Morphic Fields and Friends
-
@LetTheRedeemed asked about this in a different thread, so I thought I'd do a mini guide for morphic fields but also what isn't a morphic field. For now I am posting this in Not Medical Advice for two reasons: this isn't medical advice, though morphic fields can be used that way; and morphic fields deal directly with structure/function.
Morphic fields are sometimes also called morphogenetic fields.
Rupert Sheldrake is probably the best name to check out, see the block quote below for his introductory summary.
First, to prime the pump, I'll briefly detail other techniques used alongside or sometimes mixed up with, but are not, morphic fields. I say "upload" because all the free ones I've found are on youtube.
An upload can have subliminals, which are just what they sound like. These don't tend to work on me for various reasons, but others like them. There is no fancy explanation, it's just words and phrases the creator of the upload chose to use the power of suggestion to change their listeners in some way.
An upload can also have different colored noise. The one we're most familiar with is white noise, which is all hearable frequencies. I've used pink noise to sleep better; pink is deeper sounding. Brown noise is more like a rumbling and I don't like it much. The main idea is how humans react to each kind of noise, as each has their own properties, though there is some disagreement over exact properties and what they can do.
Binaural beats were once much more popular from my experience, that is, two different tones, one in each ear, that synchronize in the brain to create an effect. I don't dabble in this really, and only incidentally use binaural beats if it's in an upload from a creator that also uses other techniques.
According to Sheldrake (source)
The hypothesized properties of morphic fields at all levels of complexity can be summarized as follows: 1. They are self-organizing wholes. 2. They have both a spatial and a temporal aspect, and organize spatio-temporal patterns of vibratory or rhythmic activity. 3. They attract the systems under their influence towards characteristic forms and patterns of activity, whose coming-into-being they organize and whose integrity they maintain. The ends or goals towards which morphic fields attract the systems under their influence are called attractors. The pathways by which systems usually reach these attractors are called chreodes. 4. They interrelate and co-ordinate the morphic units or holons that lie within them, which in turn are wholes organized by morphic fields. Morphic fields contain other morphic fields within them in a nested hierarchy or holarchy. 5. They are structures of probability, and their organizing activity is probabilistic. 6. They contain a built-in memory given by self-resonance with a morphic unit's own past and by morphic resonance with all previous similar systems. This memory is cumulative. The more often particular patterns of activity are repeated, the more habitual they tend to become.An example would be when Ray Peat talked about thyroid producing order in the organism. A sick cell would have a disordered field, but a cell with optimal thyroid would have an orderly morphic field. And then this extends to the organism at large, a greater morphic field around those fields.
So by using a stand-alone field, the user is influencing their own morphic field(s) in some specific way. From something as basic as eye color, to experimental attempts to grow taller by reopening growth plates.
A creator on youtube like Binaural Nutrition! uses many or all of these techniques together depending on the specific upload. He focuses on steroids and other fields such a peptides, recovery fields for lifting, and enhancing masculine traits. Some of his older uploads don't even have the morphic component. He's an interesting case because his followers say even his old uploads without the morphic component work.
So the idea behind using a stand-alone morphic field is to influence what already exists, but this depends on the quality of the field and the state of the organism in terms of results and time frame to see those results.

@NotShanalotte said in Morphic Fields and Friends:
This is very interesting. Thanks for explaining.
There was s thread created in RPF under Frequency Medicine, and I kept putting off going back to it. There was just too much information.
I didn't see this topic there.
Do you think it is appropriate to classify it under Frequency Medicine and create a new section on it?
-
@yerrag Frequencies would be closest to Binaural Beats. The difference is they don't need the brain synchronization.
For now a "Master thread" either here or the Esoteric subsection would be fine and if there's feedback I'll move the topic (esp. form our admin) to the correct section.
Creating a whole new section, if there is enough interest, would be up to Brad. He would have to do and okay it as admin. Plus there'd need to be enough activity beyond a thread to justify a whole subsection. We'll see what happens.

is there a good one to listen to during study / work at the desk? what about to play in a gym, athletic arena?
-
@noodlecat59 Sure, depends on what you're looking for and if you find it. I've used several so if you have something more specific in mind I'll send it your way.
-
@NotShanalotte oh, ok.
-
I see your point, which I agree with.
As we are already a niche forum, it would not make a lot of sense to distract from bioenergetics centered around Ray Peat's ideas. Which is even more relevant against the tide that does all it can to obliterate unifying ideas of life and health.
-
nice. thanks!

Every time I listen to this thyroid wav my heart rate increases and blood flow increases.
Interesting about that binaural nutrition channel as it seems to be pretty peaty in its frame work. With videos like "estrogen Blocker" and "serotonin reducer". Also some funny ones like trenbelone.
