Similar to our individual minds, as a collective, we 'put out' unconscious questions which are 'answered' by art, war, or some kind of projection. It's undirected potential energy.
Your response makes a lot of sense to me. I have been saying to friends and others for some time that the greatest teachers here during this crazy time are the artists, writers, film makers, actors, and so on.
Although most actors say that they do not believe any of what they portray, their mediums and genres certainly expound truths which are recognised by many, if only at a subconscious level. As many could no doubt relate, much of what passes for fiction in the world is reality for us. And beautifully so, too!
