Common knowledge, shared consciousness.

Is it beyond belief that organised religion may be onto something, and has only been foiled to date by the more repressive aspects of human nature? In my humble opinion they may be closer to the truth than many in our increasingly secular society give them credit for. Is it too far a stretch to suppose that we as humans share one consciousness and that there is a pathway to link each and every member of the human race in one shared consciousness where peace and love reign supreme? At this point I draw reference to the multiple theories that a "kingdom of heaven" or "promised land" exists and the notion that it is our ultimate goal to enter this world or at least create 'heaven on earth'. If we as a people were to connect in consciousness and thrive on the bi-product of peace and love, then surely the aforementioned platitudes will have been realised? Perhaps idle musing serves no other purpose than to stretch the imagination that little bit further or present the heart with hope in times of woe and misery. One can dream and is certainly entitled to entertain these thoughts, as undeveloped as they may be. The key to unlock this shared consciousness? It remains to be seen...
