Herded into a Lack of Immunity

Mass society in terms of a herding together has become an industrially managed entity. While massing would have occurred in the past it would have been in extreme conditions. Tribes became communities became villages, towns and city sprawls - along with ever faster transports and communications systems.

The human consciousness - like its societal expression is fragmented and fitted to a corporate dependency on outsourced networks or systems of intelligence. 

BTW many seemed to be independent voices who folded for the covid psyop - as OG have noted. We may think we are independent until the ground is pulled out from under what we had heavily invested in as our reality.

The willingness to identify with humanity and with life, is not itself a herded narrative identity - but a wholeness of being.

Put it this way; if you make others into something to selfishly manipulate, then you cannot recognise them AND choose to persist in loveless thought and behaviour - therefore it is part of the predatory intent to assert strong defences against being undermined or weakened of resolve, by recognising the lives of others as of the same Life.

Part of covering over such loveless intent is the masking in 'virtues' of caring, sympathy and concern.

I don't say this to deny the virtues of any genuine relationship, but that we are masters of masking and making a masking reality. One way of assigning a herd mentality is the adoption of  the masking that offers protection against fears or finds favour under the current sense of power struggle.

Masking can be knowingly engaged as a workable disguise, or unknowing identified in as our reality experience. In that sense unmasking is an Intimacy of being that does not have to do anything about the masking reality - which may be rendered transparent, fall away or operate peripherally instead of as interjection, distancing or coded and conditioned reaction.

Standing in our own being or drawing on resources we didn't know we had, is not likely to occur at any depth within a social support bubble but on leaving or losing it. But uncovering who we are - rather than what we have been conditioned to accept and run, is a basis from which to relate from a wholeness - rather than as a mutually reinforcing set of conditional contracts, jostling for position or cliques of alliance.

If a relationship becomes lost to empty ritual as a result of not valuing the relationship itself, and is persisted in for fear of change, its may seek to bolster itself with all kinds of contrivances to save the appearances - which is the hollowing to a protection of a mask running over lack of substance or loss of respect for truth.
