There are two parts of our brain. The conscious, and the sub-conscious. There may be more parts which we do not understand.
All our life, we live to satisfy our sub-conscious and trying to know more and more about it. Most of the time, we do not even know, why we reacted to particular situations in a particular manner. Sometimes, we demonstrate skills which we not at all posses in special situations.
All the life, the conscious tries to understand the subconscious by giving in random inputs and the subconscious produces random output. Then we try to predict the wiring inside our subconscious by understanding the output. This is how, with life, we tend to define our personality, our skills, our liking, disliking and a lot more.
According to philosophy of Osho, if you want to reach divine (my definition of divine is above the problems created by your subconscious) , you have to get over your obsessions.So, if you have a strong desire for something, do that till the extent that, the node in our subconscious which gives us pleasure in doing that thing, stops reacting to this pleasure stimulus.
Now, the common consciousness theory suggests, that when common traits going on a world level (like materialism, like world-tours, like going pubs, like rock-n-roll, like 70’s fashion crazy decade) these all come as a culture around the world. And when all the mass-sub-consciousness get totally satisfied with this pleasure, the sub-consciousness of all human minds together evolves to stop liking it. These are called trend changes for the future.
