As for example.. personas within a person with Multiple Personality Disorder merging with each others, gaining access to each other's memory and realize that it's actually one individual.
When someone has a Multiple Personality Disorder this multiple persons exist without knowing each other as far i know.

It's used to describe the 'branching' of one to become 'many' and the 'merging' of many back to become one.
Just like branches of tree originated from the same root / trunk or in reverse, branches of creeks and rivers will eventually merged into one large bodies of water called sea.
Yes - this will make sense.
But we have talked about different type of groups an individual can be part of.
All this different groups exist simultaneously, like a clan, folk / tribalism, human being.
So this can be seen as a zoom level within the fractal being of the one creator.
Number one, a "human being" is not a tribe. It is one homo sapien.
The modern world has left tribalism behind. I say the modern world and not those that are still living in the bush or on isolated islands and so forth.
Tribalism:
With a negative connotation and in a political context, tribalism can also mean discriminatory behavior or attitudes towards out-groups, based on in-group loyalty.
In-group loyalty. Meaning, that another group is on the outside of that particular tribe. We are speaking of tribes just like we would look at ancient man as hunter-gatherer groups and this is exactly what I am referring to as tribalism. Where anything outside of this tribe sybolizes an outsider.
A collective or a social memory complex is just as Jafar has said and as Ra stated it. It is a collection of "individuals" seeking together and what links them is the very thing they seek while remaining an individual or uniquely itself.
Collective Consciousness: is the set of shared beliefs, ideas, and moral attitudes which operate as a unifying force within society
Modern society is a collection of individuals. Sure, we have families but we leave these families to forge our own way while staying in touch with our families. This is far from tribalism. Tribalism stays exclusively within the tribe and is loyal to only that particular tribe.
We, together, yet individual are leaving the ways of being a hunter-gatherer type people, I hope.
A collective would invite others to become a part of the collective where the tribe would protect the integrity of the tribe and be suspicious of a newcomer.
Togetherness is a higher expression of tribalism because the individual decides to be a part of or to join the force that unifies. The individual does not join the collective but it links up with the force that draw the others together while still remaining purely the self realized individual. All one would have to do is to read on the differences between being a member of a tribe and the behavior associated with that or connecting to a unifying force that allows the individual to remain uniquely itself while seeking a unifying force.
Though you study the Ra Material and seek with the rest of us, you still remain Tadeus and move through this creation as this avatar so to speak. You do not enforce rules and regulate the thinking of others to bend their ideas more toward the tribe. No. You allow others to think and be as they wish while each seeks the Creator together.
One bends free will the other allows the full expression of free will.
