Following the Herd

There’s so much herd mentality energy in our society that it’s almost impossible to break its hold, and the reason for this is because the thing being followed is focused on and not the herd mentality of “I”…


The herd mentality will drag you along unconsciously unless there’s some awareness that it’s happening. To me the only thing that allows this awareness are your thoughts slowing down enough to where there’s a millisecond of space between them; in this space the herd mentality’s pull lessens. The only thing I’ve found that allows this space is being present. It’s very important to understand this because people sit for hours with other intentions and the moment they’re finished, the herd mentality thought of “I” takes over. An understanding of this is beneficial because it allows for a clear vision which keeps the mind open to learn. If everything stays in the head as herd intellect, it will be difficult to break free from the energy of this. The larger the group attachment the harder it is to pull away.


One example of this is in the Bible, the masses grew and grew as the Pharisees publicly tried Jesus. As more people were pulled into the herd mentality to crucify, the energy intensified. If you research some of the conquerors of the past, you will see exactly how the herd mentality works. As their reigns widened and their tyranny expanded, the herd mentality deepened. There’s so much of this energy in our society right now and it’s reinforced daily. Its so hard to break free because of the attached herd mentality of “I” that keeps it in place. This even includes those trying to help because the herd mentality is to “I” and the focus is always on the thing that’s happening. Until “I” is addressed very few people will ever truly break free from the herd because the attached mentality won’t allow space between your thoughts as the energy of “I” remains in control…
