God is a 4th physical dimension – a layer that flows through us but we cannot see or measure. It is where morphic resonance, and much more, exists.
Ants are not complicated creatures. They can recognize a dozen or so pheromones (scent molecules) and they can also tell when the pheromones are stronger. These are used to message things like food is ahead, or ignore me, I am dead. They can also notice their frequency of encounters with other ants, enabling them to listen to what the majority tell them. We know from observing them that they stop and sniff each other, like dogs, giving them a stop/go aspect when they are encounter another ant.
That is as far as their ability to communicate goes. But if we observe 20,000 of them in a colony, it is clear that a “swarm logic” has emerged. The colony will continually adjusting how many ants should forage for food, based on population numbers, how much food is in storage, which food is nearby and if other ant colonies are after that same food. No individual ant has any understand of this, but they have a hive mind.
There are numerous such examples in nature, on Earth, where animals simply know what to do, yet we have no idea how they know.
Take for example the European cuckoos, who are famous for laying their eggs in the nest of other bird species – which is what makes this such a good example. These birds migrate from Europe to Africa in the winter, and ordinarily we could suggest a few ways for how they know where to go. However, cuckoos are born in non-cuckoo nests and never meet their parents. There is no knowledge that can be passed on.
For a lone young common cuckoo Cuculus canorus, raised by foster-parents of other species, finding the proper wintering grounds thousands of kilometres away without conspecific guidance appears almost impossible. Nevertheless, as more than a billion other inexperienced migrants from the Palearctic do, it reaches its African wintering grounds every year. How it manages to do this remains one of the most fascinating mysteries of migration biology

Experiments on young cuckoos have shown that they can find their way correctly, even if their starting point is shifted 1,800 kilometres to the east. Turtles, salmon and eels also undertake similar extraordinary journeys. It has been suggested that they use an “inherited magnetic map”, but without actually explaining how the information is stored or even inherited. (see https://academic.oup.com/icb/article/55/3/396/753338 ).
Inherited ideas are often called instincts, and we just accept things as being instinctual without questioning where that instinct comes from. There is some presumption that aspects of it are hard-wired in our genes, but this has not been proven. Humans are instinctively fearful of snakes, even if they have never head of them. “Snake detection theory” suggests that because snakes can be so deadly, the information of what to fear is has contributed to the evolution of the visual systems of primates.
Short of any solid evidence, science is seemingly content with how instinct and hive mind must be wired into animals somehow, because no alternatives exist.
Enter Rupert Sheldrake and his ideas of formative causation and morphic resonance. Wikipedia says:
Sheldrake’s morphic resonance posits that “memory is inherent in nature” and that “natural systems … inherit a collective memory from all previous things of their kind.” Sheldrake proposes that it is also responsible for “telepathy-type interconnections between organisms.”
Simply put, morphic fields are a hypothetical place where data related to instinct, learning and hive minds is stored and accessed by a species. It solves the mystery of how instinct is inherited, and offers an answer to mysteries like simultaneous invention.
Sheldrake cites an experiment in involving rats and two gangways which offered an escape from a tank of water. The illuminated exit gave them a shock, the other did not (and they switched which side was the good choice repeatedly, so that they learned the dark exit was the way to go). The first generation of rats took 200 goes, on average, to learn the secret to not being shocked. The next generation 160 goes, the next 135 goes, until after 21 generations it took just 30 goes on average. Somehow they the information was passed down to the next generation, even though they had no chance to actually teach their babies. This is in line with things we call instinct. What was really interesting was that a separate line of related rats that were not trained in each generation, ended up being just as good at learning how to get out without being shocked. The transmission of learning wasn’t just genetic, it was cross-species. (A New Science of Life, Rupert Sheldrake, pages 188-194)
The hypothesis is sound, and it is at least as good as the more accepted idea of simply “instinct”, but it also lacks a method of storage and transmission. Sheldrake does give us an idea of the type of medium, possibly not physical, that is involved:
Morphogenetic fields can be regarded as analogous to the known fields of physics in that they are capable of ordering physical changes, even though they themselves cannot be observed directly. Gravitational and electromagnetic fields are spatial structures which are invisible, intangible, inaudible, tasteless and odourless; they are detectable only through their respective gravitational and electromagnetic effects. In order to account for the fact that physical systems influence each other at a distance without any apparent material connection between them, these hypothetical fields are endowed with the property of traversing empty space, or even actually constituting it. In one sense, they are non-material; but in another sense they are aspects of matter because they can only be known through their effects on material systems. In effect, the scientific definition of matter has simply been widened to take them into account. Similarly, morphogenetic fields are spatial structures detectable only through their morphogenetic effects on material systems; they too can be regarded as aspects of matter if the definition of matter is widened still further to include them.
A New Science of Life, Rupert Sheldrake, page 76
Sheldrake figures that the communication system by which animals access the shared database of their species, is via vibration and resonance:
Energetic resonance occurs when a system is acted on by an alternating force which coincides with its natural frequency of vibration. Examples include the ‘sympathetic’ vibration of stretched strings in response to appropriate sound waves; the tuning of radio sets to the frequency of radio waves given out by transmitters; the absorption of light waves of particular frequencies by atoms and molecules, resulting in their characteristic absorption spectra; and the response of electrons and atomic nuclei in the presence of magnetic fields to electromagnetic radiation in Electronic Spin Resonance and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. Common to all these types of resonance is the principle of selectivity: out of a mixture of vibrations, however complicated, the systems respond only to those particular frequencies.
A New Science of Life, Rupert Sheldrake, page 98
…Morphic resonance is analogous to energetic resonance in a further respect: it takes place between vibrating systems. Atoms, molecules, crystals, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, and organisms are all made up of parts in ceaseless oscillation, and all have their own characteristic patterns of vibration and internal rhythm; the morphic units are dynamic, not static.
Natural frequency, also known as eigenfrequency, is the frequency at which a system tends to oscillate in the absence of any driving force.
Resonance occurs in sound, in tides, in timekeeping mechanisms… Wikipedia gives a good explanation with swings as the example:
A familiar example is a playground swing, which acts as a pendulum. Pushing a person in a swing in time with the natural interval of the swing (its resonant frequency) makes the swing go higher and higher (maximum amplitude), while attempts to push the swing at a faster or slower tempo produce smaller arcs. This is because the energy the swing absorbs is maximized when the pushes match the swing’s natural oscillations.
Everything vibrates. Even our planet does, and it is known as the Schumann resonance – so maybe Earth is communicating with a twin somewhere else in the universe…
Information communicating via vibrations and resonance is a good fit for some “god” concepts, if “god” is nature itself.
DNA is not only the operating manual of our bodies, it is also, essentially, our fingerprint or signature. It could be used as call sign. DNA of course vibrates. Studies have so far tried, and failed, to find a relationship between aspects of DNA and their vibrational frequency, although of course its length has been considered.
Possibly length and content of DNA determines its frequency, in which case every species will have a different frequency, and members of a species are able to tune in with each other, even if they individually have slightly different DNA – just like you can turn a radio dial slightly but still receive the same station.
Possibly signals weaken over distance, so whatever happens on a far-away habitable planet would barely affect us, if at all.
Here’s a crazy little side idea… if morphic resonance is a critical aspect of life, and it is accessed via our unique DNA frequencies, then regardless of the form of transmission and any mediums involved, there are a limited number of frequencies available. In that case, there is possibly a limit to the number of species that can occur in one location like a planet. Given that there are millions of low-order species like insects on Earth, and relatively few high-order species like mammals, then possibly there is a relationship to the size/complexity of DNA and how much of the spectrum it takes up. If that were the case, nature and humans combined have created plenty of spectrum vacancies via extinctions recently, and we might just need a disaster to create a suitable environment for new species to emerge in their place. For example, the famously extinct trilobites may have been replaced by the unrelated but highly similar ceratoserolis.
I would suggest that two species who cross their wires, frequency-wise, would both suffer greatly until the demise of one of the other. In other words, the new one wouldn’t last long in stable times. Typically the new species barely gets out of the starting blocks.
If morphic resonance does exist, then it is not something we have found physical evidence for. That means it is either something in our current three dimensions that we are unable to measure, or it exists in another physical dimension (or which our three dimensions are a subset – it can see us, we cannot see it). Either way, the obvious medium is dark matter and dark energy, both of which we know are there, but we cannot detect.
Personally I am keen on a 4th physical dimension that basically contains a lot of the remaining mysteries of our world, like UFOs, psychic phenomena, dark matter, instinct, hive minds, DMT beings and god. They could all be there, operating and connecting with us, but unseeable, just like someone in Flatland cannot see in 3D. Although possibly some drugs give us, not the ability to see the 4D world, but a bridge for 4D beings and data to reach us by.
Dark matter is also a good candidate for the old idea of the Akashic Records:
a compendium of all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present, or future in terms of all entities and life forms, not just human. They are believed by theosophists to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the mental plane. Because it is believed that the records are encoded vibrationally into the inherent fabric of space, some have likened the mechanism as similar to how holograms are created
Wikipedia
The Akashic Records may have just been a convenient explanation for where mystics and psychics got their information from, when talking about Atlantis and Lemuria. However, prior to that, and dating back as far as Plato, there has been much interest in the concept of the Aether, a “material that fills the region of the universe beyond the terrestrial sphere”.
God is CB radio. God is TV. God is shortwave.
- God messaging can tell baby cuckoos where to fly and eels or salmon where to swim.
- It tells our body’s repair systems which genetic mutations to fix, and which to take a chance with.
- It can provide the information for herd decisions regarding population size or however ants make group decisions.
- It doesn’t affect humans much in our external actions because we are “too highly evolved”. We make our own decisions and have mostly forgotten how to tune in to the god channel. But some use it still, like some of our healers and psychics and religious folk.
Human religion is probably grounded in receiving the god channel, but perhaps misunderstanding the message, aside from that a higher power is communicating.
Drugs help humans tap into the god channel, and extract information consciously.
For DMT trips, the question is this: the beings we meet, are they an avatar that makes accessing the information easier and more understandable for us? Or are they actual other beings? For the latter I propose two candidates.
- When we die our essence is stored in the God channel. In DMT we communicate with what are essentially spirits, who let us know that life is kind of eternal, and guide us in our mortal life
- They are our alien twins, who have managed to consciously reach out across the universe to talk to us, because they are on the same frequency as us.
Drugs, and the god channel, is where religion began, and may yet prove to be where religion goes next.
