The Mystery

Dreams are increasingly viewed by neuroscientists and philosophers as a vital window into the mechanics of human consciousness, often providing a 'simulation' of reality that reveals how the mind constructs experience. While traditionally considered mere subconscious babble, modern research suggests that dreams—especially lucid dreams—are a legitimate form of conscious experience that can hold the key to understanding self-awareness, emotional processing, and the brain's ability to create a 'world-for-me'. The Brain as Creator: Dreaming demonstrates that the brain can generate a rich, immersive, multi-dimensional reality entirely on its own, without external sensory input. This suggests that consciousness is not reliant on the outside world, but is a 'self-sustaining internal activity'. A 'Hybrid' State (Lucid Dreaming): Lucid dreams, where a person becomes aware they are dreaming while in the dream, merge the self-awareness of waking life with the ...

Morphic fields underlie our mental activity and our perceptions, and lead to a new theory of vision. The existence of these fields is experimentally testable through the sense of being stared at itself. There is already much evidence that this sense really exists.  The morphic fields of social groups connect together members of the group even when they are many miles apart, and provide channels of communication through which organisms can stay in touch at a distance. They help provide an explanation for telepathy. There is now good evidence that many species of animals are telepathic, and telepathy seems to be a normal means of animal communication. Telepathy is normal not paranormal, natural not supernatural, and is also common between people, especially people who know each other well. In the modern world, the commonest kind of human telepathy occurs in connection with telephone calls. More than 80% of the population say they have thought of someone for no apparent reason, who th...

From the point of view of the hypothesis of morphic resonance, there is no need to suppose that all the laws of nature sprang into being fully formed at the moment of the Big Bang, like a kind of cosmic Napoleonic code, or that they exist in a metaphysical realm beyond time and space. Before the general acceptance of the Big Bang theory in the 1960s, eternal laws seemed to make sense. The universe itself was thought to be eternal and evolution was confined to the biological realm. But we now live in a radically evolutionary universe. If we want to stick to the idea of natural laws, we could say that as nature itself evolves, the laws of nature also evolve, just as human laws evolve over time. But then how would natural laws be remembered or enforced? The law metaphor is embarrassingly anthropomorphic. Habits are less human-centred. Many kinds of organisms have habits, but only humans have laws. The habits of nature depend on non-local similarity reinforcement. Through morphic resonance...
