Universal Consciousness refers to the idea that there is a shared, collective awareness that connects all living beings. This concept suggests that individual consciousness is part of a larger, interconnected whole, where thoughts, feelings, and experiences are not isolated but rather part of a greater tapestry of existence. Many spiritual and philosophical traditions, such as Buddhism and Hinduism, explore this notion, proposing that understanding this interconnectedness can lead to greater empathy and compassion. In modern discussions, it often intersects with ideas in quantum physics and psychology, suggesting that consciousness may not be solely a product of individual minds but a universal phenomenon.
