So what is hot air and what is real? Time to continue this discussion of some of the flaws and weaknesses of the materialist position which refuses to recognize the soul or multi-dimensional aspects of life. This time we will visit such concepts as the 100th Monkey, herd immunity, and the human collective consciousness.

But first a recognition of the role that memory plays in the foundation of the soul. Any concept of the soul is partially based upon memory. We can freely admit that sometimes the evolutionary process is more successful than others and species tend to evolve upon lines or traits that have been successful in the past. But the materialist needs to be careful here because how is it that a new successful adaptation is continued? Once something happens, it becomes more likely to happen in the future. If it happens twice it becomes even more likely to happen in the future.

I will take a negative example this time instead of a positive one. If you have a blood clot in your leg you become more at risk for having another blood clot in your leg. This is kind of a no brainer, but illustrates the point I’m trying to make. After something happens the first time, there remains a trace of it, a footprint, a pattern or a pathway. This is the basis of memory and replication. A materialist will say that this memory or path is organic and physical as perhaps through the DNA or learned behaviors or the cellular structure itself.

But it has pretty well been established that information or behaviors can be transmitted through non-organic ways that are not completely understood. This is where the materialist argument falls apart. That is why the hundredth monkey effect is such a powerful study and why it is so viciously discredited by some and championed by others.

From Wikipedia:

The hundredth monkey effect is a hypothetical phenomenon in which a new behavior or idea is spread rapidly by unexplained means from one group to all related groups once a critical number of members of one group exhibit the new behavior or acknowledge the new idea. The behavior was said to propagate even to groups that are physically separated and have no apparent means of communicating with each other.^[1]

Since it was first popularized, the effect has been discredited in many cases of research.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} One of the primary factors in the spread of this concept is that many authors quote secondary, tertiary, or post-tertiary sources that have themselves misrepresented the original observations.^[1]

However, while it may not be a true story, the phenomenon and the idea of collective consciousness within the original story can be closely linked to the concepts of herd behavior, in which individuals in a group act collectively without centralized direction, and information cascades, in which an individual is influenced and changes their behavior or opinion based on inferences that they make by observing other people.^[

But the idea of herd immunity is scientifically accepted! The idea of herd immunity is talked about during this season of Covid 19! When will we reach herd immunity or have we already? It is exactly the same thing! The idea of a human collective consciousness is a basic and foundational element of Jungian psychology. These are direct threats to the materialist position. So they must be viciously attacked as well.

Enough of this, let’s get back to memory, the root of the soul. Is memory an energy pattern or is it entirely organic and cellular? Or is it perhaps both? Let’s consider associative thought. One thought connects and links to another thought and links to another thought ad infinitum. What we consider conscious awareness follows established thought patterns that have been successfully used in the past, just think back to any social events and chats with friends that keep repeating the same old material and discussions over and over again. It is even rare to open oneself to new concepts and ways of thinking. We try to recycle what has worked for us in the past and only when that fails do we try something new and different. Only then to we attempt to create new associations. Human thought processes are very similar to computer programing and in a way the mind is an organic computer. But the soul is the collection of all awareness, of all memories and behaviors. It is the total of who we are. It is the awareness of the information which is held in the memories.

What I’m attempting to get at here is that it is the associative energetic framework that holds the cells, the organs, the tissues, and even our very thoughts together in a cohesive way. It is the energetic framework through which awareness and consciousness manifest, not the physical framework which the energetic framework uses and flows through. Those memories may be stored within the cells and DNA, but they are activated and brought into awareness within the energetic framework that contains the entire system. This energetic framework is non-physical, although it might be electrical and magnetic in nature. Without the vital life current there is no life and no awareness. It might even be possible that one day memories may be placed in computers and when activated individual awareness may result. Awareness is the soul, the energetic framework that holds everything together, but it is activated and makes use of the memories. This energetic framework is multi-dimensional. The memories themselves are not aware. They are just data.

One tuning fork that is struck and placed close to another tuning fork may cause that second tuning fork to begin vibrating at the same frequency. This is recognized as valid, but being affected by the emotions of someone that you are sitting next to is not recognized as valid even though a similar principle is involved.

Over and over I can cite different examples in which the materialist picks up on an important aspect of what is happening, but remains absolutely closed to the non-physical aspects and multi-dimensional aspects that are constantly being discovered and rediscovered. Even when they are supported by science! My stance is that life and the soul are multi-dimensional and based upon quantum science, chaos theory and non-linear time. Both life and the soul evolve and go through a birth, death and rebirth process to higher and more complex states of being. The energies that contain the essential patterns are not destroyed, but recycled and appear in a new and higher forms that are more evolved and complex. This energy and the information contained within it cannot be destroyed. The materialist position is simply too restrictive and intolerant.

The only thing the materialist position can do effectively is stand up against the creationist perspective. In many ways it is the pot calling the kettle black! It has no defense against the new theoretical sciences and remains helpless against them.
