members - on-line in both a conscious and unconscious way. An obscure animist cult practiced on some island in the South Pacific 1500 years ago is probably long gone from the CU, or exists only as a miniscule file. Consider it. Every human being with a home page of their own that most never consciously check the contents of. And when you die? The hard drive crashes, the power supply fries, and you end up in a landfill. But maybe if you lived right and died right, and had the right files of an uncorrupted sort... the particular domain you were unknowingly a member of did an auto-upload. Or maybe there is an auto-upload function in all of us as an add-on. Jesus saves?!? How literally true maybe. So if the Collective Unconscious bio matrix contains the Happy Hunting Grounds, Heaven, Hell, Elysium, Land o' the Dead (where Jerry lives on) I guess we are hunky dory until the last human being dies...for when he or she passes, all the Gods and heavens and hells and data of the Collective Unconscious Internet - five million years or more, will pass into oblivion as well. Unless some real aliens or gods come along to do a master upload :) It makes a strong case also for taking care of our planet and our species. Of course this implies that one of the most overwhelming discoveries in human biology/neurology has yet to be made. If all of this is so... then what structure in the human brain is the wireless link? The Collective Unconscious, like the Internet, has no one seat or central location - being distributed information. But the Internet and all connections into it rely on hardware of a very specific sort. In the case of the CU, I'd wager this hardware is chemical-quantum, and coded with DNA somehow. Otherwise I think we would have all sorts of terrifying bleedovers from the Raccoon Matrix or Dog Matrix or the very silly Koala Matrix. Maybe its spintronic in nature. If the mergence of Xbox into man continues as it likely will, there may come a point where the two human neural continua -old and new- will begin to REALLY cross-talk, not just cross reference through the middle man of conscious thought. thpooky.
