If it can be perceived that the consensus reality (the Dream of the World) possesses a rudimentary “hive mind”, it then becomes possible to see that this hive mind is predatory in nature, in that it invades and usurps the individual unless the individual has mastered extreme awareness.
We may be “taken over” by the consensual hive, whose primary agenda is to preserve its static, status quo.
The predatory mind can be re-oriented and utilized in order to stalk power. We can become the hunter instead of the hunted.
Differentiating the predator from the parasite is hugely important in this regard so that the predator is not also hungry while stalking.
