I define mass consciousness as the "repository" of the collective conscious awareness of humanity. We are all individual conscious components of a larger "oneness" of collective human consciousness. The more we develop spiritually, the greater our experience of that collective awareness and collective consciousness becomes.
Of course, all this depends on your definitions of consciousness, awareness and spirituality.
My definitions:
Consciousness: The experience of existing
Awareness: The interpretation, understanding and knowledge of that experience.
Spirituality: Anything to do with the non-physical side of our awareness and reality.
Those definitions are by no means meant to be the definitive version of those words. But these are the things I mean when I use the terms.
