Chapter 14:

Consciousness Grids: Synergism

in Continuing Human Evolution

CHARLES Darwin came out with his milestone study on the emergence and development of the various species, including the human species, through a long series of natural selection processes where certain species that mutated in forms favorable to survival pushed to extinction those that mutated in disadvan­tageous forms.

Darwin’s study proved useful to the development especially of the biological sciences, putting a logical flow to the remarkable organism classification work of his predecessor by a century, Carolus Linnaeus.  

1. Earlier studies, developments

Subsequent studies have, however, proved Darwin’s Theory of Evolution grossly inadequate, espe­cially as it comes to the subject of Human Evolution. After all, Darwin’s study is limited to the biophysical bodies, and does not even touch the electro-chemical and energy-fields aspects.  It has fallen far short of touching what is now increasingly acknow­ledged as our essence as human beings—embodied Spirit, a spiritual “fingers of the Divine Hand” synergizing with a bio-energetic body to experience reality and with a bio-energetic body to experience the appreciation of the experience, the Human beings mandated to re-member Who We Really Are after we, for the experience of the re-membering, were delibe­rately made to forget.

It is too much to expect Darwin of the 19th century to have come up with that. Consciousness, especially in Europe, was then very primitive when it came to spirituality, especially after powerful religious, deliberately or otherwise, misrepre­sented divisive and disempowering religious dogma and practices for living spirituality.

Early Christians apparently “got it” by focusing their own lives on the essence of the Christ’s teaching, “Love one another as I have loved you,” and the Church of the Catacombs apparently lost that essence when it acquired and embraced worldly power. Still, we can say that church was merely de­toured and spun off protesting churches before it started to correct many of its stances and policies, started to embrace ecumenism, and also started to be open to inter-faith unity.

There will come a time relatively soon, when the world’s religions will be increasingly unified by basic spirituality, for the differences lie in articulations and structures made by the intellectual minds of the persons of authority in the religious organizations.  To be sure, these leaders claim having been given divine inspiration in crafting these dogmas, policies and practi­ces, but just how divine the inspiration can be gleaned from the divisive effects, including self-righteous mass-killlings and cruel persecutions. Real spirituality has only one unmistakable effect – it unites people, it reminds us that in the first place, even as we are incarnated in many physical bodies, we are all one as spirit.

2. ‘Consciousness Grids’ and those experiments

Drunvalo Melchizedeck, who wrote The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life (Vol. 1 published in 1998 by Light Technology Publishing), referred to a “planetary grid” as an etheric crystalline structure, with an electromagnetic component, that envelops the planet and holds the consciousness of any of the species of life forms. “Scientists will eventually discover,” he predicts, “that there's a grid for every single species in the world. If there are just two bugs on the planet, and they're just sitting somewhere in Iowa, they have a grid that stretches around the entire planet, or they couldn't exist. It's just the nature of the game.”

He says each of these grids has its own geometry and is unique; there's not another one like it. Just like the species' body is unique, its point of view of interpreting Reality is also unique.

It was Ken Keyes Jr. and Lyall Warson who wrote their respective books, The Hundredth Monkey and Lifetide: The Biology of the Unconscious, but it was from Melchizedec that I learned about a 30-year scientific research project on the Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata.  He describes the island of Koshima, Japan, as having a wild colony of moneys with scientists giving them sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the sweet potatoes, but not the sand and dirt.

Melchizedec narrates:

“An eighteen-month-old female they named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way, and they taught their mothers, too. Soon, all the young monkeys washed their sweet potatoes, but only the adults who imitated their children learned of this behavior. The scientists recorded these events between 1952 and 1958.

“Then suddenly, in the autumn of 1958, the few monkeys doing this on the island of Koshima reached a critical mass, which Dr. Watson arbitrarily placed at 100, and bingo! -- almost every monkey on the island started washing its potatoes without any further influence. If it had happened only on that one island, they probably would have figured there was some form of com­munication and looked for it. But simultaneously the monkeys on the surrounding islands also started washing their potatoes.  Even on the mainland of Japan in Takasakiyama, the monkeys were washing their potatoes. There was no possible way these monkeys could have communicated by any way we know. It was the first time that scientists had ever observed anything like this.  They postulated that there must have been some kind of morphogenic structure or field that stretched across these islands through which the monkeys were able to communicate.”

From the “Hundredth Monkey” experiment, Melchizedec proceeds to report on another experiment, this time with human subjects. He says a few years (after the sweet potatoes-washing fad among monkeys in Japan, a scientific team from Australia and Britain wondered if humans possessed a grid similar to the monkeys. He continues:

“They did an experiment. They made a photograph that had hundreds of human faces in it, little ones, big ones, and faces in the eyes. Everything was made up of these faces, but when you looked at it, you could see only six or seven. It took training to see the other ones. Usually, someone had to point out where they were.

“These people took their picture to Australia and con­ducted a study there. They selected a certain number of people from a spectrum of the population, and showed each of them the picture, giving them a certain length of time to look at it. They held the photograph up to someone and said, ‘How many faces do you see in this photo?’ During the time the subjects were giv­en, they would generally come up with six, seven, eight, nine or ten faces. Few people gave more.  When they had gotten a few hundred people as their basic sampling and recorded accurately what had been observed, some of the researchers went to England -- on the other side of the planet -- and showed the picture on a closed-cable BBC television station that broadcasts only to England. They carefully showed where all the faces were, every single face. Then a few minutes later other research­ers repeated the original experiment with new subjects in Australia. Suddenly, people could easily see most of the faces.”

From that moment, he says, scientists were certain there was something about humans that had not been known. “The ab­origines in Australia had known about this ‘unknown’ part of us for a long time. They knew that there was an energy field connecting people. Even in our society, we've observed that some­body on one side of the planet would invent something very complex at the same moment that someone on the other side of the Earth invented the same thing, with the same prin­ciples and ideas. Each inventor would say, ‘You stole it from me. It was mine. I did it first.’ This has happened many, many times, stretching back for a long time. So after this Australian experiment, they began to realize that something very definitely connects us all.”

By living his life the way He did, Jesus the Christ built a Christ-consciousness grid operating not in the realm of official dogmas, policies and practices but in deep spiritual consciousness. “Love God above all and your neighbor as yourself,” he said, and we paid some heed, and now, some two thousand years later, the “Christ Consciousness” is gradually sinking into our stubbornly intellectual heads. And from such a growing consciousness of everyone being part of one seamless reality, and loving increasingly consciously that Divine and Almighty Reality of Pure and Unconditional Love, and loving also increasingly consciously one another as mutual extensions of each one within that seamless reality.

3. We Have Come A Long Way

It was with a deeply-felt sense of optimistic certainty when I told the First Lambat-Liwanag Conference on Empowering Paradigms held at the University of Sto. Tomas about two years ago:

“The development of consciousness of the human race has come a long way from the command regimentation that stressed faith and righteous behavior (Old Testament) while downplaying comprehension and free will. We have had more than two thousand years of enhanced free will and the admonition to love one another (message of Christ), where the beginnings of comprehension (physics and other natural sciences) completely sidelined spiritual faith as by then misrepresented by dogmas of divisive religions. Through this period, the use of free will was often leading to disastrous consequences of intolerance and bigotry, oppression and exploit­ation, greed and tyranny.

“And we are now gradually moving into a new period where human consciousness would really blossom in unconditional love and unconditional peace. We will fully be enjoying free will but matured enough, after centuries of experiential education, to freely choose love and synergy over alienation, separation and an­tagonism. Faith will still be there but no longer blind. Individual human dignity will be there but no longer as separative ego. Com­prehension will be there, well beyond present-day conventional physics, but intellectualization will be underpinned by love, honest humility and spiritual discernment. Righteousness will be there in each of us but based on maturity and no longer externally com­manded.

“The conscious synergy of Humankind and of all Creation will emerge, a real and embracive unity, no longer an artificial or exclusive one. That will be the real age of the full Pentecost, where a fast-increasing number of people, not just a dozen apostles, will now feel the tongues of fire lighting up their souls from within, souls that would reach out to embrace one another and draw in more and more people into their informal families.

“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you will join us. And the world will live as one!  But you cannot say that to me in all earnestness. That was meant for the Lennon of those days, not (us) today. We have reason to declare hav­ing joined Lennon in his dream, and that more people are join­ing us, more and more people like us are joining up with the rest.”

PART FOUR: WALKING NUGGETS AND MAGNETS

1. Human Gold

Humans are walking nuggets of gold. Each human per­­son is a very valuable complex and really awesome synergy in itself, and as itself -- body, mind and spirit -- where each one of the three is itself a complex synergy.

The energy comes not only from the oxygen-burning of food stored in our flesh. The energy comes also, if not more, from the very essence of our being, the real us that we call “our souls,” orchestrating in teamwork and harmony our psychic bo­dies and their chakras and energy sources and energy channels, our synergized totality of memories, our individual and collect­ive will. The Human Holon is a very deeply profound whole.

The entire Part Two of this book – Synergies in Person Dimensions – exalts the greatness of the human being. You might want to go back to its chapters, enjoy all the reminders and realizations, the appreciative appreciations old and new, add to them, discover new ones, feel them all as realities within each of us, within you.

You are gloriously great because God is gloriously great, and the both of you is one.

2. Human Magnets

A human is a walking magnet, whose very being vibrates energy in such a manner that influences other humans, and whose thoughts, words, and deeds, especially if these three are consistent, influences tremendously.  Mutual influence creates alignments in the consciousness and builds stronger and stronger bonds among us all.  

“Human magnetism” is like the Earth’s own magnetic field that turns an entire mountainside into another strong magnet if the magma could only stay molten long enough before hardening.  Humans therefore affect one another’s thinking not purely, not even mainly, through intellect­ual discourse, but very much by patterns of thinking and behavior that continuously ripple out strong waves of influence.

Our synergism-oriented SanibLakas Foundation is gathering the “magnetically-aligned” advocates of consciously applying the principle of synergism in human interactions and existence. If you agree with us that conscious application synergism deserves to be such an advocacy to counter increasing divisiveness and disempowerment in the world, you have become a consciously resonating part of this growing magnet.  The alignment is all toward human unity with dynamism in diversity, ready to share all prosperity, and unmistakably embracing together an expanding (nay, exploding) we in the powerful magnetic field  of  magnificent  l o v e ,  as we ponder, appreciate and perform, with open spiritual eyes, our role in the beautiful synergy that is the entire cosmos.

Although human consciousness is generally clouded by free will used in the service of the separative ego, the Human Holon is a great part, no less than a beloved child, of the Great Whole.

We are all strong magnets. And our Grander Synergies that are discussed in Part Three of this book – in nature, in society, in history, in our various communities – are all magnet systems.  They can be consciously developed into much stronger magnets than they are today.

And all these magnet systems together make up the Great Cosmic Synergy, where both the Creator and the Created lovingly fuse as One from the very beginning, now and ever shall be.

3.  Synergism: Path Back to Conscious Oneness

Once liberated from all illusion of separation, humans have the innate capability for consciousness to exalt most fully this Great, Loving and Creating Synergy of All Synergies, and shine out as a part of that Glorious Whole.

But the process doesn’t resemble a picnic trek. Having been made to forget Who We Really Are, we have to actually suffer weakness, helplessness, even desperation, in the face of the many woes and difficulties in earth life, feelings of vulnerability and weakness that comes from our having forgotten how strong we really are in our oneness.  Synergism is the Path back to Conscious Oneness.  

Our experience of appreciation is a taste of resonation, of oneness. Our experiences in actual synergies – in teamwork for effective effort and in harmony for ecstatic beauty – offer us glaring clues about our innate mode of existence, smilingly shouting right before our ever-distracted eyes and ears:

“Go ahead! Enjoy every experience of synergy fully! Prolong it! Linger in it! Do it often! Do it all the time! Get used to it! That is what we all really is— a seamless oneness and gloriously powerful reality of love, peace and joy!  Congratulations! You have experienced the re-membering!”  

We may not get it this clearly very soon. But there can be no harm in starting to enjoy it more and more deeply, and more and more often.

Smile for the synergy of all our smiles,

Happy and proud

To be part of it all!
