A Communal Mind: is similar in operation to an individual mind, except that audible conversation replaces silent thoughts; but the mechanism of understanding is the same ideas, expressed in words, which are filtered by a code of values to determine which should become reasons for action.
And think, for a moment how this statement ties in with the Tower of Babel language analogy.
Gen 11:1-7 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth." But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."
The KJV says that
Gen 11:6=now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
So again, we have two flows in the Bible. Flow#1:Submit to God or Flow#2:imagine your own destiny.
