[ti]key[/ti]The Morphogenetic Field

Well what if you look at each conscious organism as a 'branch' of a lens, which connects to the 'tree of life' joining all things? And time as a fractal of organization which determines the arrangement of facets? Sun, stars, rocks, trees - all of these components of matter would not be stagnant and dead in such a framework, but rather living conscious currents in their own right, anchors in time and space - perhaps with less obtrusive influence on the past and future, but no less extent or conscious for all that.

We can't see what is real outside of our sensory organs, so in essence we are seeing a model of what is 'out there', not the raw data. perception is an absolute necessity of causation, which means that in some capacity the narrative of chronology is a manifestation of the appendage of consciousness. Does that perhaps mean that reality is only causal to the extent that we experience it that way?

There are stories of mystics and yogis transporting themselves across vast distances and appearing outside of the boundary of ordinary physics. Also, if we are speaking of things like mercavahs we are talking about hyperdimensional objects. What if this is because the illusion of space is only a manifestation of the passing of time? And the passing of time is only a measurement of inner space, subject to relativism, dilation and other misperceptions?

Perhaps the only true conspiracies in the world are the clock and the mirror.

People are all facets of the same whole. That doesn't make any protrusion of the whole less real than another part. It just means in a very fundamental way, all consciousness is connected amongst itself - unified and in constant communication. We have boundaries which delineate one person's conscious ego experience from another. Let's say you call that boundary the 'veil'. You exist in your own bubble of experience, but that bubble is always connected to the ocean. When you have a hyperdimensional experience, you are contacting a place in the aether - like an ocean of water - that is disparate, but of course the entire ocean is just one giant body of water. All of conscious experience is an ocean of energy, and there are centers of energetic power and centers of lull. Like the tides.

That thread - speaking of 'whether the nobody is a person which the pattern of the world changes around' - is referring to this general concept. I have referred to it many times as well. You aren't in a vacuum of experience. Rather all you experience is in a constant push and pull over the pattern of the entirety. Just like there are critical variables which coordinate the system we call the 'climate' - and while they seem extremely chaotic and difficult to predict, there are clear factors which exert more influence than other factors, and when you 'zoom out' enough on the picture, however chaotic it initially looks - you start to see a general pattern. Well let's say that there were some people whom whole tidal circuits began to be mediated around, changing the whole system of push and pull or charge. That person would be investigated as a nobody. Coherence is a measurement of order. Well at a certain threshold the measurement of coherence corresponds to geometry. Some people create more coherence than other people. They have a greater influence on reality. But they are not 'more real'. If you were to see them in some sort of interface, perhaps they would best be pictured as a geometry which had a great deal of intricacy, volume and breadth. Waves of angular intersection leading to a very precise and finite point of consciousness, lazerlike perhaps.

The interaction between two people is quite real. The best analogy I have ever heard of the interaction between people is that the meeting of two personalities is like chemistry - if there is any reaction, both are transformed. Another thing - just because physical space shall we say, time and reality are mental representations does not as such make them 'illusory'. Similarly, just because something is an illusion does not make it any less 'real'. Merely have the experience of something as if it were real is enough to qualify it as a real experience. Reality is not somehow less, neither are the people within it , because it lacks a concrete deterministic freeway leading from the beginning to the end. All that it means is that the feeling that we are discrete entities which live an die in a black hole of sentience - that feeling is the symptom of a fledgling awareness.

Many biologists have propounded the idea of a morphogenetic field
-- a condition of space that retains the memory of the form that the embryo evolves towards under the
guidance of the fields. But these earlier works hold on to the concept of local fields and also to the
materialist belief in "upward causation" -- the supremacy of matter as the cause of everything.
But morphogenesis has overtones of teleology (the idea that some final purpose is driving the
system) to many. And the biologist Rupert Sheldrake has injected new principles in the old idea of
morphogenetic fields to incorporate teleology, non-locality, and downward causation. His
morphogenetic fields are purposive and non-local. They are not material. They are capable of
downward causation in matter through a new principle called "morphic resonance". According to
Sheldrake, as soon as a new form comes about, it sets up its own field which is continually reinforced
with its ongoing replication, thus explaining the memory exhibited in morphogenesis. However, there is
the question of the source of the morphogenetic fields that resonate with matter -- an implicit dualism.

The purpose of this essay is to show that although dualistic in its original form, Sheldrake's ideas can
be given sound footing on the basis of Quantum principles applied in the conceptualization of the living
cell within the context of a new science -- science within consciousness, a science based on the primacy
of consciousness.

Suppose the DNA
are just receivers (like radio receivers) rather than the generators of the information of the plan. Radio
receivers can receive a signal because they resonate with the electromagnetic wave of the signal.
Similarly, the DNAs receive the morphogentic signal (the instructions for activation of a particular part)
via morphic resonance.

Resonance phenomenon in radio needs electromagnetic wave propagation between a source and
a receptor. In Sheldrake's theory, there is the receptor (the living object) and there is the information
being received (the morphogenetic fields). But the source is left ambiguous and implicit. Perhaps this
was because Sheldrake was aware that any explicit talk of a source will be attacked as dualism. But
leaving out the source of morphogenetic information is the reason that Sheldrake cannot explain how the
first such field comes into being. He leaves it to "some inherent creative intelligence in mind and
nature".

I will show that Sheldrake's intuition is correct, and that this intelligence is consciousness itself
looked upon as the ground of all being. Consciousness acts on matter in conjunction with a vital body
that contains the blueprints of biological forms. That is the source of morphic information. (Here I am
generalizing the use -- in Chinese and Indian medicine -- of the vital body as the container of the
blueprints of health.) And the function of morphic fields and resonance is carried out by consciousness
simultaneously choosing actuality from possibility forms of both the vital and the physical body of an
organism. And yet, this process does not involve dualism. Instead, the process involves self-referential
quantum measurement (see later).

In passing, let me mention one more thing. Sheldrake extends his theory of morphic fields also to
nonliving things such as crystals. In the new theory expounded here, the non-living is excluded from the
context of morphogenesis. This enables us to clearly distinguish between Life and non-Life. Life is
where self-referential quantum measurement can take place (see later) via which consciousness imbues
vital meaning to living things. Crystal has form, but its forms have no intrinsic meaning other than what
we ascribe.
