According to William James, '''Passivity''' is a characteristic of a [[Mystical Experience]] (a.k.a. [[Connection Experience]]. A mystical experience is an intense [[Connection Event]], out of one's control, with deep and significant spiritual content that cannot immediately, or without considerable effort, be put grounded and put into words.

==Notes==

[[William James]] says "the mystic feels as if his own will were in abeyance, and indeed sometimes as if he were grasped and held by a superior power.<ref>

Typically a passive experience is a neophyte experience.

==Notes==

The archetype of Good versus Evil, for example, is an archetype in the collective consciousness of this planet. Almost every single human on planet Earth believes in the reality and significance of Good and Evil.

It is possible to unpack and examine the collective consciousness of a community, nation, or planet by extracting and examining the archetypes and ideas contained in the consciousness of the members of a specific community.

Collective Consciousness may be distinguished from [[Monadic Consciousness]].

==Notes==

Rudolph Steiner considers an initiate someone who has had direct communication with extraterrestrials (whom he repeatedly refers to as "gods," inside [[Temples of the Mysteries]]<ref>Steiner, Rudolph. Cosmic Memory (Kindle Location 505). Kindle Edition. </ref>. For him, initiations are secret and confined only to the chosen, capable, purest, few. Initiates are the [[Divine Messengers]] who help "the gods" in their millennial efforts to evolve an advanced human civilization. In later evolutionary epochs, they are also the "principal leaders" ([[Manu]]), or "Kings" who ostensibly lead humans forward on the evolutionary path.

<blockquote class="quotation">From this third group the above-mentioned principal leader, whom occult literature designates as Manu, selected the ablest in order to cause a new humanity to emerge from them. These most capable ones existed in the fifth subrace. The faculty of the sixth and seventh sub-races had already gone.<ref>Steiner, Rudolph. Cosmic Memory (Kindle Locations 529-531). Kindle Edition.</ref>
