I’m pretty sure I’ve posted this before, but it bears a re-post: Morphogenetic Fields Forming the Face of a Frog https://youtu.be/k3Zv9kURzBk?si=HdqdolIT1WESPTWP
I’m pretty confident ‘fields’ are the answer to a lot of life’s biggest questions.

An excellent read: https://ia802905.us.archive.org/5/items/MindAndTissueRayPeat/Mind%20And%20Tissue%20%20Ray%20Peat%20.pdf
INTRODUCTION
By Stanley Krippner, PhD
The importance of contemporary Soviet psychology has
been acknowledged by many authorities. Gardner Murphy
and J.K. Kovach, in the third edition of their book, Historical
Introduction to Modern Psychology, take up this issue.
Speaking of psychology in the U.S.S.R., they
describe "the magnitude of its existing and potential impact
on the entire body of modern psychology...," stressing the
point that "Soviet psychology is not a closed system."

These points are reinforced in Mind and Tissue. Its author,
Ray Peat, has presented a cogent summary of Soviet
psychology, highlighting the contributions it has made to our
understanding of human behavior. Peat traces the
philosophical origins of Soviet psychology as well as the
tradition afforded by Dostoyevski, Tolstoy, and other writers.
The gargantuan contributions of Pavlov are described,
beginning with the differentiation of the "first signal system,"
of sense perception from the "second signal system" of
language. Ray Peat then emphasizes a point often ignored:
Pavlov took the position that the whole organism had to be
the subject of scientific study. Since presumably it is the
whole organism which is conscious, a psychology which
studies isolated behavioral reactions can easily avoid a
confrontation with the issue of consciousness. This was not
true of Pavlov, who advances ideas concerning sleep,
dreaming, hypnosis, and imagery which contributed to our
understanding of human abilities.
Pavlov's successors continue to study brain function,
observing that plasticity is the outstanding property of the
nervous system. This viewpoint is an optimistic one as it
gives parents, educators, and rehabilitationists a chance to
develop those in their care by paying attention to the "latent
reserves" of a child, student, or patient.
The reader of Mind and Tissue will enjoy t…

very interesting... this is the second direction from which the idea of an [[ether]] is making its comeback... the other is the [[mh370]] story where anti-gravity technology is claimed to summon [[zero point energy]] available in the aether...
