Maybe there are various levels of collective consciousness of which we, as individual units, are unaware. And maybe, if such exist, they have a broad influence upon collections of us 'units', perhaps even focusing upon specific individuals from time to time. And then again, maybe not. But I find it an exciting idea. It brings to mind Olaf Stapledon's Star Maker and Last and First Men.
