Awsome post. I have also been aware of the impact group energy can have. This can be good or bad. I have an unusual spiritual path and recently a spirit I work with (Ogun) talked about group energy. He pointed out that the powers of fear want us to feel alone. He pointed out that worldwide the energy of peace is not counted in the thousands or even millions, but in Billions. He said no one really wants war, sure some may use it for their own gain but no one really wants it. My point is that group energy can work for the good if individuals come together to promote, Love, Compassion, and Peace.
