A talk given by the late Michael Crichton (1942-2008) called, “Why Speculate,” on April 26, 2002 at the International Leadership Forum in La Jolla, CA.
“There are two times in a man’s life when he should not
speculate: when he can’t afford it and when he can.” — Mark Twain
My topic for today is the prevalence of speculation in media.
What does it mean? Why has it become so ubiquitous? Should we
do something about it? If so, what? And why? Should we care at
all? Isn’t speculation valuable? Isn’t it natural? And so on.
I will join this speculative trend and speculate about why there
is so much speculation. In keeping with the trend, I will try
to express my views without any factual support, simply providing
you with a series of bald assertions.
This is not my natural style, and it’s going to be a challenge
for me, but I will do my best. Some of you may see that I have
written out my talk, which is already a contradiction of principle.
To keep within the spirit of our time, it should really be off
the top of my head.
Before we begin, I’d like to clarify a definition. By the media
I mean movies, television, Internet, books, newspapers and
magazines. Again, in keeping with the general trend of speculation,
let’s not make too many fine distinctions.
First we might begin by asking, to what degree has the media
turned to pure speculation? Someone could do a study of this and
present facts, but nobody has. I certainly won’t. There’s no
reason to bother. The requirement that you demonstrate a factual
basis for your claim vanished long ago. It went out with the
universal praise for Susan Faludi’s book Backlash, which won the
National Book Critics Circle Award for General Nonfiction in
1991, and which presented hundreds of pages of quasi-statistical
assertions based on a premise that was never demonstrated and
that was almost certainly false.
But that’s old news. I merely refer to it now to set standards.
Today, of course everybody knows that “Hardball,” “Rivera Live”
and similar shows are nothing but a steady stream of guesses
about the future. The Sunday morning talk shows are pure
speculation. They have to be. Everybody knows there’s no news
on Sunday.
But television is entertainment. Let’s look at the so-called
serious media. For example, here is The New York Times for March
6, the day Dick Farson told me I was giving this talk. The column
one story for that day concerns Bush’s tariffs on imported steel.
Now we read: Mr. Bush’s action “is likely to send the price of
steel up sharply, perhaps as much as ten percent…” American
consumers “will ultimately bear” higher prices. America’s allies
“would almost certainly challenge” the decision. Their legal
case “could take years to litigate in Geneva, is likely to hinge”
on thus and such.
Also note the vague and hidden speculation. The Allies’ challenge
would be “setting the stage for a major trade fight with many
of the same countries Mr. Bush is trying to hold together in the
fractious coalition against terrorism.” In other words, the story
speculates that tariffs may rebound against the fight against
terrorism.
By now, under the Faludi Standard I have firmly established that
media are hopelessly riddled with speculation, and we can go on
to consider its ramifications.
You may read this tariff story and think, what’s the big deal?
The story’s not bad. Isn’t it reasonable to talk about effects
of current events in this way? I answer, absolutely not. Such
speculation is a complete waste of time. It’s useless. It’s
bullshit on the front page of the Times.
The reason why it is useless, of course, is that nobody knows
what the future holds.
Do we all agree that nobody knows what the future holds? Or do
I have to prove it to you? I ask this because there are some
well-studied media effects which suggest that simply appearing
in media provides credibility. There was a well-known series of
excellent studies by Stanford researchers that have shown, for
example, that children take media literally. If you show them a
bag of popcorn on a television set and ask them what will happen
if you turn the TV upside down, the children say the popcorn
will fall out of the bag. This result would be amusing if it
were confined to children. But the studies show that no one is
exempt. All human beings are subject to this media effect,
including those of us who think we are self-aware and hip and
knowledgeable.
Media carries with it a credibility that is totally undeserved.
You have all experienced this, in what I call the Murray Gell-Mann
Amnesia effect. (I refer to it by this name because I once
discussed it with Murray Gell-Mann, and by dropping a famous
name I imply greater importance to myself, and to the effect,
than it would otherwise have.)
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You
open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well.
In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the
article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding
of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong
it actually presents the story backward — reversing cause and
effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s
full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple
errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or
international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper
was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you
just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.
That is the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. I’d point out it does not
operate in other arenas of life. In ordinary life, if somebody
consistently exaggerates or lies to you, you soon discount
everything they say. In court, there is the legal doctrine of
falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which means untruthful in one
part, untruthful in all. But when it comes to the media, we
believe against evidence that it is probably worth our time to
read other parts of the paper. When, in fact, it almost certainly
isn’t. The only possible explanation for our behavior is amnesia.
So one problem with speculation is that it piggybacks on the
Gell-Mann effect of unwarranted credibility, making the speculation
look more useful than it is.
Another issue concerns the sheer volume of speculation. Sheer
volume comes to imply a value which is specious. I call this the
There-Must-Be-A-Pony effect, from the old joke in which a kid
comes down Christmas morning, finds the room filled with horseshit,
and claps his hands with delight. His astonished parents ask:
why are you so happy? He says, with this much horseshit, there
must be a pony.
Because we are confronted by speculation at every turn, in print,
on video, on the net, in conversation, we may eventually conclude
that it must have value. But it doesn’t. Because no matter how
many people are speculating, no matter how familiar their faces,
how good their makeup and how well they are lit, no matter how
many weeks they appear before us in person or in columns, it
remains true that none of them knows what the future holds.
Some people secretly believe that the future can be known. They
imagine two groups of people that can know the future, and
therefore should be listened to. The first is pundits. Since
they expound on the future all the time, they must know what
they are talking about. Do they? “Brill’s Content” used to track
the pundit’s guesses, and while one or another had an occasional
winning streak, over the long haul they did no better than chance.
This is what you would expect. Because nobody knows the future.
I want to mention in passing that punditry has undergone a subtle
change over the years. In the old days, commentators such as
Eric Sevareid spent most of their time putting events in a
context, giving a point of view about what had already happened.
Telling what they thought was important or irrelevant in the
events that had already taken place. This is of course a legitimate
function of expertise in every area of human knowledge.
But over the years the punditic thrust has shifted away from
discussing what has happened, to discussing what may happen. And
here the pundits have no benefit of expertise at all. Worse,
they may, like the Sunday politicians, attempt to advance one
or another agenda by predicting its imminent arrival or demise.
This is politicking, not predicting.
The second group that some people imagine may know the future
are specialists of various kinds. They don’t, either. As a
limiting case, I remind you there is a new kind of specialist
occupation — I refuse to call it a discipline, or a field of
study — called futurism. The notion here is that there is a way
to study trends and know what the future holds. That would indeed
be valuable, if it were possible. But it isn’t possible. Futurists
don’t know any more about the future than you or I. Read their
magazines from a couple of years ago and you’ll see an endless
parade of error.
Expertise is no shield against failure to see ahead. That’s why
it was Thomas Watson, head of IBM, who predicted the world only
needed 4 or 5 computers. That is about as wrong a prediction as
it is possible to make, by a man who had every reason to be
informed about what he was talking about. Not only did he fail
to anticipate a trend, or a technology, he failed to understand
the myriad uses to which a general purpose machine might be put.
Similarly, Paul Erlich, a brilliant academic who has devoted his
entire life to ecological issues, has been wrong in nearly all
his major predictions.
He was wrong about diminishing resources, he was wrong about the
population explosion, and he was wrong that we would lose 50%
of all species by the year 2000. He devoted his life to intensely
felt issues, yet he has been spectacularly wrong.
All right, you may say, you’ll accept that the future can’t be
known, in the way I am talking. But what about more immediate
matters, such as the effects of pending legislation? Surely it
is important to talk about what will happen if certain legislation
passes. Well, no, it isn’t. Nobody knows what is going to happen
when the legislation passes. I give you two examples, one from
the left and one from the right.
The first is the Clinton welfare reform, harshly criticized by
his own left wing for caving in to the Republican agenda. The
left’s predictions were for vast human suffering, shivering cold,
child abuse, terrible outcomes. What happened? None of these
things. Child abuse declined. In fact, as government reforms go,
its been a success; but Mother Jones still predicts dire effects
just ahead.
This failure to predict the effects of a program was mirrored
by the hysterical cries from the Republican right over raising
the minimum wage. Chaos and dark days would surely follow as
businesses closed their doors and the country was plunged into
needless recession. But what was the actual effect? Basically,
nothing. Who discusses it now? Nobody. What will happen if there
is an attempt to raise the minimum wage again? The same dire
predictions all over again. Have we learned anything? No.
But my point is, for pending legislation as with everything else,
nobody knows the future.
The same thing is true concerning the effect of elections and
appointments. What will be the effect of electing a certain
president, or a supreme court justice? Nobody knows. Some of you
are old enough to remember Art Buchwald’s famous column from the
days of the Johnson Administration. Buchwald wrote a “Thank God
we don’t have Barry Goldwater” essay, recalling how everyone
feared Goldwater would get us into a major war. So we elected
Johnson, who promptly committed 200,000 troops to Vietnam. That’s
what happens when you choose the dove-ish candidate. You get a
war. Or, you elect the intellectually brilliant Jimmy Carter,
and watch as he ends up personally deciding who gets to use the
White House tennis courts. Or you elect Richard Nixon because
he can pull the plug on Vietnam, and he continues to fight for
years. And then opens China.
Similarly, the history of the Supreme Court appointments is a
litany of error in predicting how justices will vote once on the
court. They don’t all surprise us, but a lot of them do.
So, in terms of imminent events, can we predict anything at all?
No. You need only look at what was said days before the Berlin
Wall came down, to see nobody can predict even a few hours ahead.
People said all sorts of silly things about the Communist empire
just hours before its collapse. I can’t quote them, because that
would mean I had looked them up and had facts at hand, and I
have promised you not to do that. But take my word for it, you
can find silly statements 24 hours in advance.
NOBODY KNOWS THE FUTURE.
Now, this is not new information. It was Mark Twain who said,
“I’ve seen a heap of trouble in my life, and most of it never
came to pass.”
And much of what politicians say is not so much a prediction as
an attempt to make it come true. It’s argument disguised as
analysis. But it doesn’t really persuade anybody. Because most
people can see through it.
If speculation is worthless, why is there so much of it? Is it
because people want it? I don’t think so. I myself speculate
that media has turned to speculation for media’s own reasons.
So now let’s consider the advantages of speculation from a media
standpoint.
1. It’s incredibly cheap. Talk is cheap. And speculation shows
are the cheapest thing you can put on television, They’re
almost as cheap as running a test pattern. Speculation
requires no research, no big staff. Minimal set. Just get
the talking host, book the talking guests — of which there
is no shortage — and you’re done! Instant show. No reporters
in different cities around the world, no film crews on
location. No deadlines, no footage to edit, no editors…nothing!
Just talk. Cheap.
2. You can’t lose. Even though the speculation is correct only
by chance, which means you are wrong at least 50% of the
time, nobody remembers and therefore nobody cares. You are
never accountable. The audience does not remember yesterday,
let alone last week, or last month. Media exists in the
eternal now, this minute, this crisis, this talking head,
this column, this speculation.
One of the clearest proofs of this is the Currents of Death
controversy. It originated with the New Yorker, which has been
a gushing fountainhead of erroneous scientific speculation for
fifty years. But my point is this: many of the people who ten
years ago were frantic to measure dangerous electromagnetic
radiation in their houses now spend thousands of dollars buying
magnets to attach to their wrists and ankles, because of the
putative healthful effects of magnetic fields. These people don’t
remember these are the same magnetic fields they formerly wanted
to avoid. And since they don’t remember, as a speculator on
media, you can’t lose.
Let me expand on this idea that you can’t lose. It’s not confined
to the media. Most areas of intellectual life have discovered
the virtues of speculation, and have embraced them wildly. In
academia, speculation is usually dignified as theory. It’s
fascinating that even though the intellectual stance of the pomo
deconstructionist era is against theory, particularly overarching
theory, in reality what every academic wants to express is theory.
This is in part aping science, but it’s also an escape hatch.
Your close textual reading of Jane Austen could well be found
wrong, and could be shown to be wrong by a more knowledgeable
antagonist. But your theory of radical feminization and authoritarian
revolt in the work of Jane Austen is untouchable. Your view of
the origins of the First World War could be debated by other
authorities more meticulous than you. But your New Historicist
essay, which might include your own fantasy about what it would
be like if you were a soldier during the first war… well,
that’s just unarguable.
A wonderful area for speculative academic work is the unknowable.
These days religious subjects are in disfavor, but there are
still plenty of good topics. The nature of consciousness, the
workings of the brain, the origin of aggression, the origin of
language, the origin of life on earth, SETI and life on other
worlds… this is all great stuff. Wonderful stuff. You can
argue it interminably. But it can’t be contradicted, because
nobody knows the answer to any of these topics — and probably,
nobody ever will.
But that’s not the only strategy one can employ. Because the
media-educated public ignores and forgets past claims, these
days even authors who present hard data are undamaged when the
data is proven wrong. One of the most consistently wrong thinkers
of recent years, Carol Gilligan of Harvard, once MS Magazine’s
Scientist of the Year, has had to retract (or modify) much of
what she has ever written. Yet her reputation as a profound
thinker and important investigator continues undiminished. You
don’t have to be right, any more. Nobody remembers.
Then there is the speculative work of anthropologists like Helen
Fisher, who claim to tell us about the origins of love or of
infidelity or cooperation by reference to other societies, animal
behavior, and the fossil record. How can she be wrong? It’s
untestable, unprovable, just so stories.
And lest anyone imagine things are different in the hard sciences,
consider string theory, for nearly twenty years now the dominant
physical theory. More than one generation of physicists has
labored over string theory. But — if I understand it correctly,
and I may not — string theory cannot be tested or proven or
disproven. Although some physicists are distressed by the argument
that an untestable theory is nevertheless scientific, who is
going to object, really? Face it, an untestable theory is ideal!
Your career is secure!
In short, the understanding that so long as you speculate, you
can’t lose is widespread. And it is perfect for the information
age, which promises a cornucopia of knowledge, but delivers a
cornucopia of snake oil.
Now, nowhere is it written that the media need be accurate, or
useful. They haven’t been for most or recorded history. So, now
they’re speculating… so what? What is wrong with it?
1. Tendency to excess. The fact that it’s only talk makes drama
and spectacle unlikely — unless the talk becomes heated and
excessive. So it becomes excessive. Not every show features
the Crossfire-style food fight, but it is a tendency on all
shows.
2. “Crisisization” of everything possible. Most speculation is
not compelling because most events are not compelling–Gosh,
I wonder what will happen to the German Mark? Are they going
to get their labor problems under control? This promotes the
well-known media need for a crisis. Crisis in the German
mark! Uh-oh! Look out! Crises unite the country, draw viewers
in large numbers, and give something to speculate about.
Without a crisis, the talk soon degenerates into debate about
whether the refs should have used instant replay on that
last football game. So there is a tendency to hype urgency
and importance and be-there-now when such reactions are
really not appropriate. Witness the interminable scroll at
the bottom of the screen about the Queen Mother’s funeral.
Whatever the Queen mother’s story may be, it is not a crisis.
I even watched a scroll of my own divorce roll by for a
couple of days on CNN. It’s sort of flattering, even though
they got it wrong. But my divorce is surely not vital breaking
news.
3. Superficiality as a norm. Gotta go fast. Hit the high points.
Speculation adds to the superficiality. That’s it, don’t you
think?
4. Endless presentation of uncertainty and conflict may interfere
with resolution of issues. There is some evidence that the
television food fights not only don’t represent the views
of most people — who are not so polarized — but they may
tend to make resolution of actual disputes more difficult
in the real world. At the very least, these food fights
obscure the recognition that disputes are resolved every
day. Compromise is much easier from relatively central
positions than it is from extreme and hostile, conflicting
positions: Greenpeace Spikers vs the Logging Industry.
5. The interminable chains of speculation paves the way to
litigation about breast implants, hysteria over Y2K and
global warming, articles in The New Yorker about currents
of death, and a variety of other results that are not, by
any thoughtful view, good things to happen. There comes to
be a perception — convenient to the media — that nothing
is, in the end, knowable for sure. When in fact, that’s not
true.
Let me point to a demonstrable bad effect of the assumption that
nothing is really knowable. Whole word reading was introduced
by the education schools of the country without, to my knowledge,
any testing of the efficacy of the new method. It was simply put
in place. Generations of teachers were indoctrinated in its
methods. As a result, the US has one of the highest illiteracy
rates in the industrialized world. The assumption that nothing
can be known with certainty does have terrible consequences.
As GK Chesterton said (in a somewhat different context), “If you
believe in nothing you’ll believe in anything.” That’s what we
see today. People believe in anything.
But just in terms of the general emotional tenor of life, I often
think people are nervous, jittery in this media climate of what
if, what if, maybe, perhaps, could be — when there is simply
no reason to feel nervous. Like a bearded nut in robes on the
sidewalk proclaiming the end of the world is near, the media is
just doing what makes it feel good, not reporting hard facts.
We need to start seeing the media as a bearded nut on the sidewalk,
shouting out false fears. It’s not sensible to listen to it.
We need to start remembering that everybody who said that Y2K
wasn’t a real problem was either shouted down, or kept off the
air. The same thing is true now of issues like species extinction
and global warming. You never hear anyone say it’s not a crisis.
I won’t go into it, because it might lead to the use of facts,
but I’ll just mention two reports I speculate you haven’t heard
about. The first is the report in Science magazine January 18
2001 (Oops! a fact) that contrary to prior studies, the Antarctic
ice pack is increasing, not decreasing, and that this increase
means we are finally seeing an end to the shrinking of the pack
that has been going on for thousands of years, ever since the
Holocene era. I don’t know which is more surprising, the statement
that it’s increasing, or the statement that its shrinkage has
preceded global warming by thousands of years.
The second study is a National Academy of Sciences report on the
economic effects to the US economy of the last El Nino warming
event of 1997. That warming produced a net benefit of 15 billion
dollars to the economy. That’s taking into account 1.5 billion
loss in California from rain, which was offset by decreased fuel
bills for a milder winter, and a longer growing season. Net
result 15 billion in increased productivity.
The other thing I will mention to you is that during the last
100 years, while the average temperature on the globe has increased
just .3 C, the magnetic field of the earth declined by 10%. This
is a much larger effect than global warming and potentially far
more serious to life on this planet. Our magnetic field is what
keeps the atmosphere in place. It is what deflects lethal radiation
from space. A reduction of the earth’s magnetic field by ten
percent is extremely worrisome.
But who is worried? Nobody. Who is raising a call to action?
Nobody. Why not? Because there is nothing to be done. How this
may relate to global warming I leave for you to speculate on
your own time.
Personally, I think we need to start turning away from media,
and the data shows that we are, at least from television news.
I find that whenever I lack exposure to media I am much happier,
and my life feels fresher.
In closing, I’d remind you that while there are some things we
cannot know for sure, there are many things that can be resolved,
and indeed are resolved. Not by speculation, however. By careful
investigation, by rigorous statistical analysis. Since we’re
awash in this contemporary ocean of speculation, we forget that
things can be known with certainty, and that we need not live
in a fearful world of interminable unsupported opinion. But the
gulf that separates hard fact from speculation is by now so
unfamiliar that most people can’t comprehend it. I can perhaps
make it clear by this story:
On a plane to Europe, I am seated next to a guy who is very
unhappy. Turns out he is a doctor who has been engaged in a
two-year double blind study of drug efficacy for the FDA, and
it may be tossed out the window. Now a double-blind study means
there are four separate research teams, each having no contact
with any other team — preferably, they’re at different universities,
in different parts of the country. The first team defines the
study and makes up the medications, the real meds and the controls.
The second team administers the medications to the patients. The
third team comes in at the end and independently assesses the
effect of the medications on each patient. The fourth team takes
the data and does a statistical analysis. The cost of this kind
of study, as you might imagine, is millions of dollars. And the
teams must never meet.
My guy is unhappy because months after the study is over, he in
the waiting room of Frankfurt airport and he strikes up a
conversation with another man in the lounge, and they discover
— to their horror — that they are both involved in the study.
My guy was on the team that administered the meds. The other guy
is on the team doing the statistics. There isn’t any reason why
one should influence the other at this late date, but nevertheless
the protocol requires that team members never meet. So now my
guy is waiting to hear if the FDA will throw out the entire
study, because of this chance meeting in Frankfurt airport.
Those are the lengths you have to go to if you want to be certain
that your information is correct. But when I tell people this
story, they just stare at me incomprehendingly. They find it
absurd. They don’t think it’s necessary to do all that. They
think it’s overkill. They live in the world of MSNBC and The New
York Times. And they’ve forgotten what real, reliable information
is, and the lengths you have to go to get it. It’s so much harder
than just speculating.
And on that point, I have to agree with them.
Thank you very much.

Have you ever experienced a state of being completely absorbed in an activity, losing track of time, and feeling a sense of effortless focus and enjoyment?
This is known as the flow state, also referred to as being in the zone.
It is characterized by a deep sense of enjoyment, effortless concentration, and a loss of self-consciousness. Individuals experience a heightened sense of performance and productivity, as well as a distortion of time, where hours can feel like minutes.
When we are in a flow state, our brains release neurotransmitters that create a sense of pleasure, motivation, and creativity.
This state has been studied extensively by psychologists and neuroscientists, who have found that it has numerous benefits, including increased productivity, enhanced learning, and improved well-being.
The concept of the flow state was first introduced by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in the 1970s. He described it as a state of effortless concentration and enjoyment that leads to enhanced performance and a sense of fulfillment.
Csikszentmihalyi studied various individuals, from artists to athletes, and found that they often described this state as a peak experience where they felt their best and performed at their highest level.
He discovered that flow occurs when there is a perfect balance between the challenge level of the task at hand and an individual’s skill level. When the challenge is too low, individuals may experience boredom, while excessive challenges can lead to anxiety and frustration.
Flow is achieved when there is an ideal harmony between the two.
This makes sense given the fact that in biology, balance and harmony within the human body are crucial for our health as the overall optimal being and functioning of various physiological systems.
Achieving balance and harmony involves maintaining equilibrium between different bodily processes, such as physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects.
The benefits of entering the flow state are numerous.
Not only does it enhance performance and productivity, but it also promotes a sense of well-being and happiness. When in the flow state, individuals are fully present and focused, which can lead to a sense of mastery and accomplishment.
It can also enhance creativity and innovation, as individuals are able to tap into their full potential.
It’s important to note that the flow state is not a constant state of being, but rather a transient experience that can be cultivated and nurtured. By recognizing the common characteristics and indicators, you can begin to understand how to enter and sustain this state more frequently.
With practice, you can unlock the potential of the flow state and tap into your highest levels of performance, creativity, and fulfillment.
Author Jamie Wheal, explains that, “Flow is meditation in action, or meditation in motion. It requires real-time decision making and is a powerful tool for peak performance.
He believes flow is achieved through an altered state of consciousness that leads to cognisized peak performance. It can be both a state and a stage of development, leading to integration and a permanent state of flow.
Wheal says, “Technology can be training wheels for accessing flow states, but the fundamental tools of breath control, meditation, and body movement are still important. Breathing practices can radically shift your consciousness and help you achieve different states of flow.”
He states that exposure to the natural world, such as spending time in forests or near water, can induce awe and create a state of flow. He believes the big mountains and blue oceans are perfect mediums for humans to hack this process
How to Find Your Flow
The flow state is characterized by several key elements.
Attentional Focus: In flow, individuals are fully absorbed in the task at hand, with their complete attention directed towards it. They are not easily distracted by external factors.
Positive Mind Set: Cultivating a positive mindset and managing self-doubt is crucial. Negative thoughts and self-criticism can be major barriers to achieving flow. Practice self-compassion and remind yourself that it’s natural to face challenges and setbacks.
By reframing obstacles as opportunities for growth and learning, you can shift your mindset and enter the flow state with greater ease.
Challenge-Skill Balance: Flow occurs when the level of challenge presented by the activity matches an individual’s skill level. This applies to most creative, intellectual and physical activities that test and expand upon your skills.
The task should be neither too easy nor too difficult, but just right to engage their abilities.
Creative Pursuits: Creative pursuits are another fruitful avenue for finding flow. Painting, writing, playing a musical instrument, or even engaging in crafts or DIY projects can all provide a sense of immersion and concentration that can lead to flow.
The act of creating something from scratch, with a clear goal in mind, can help you enter a state of flow where time seems to fly by and distractions fade away.
Physical Activities: Whether it’s running, dancing, playing basketball, or practicing yoga, engaging in physical movement can help you enter a state of flow by challenging your body and mind simultaneously.
The repetitive nature of certain activities, like swimming laps or cycling, can also help to quiet the mind and create a sense of flow.
Intellectual Challenges: For those who enjoy intellectual challenges, activities like solving puzzles, playing chess, or engaging in complex board games can be excellent avenues for finding flow.
These activities often require intense focus, strategic thinking, and problem-solving, which can lead to a state of deep concentration and engagement.
Clear Goals: Flow is more likely to occur when the activity has clear goals or objectives. Having a sense of direction and purpose helps to direct attention and maintain focus.
Immediate Feedback: Flow is facilitated by activities that provide immediate and clear feedback. Feedback helps individuals gauge their progress and adjust their actions accordingly.
Sense of Control: Flow is more likely to occur when individuals feel a sense of control over the activity. They perceive themselves as capable of influencing the outcome and have a sense of agency.
Timelessness: When in flow, individuals often lose track of time. They become so engrossed in the activity that hours can pass by without their awareness.
Peace and Calm: Flow is associated with a sense of calm and peace. Individuals experience a reduction in self-consciousness and anxiety, allowing them to fully focus on the task without distractions.
Intrinsic Motivation: Flow is often experienced when individuals engage in activities that are inherently rewarding and enjoyable. The activity itself becomes its own motivation, independent of external rewards.
Disconnect from Physical Needs: In flow, individuals may temporarily forget about physical needs such as hunger, thirst, or fatigue. They are fully immersed in the activity and may neglect bodily sensations.
Single-Mindedness: Flow requires undivided attention and concentration. Multitasking is incompatible with the flow state, as it requires complete focus on a single task.
Benefits of Flow State
The flow state offers numerous benefits for individuals’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Some of the key benefits include:
Increased Productivity: Flow enhances performance and productivity by enabling individuals to fully engage their skills and abilities. They can accomplish tasks more efficiently and effectively while using less energy.
Heightened Satisfaction: Being in flow is associated with a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. Individuals derive intrinsic enjoyment and gratification from the activity itself, leading to a greater sense of well-being.
Improved Emotional Regulation: Flow helps reduce stress, anxiety, and negative emotions. The state of deep focus and absorption in the task at hand promotes emotional regulation and a sense of calm.
Enhanced Learning and Creativity: Flow facilitates learning and creativity by promoting deep engagement and concentration. It improves information processing, problem-solving abilities, and the generation of novel ideas.
Positive Well-Being: Flow contributes to overall well-being by promoting positive emotions, a sense of accomplishment, and a balanced state of mind. It can lead to increased self-confidence, self-esteem, and a more positive outlook on life.
Achieving Flow State
While flow can occur spontaneously, there are strategies that can help individuals enter and sustain the flow state more consistently. Here are some tips to achieve flow:
Set Clear Goals: Clearly define the goals and objectives of the task or activity. Having a clear direction helps to focus attention and create a sense of purpose.
Find the Right Challenge: Engage in activities that provide an optimal level of challenge. The task should be challenging enough to require concentration and effort, but not so difficult as to cause frustration or overwhelm.
Eliminate Distractions: Minimize distractions and create an environment conducive to focus. Turn off notifications, find a quiet space, and remove any potential interruptions.
Create a Ritual: Establish a pre-flow ritual that signals to your brain that it’s time to enter a focused state. This could involve setting up your workspace, listening to specific music, or engaging in a brief mindfulness practice.
Engage in Intrinsic Motivation: Choose activities that you genuinely enjoy and find rewarding. Find ways to make the activity itself engaging and meaningful, rather than solely focusing on external rewards or outcomes.
Practice Mindfulness: Cultivate mindfulness and present-moment awareness. Pay attention to the task at hand without judgment or distraction, fully immersing yourself in the experience.
Take Care of Yourself: Ensure that your physical and mental well-being is taken care of. Stay hydrated, get enough rest, and engage in self-care practices that support your overall well-being.
Embrace Flow Opportunities: Seek out activities and tasks that have the potential to induce flow. Explore hobbies, sports, or creative pursuits that align with your interests and provide opportunities for deep engagement.
The Science of Flow
Research has shown that individuals who frequently experience flow are more likely to experience overall life satisfaction and a sense of fulfillment. By regularly immersing themselves in activities that bring about flow, individuals can cultivate a sense of purpose and find joy in their pursuits.
As I mentioned above, this is achieved through balance. Understanding the concept of balance and harmony between the human body and the mind are crucial when it comes to achieving the flow state and optimal health.
Our bodies are intricate systems with various interconnected components, and maintaining a state of balance is essential for overall well-being. Harmony within the body involves the seamless coordination and synchronization of different systems and organs.
When all the systems work together harmoniously, they support each other’s functions and contribute to the overall health and vitality of the body.
To better understand balance and harmony, one must consider the interplay of factors such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and emotional well-being. These elements are interconnected and can significantly impact our overall health.
The interconnectedness of body systems extends beyond these examples, with each system relying on and influencing others in a complex network.
The nervous system controls and coordinates the functions of all body systems, while the endocrine system regulates hormones that impact various physiological processes. The musculoskeletal system supports movement and provides structure, while the integumentary system serves as a protective barrier for the body.
Balance refers to the equilibrium between different bodily functions, including physical, mental, and emotional aspects. When these components are in balance, the body functions optimally, allowing us to feel our best.
In physical fitness, particularly in preventing falls and injuries, especially as we age. The ability to maintain balance relies on the integration of sensory information from the inner ear, somatosensory system, and vision.
The brain processes this information to plan and execute movements effectively. Staying mentally active is crucial for maintaining balance as cognitive function is closely linked to balance control.
On a neurological level, the flow state is associated with various changes in the brain. During flow, the prefrontal cortex, responsible for self-consciousness and the inner critic, becomes less active.
This allows individuals to fully immerse themselves in the present moment without self-doubt or judgment hindering their performance.
At the same time, the brain releases a surge of neurochemicals, including dopamine, endorphins, and norepinephrine, which contribute to feelings of pleasure, heightened focus, and a sense of euphoria.
Gnostic Warrior Conclusion
Embracing the flow state as a pathway to fulfillment and personal growth can truly transform your life. From increased focus and productivity to enhanced creativity and happiness, entering the flow state allows you to tap into your full potential.
Understanding the underlying psychology and neuroscience of flow can have profound implications for personal and professional growth.
Achieving optimal flow requires a balanced and harmonious approach. Our bodies function best when all components are in sync, including our diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management.
Balance helps us maintain physical, mental, and emotional well-being, preventing issues like stress, poor nutrition, and inactivity. Harmony integrates our thoughts, emotions, and actions, fostering resilience and a sense of wholeness.
Practices like mindfulness, meditation, exercise, self-care, creativity and completing difficult tasks enhance this harmony.
By immersing yourself in activities that challenge and engage you, you can enter this state of optimal human performance, i.e. flow.
Whether it’s pursuing a passion, engaging in a hobby, or even finding flow in your daily work, the key is to find activities that align with your skills and interests, while maintaining a healthy balance between all other physiological and mental processes.
But remember that the flow state is not just about achieving success or reaching goals; it’s about finding joy and deep satisfaction in the process. Hence, it is being fully present in the moment, losing track of time, and experiencing a sense of complete immersion in what you’re doing.
By consistently seeking out and embracing this heightened mental and spiritual state of being, you can unlock new levels of personal growth and fulfillment.
It is through this state of flow that you can push your boundaries, overcome challenges, and live a harmonious and fulfilled life.

“Now, God made the world for the sake of beings who were to be, as it were, co-workers with him in the creation of life.” – Plato
The ancient Greek philosopher, Plato had a profound understanding of the secret nature of reality, which he expressed in some of his most influential works such as “Timeaus.” It provides a unique perspective on the role of what he calls “the Craftsman”, also referred to as the “Demiurge” who possesses remarkable artistry and skill in shaping and creating the world.
Plato’s ideas of the demiurge take center stage as the creator responsible for shaping the physical realm we inhabit with purposeful intent.
This departure from traditional theological concepts of fate and hope challenges established notions of a supreme being that not only governs the universe, but every person’s consciousness. Unlike traditional religious beliefs attributing creation to a divine intelligence or a personal ruler, this perspective rejects the notion of creation as a purely metaphysical or abstract process undertaken by an all-powerful deity.
Another crucial aspect of his depiction of the Craftsman was the notion of purposeful creation.
Instead, Plato emphasizes the role of manual labor, skill, artistry, and purposeful creation as the driving forces behind the physical world. This perspective encourages us to reflect on the inherent order and harmony found within nature and the intricate interconnections between various elements of the cosmos and between all things – including human beings.
These ideas raise questions about the purpose and intention behind our existence and the role of the creator in shaping our minds and reality. As we delve deeper into Plato’s philosophy, we begin to question our preconceptions about what we know about the world and the nations and cultures we inhabit were truly created.
The Craftsman (Demiurge,” dêmiourgos, 28a6) is central to Plato’s philosophy in a dialogue between Socrates, Timaeus, Critias, and Hermocrates, in which they discuss various topics related to the nature of the universe. Timaeus, the main speaker in the dialogue, is a Pythagorean philosopher who argues that the Craftsman was both the creator and the ruler of the universe, responsible for the ongoing maintenance and perfection of all things.
The idea of the Craftsman is Plato’s explanation of Orphic mysteries with the God known as Theogonies Phanes – Zeus, the primordial God of creation who builds the world out of elemental or primordial matter. This concept has been very influential in philosophy, theology, science, and Freemasonry over the last two thousand-plus years.
For example, in the Abrahamic religions, God is the supreme deity who made the world and he guided human destiny and the idea of the Craftsman would align with Masonic concept of The Grand Architect of the Universe (T.G.A.O.T.U.).
Plato’s Craftsman also encompasses a wide range of scientific, metaphysical and epistemological ideas, all intricately intertwined within a concept he calls “Forms or Ideas.” This concept posits that the material world we perceive is but a mere reflection or imperfect copy of higher, eternal, and perfect forms.
These forms, according to Plato, exist in a transcendent realm beyond our physical reality.
His understanding of the Craftsman is deeply rooted in his metaphysics, which states that the world is made up of two distinct realms: the realm of Forms and the realm of the material world. Plato presents a cosmological account of the origin of the world with the Demiurge depicted as a skilled craftsman or artisan who utilizes pre-existing material and imitates the eternal Forms to shape the physical realm.
The realm of Forms is the realm of abstract concepts, such as beauty, justice, and goodness. The material world, on the other hand, is the world of physical objects that we can see, touch, and experience.
For Plato, the Craftsman was responsible for bridging the gap between these two realms.
Through the act of creation, the Craftsman brought the Forms into the material world, giving them shape and substance. This process of creation was not a one-time event but was continually shaping and perfecting the universe.
According to Plato, the Craftsman began by creating the world soul, which he describes as “the most divine and the most comprehensive of all things” (Timeaus 30b). The world soul is the animating force that gives life to the universe, providing the necessary energy for all things to exist and thrive.
As I have explained in previous essays, Plato’s world soul can be compared to the Freemasonic concept of The Grand Architect of the Universe and the All Seeing Eye. In the Abrahamic religions, we find this concept in the Eye of Providence and Heaven and in science as the Noosphere.
Plato argues that we can bring goodness and order to the world by shaping our lives to reflect the good because chaos is disturbing both physically and spiritually, It confuses our sense of the rightness and order of things.
Once the world soul was created, the Craftsman began to shape the physical world, starting with the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. These elements were not created ex nihilo but were instead formed from the preexisting chaos that existed before the universe was created.
The Craftsman then combined these elements to create the physical world, including the stars, planets, and all living things. The process of creation was not haphazard but followed a divine plan that was preordained.
He explains that the Craftsman/Demiurge used the four elements – fire, air, water, and earth – to create the world. Using the principles of proportion and harmony to create a universe that is ordered and beautiful. Timaeus explains:
“Now, in dealing with the universe, he mixed the unintelligible with the intelligible, and the result was a visible universe which was both beautiful and intelligent” (30a). Here, he is suggesting that the Craftsman is able to create an ordered and rational universe by combining intelligible principles with unintelligible matter.
“The creator made the world a living being, with soul and reason, because he was good and wise. He also made the world beautiful and good, because he desired that it should be like himself. He made the universe out of fire and earth, and he mixed them together in the proportion of two to one. He then added air and water in due proportion, and out of this mixture he formed a globe, which he divided into seven circles, which he called the seven planets.”
In other words, the Craftsman is able to bring order out of chaos by using his intellect and skill to shape the raw materials of the universe into a harmonious whole.
Furthermore, the Craftsman is not a passive or indifferent creator.
Rather, he is deeply invested in the well-being of the universe and takes an active role in its ongoing development and maintenance. In Timeaus, Plato wrote:
“For it was necessary that it should be made as beautiful as possible and as good as possible. Hence, he who was to be a good creator, inasmuch as he was good, fashioned the universe with beauty as well as goodness” (30a).
Here, Plato is suggesting that the Craftsman is motivated by a desire to create a universe that is not only ordered and rational but also beautiful and good.
The Craftsman’s Role in Human Life:
Plato’s concept of the Craftsman is not limited to the creation of the universe. Rather, it has important implications for human life as well.
In Timeaus, he writes: “Now, God made the world for the sake of beings who were to be, as it were, co-workers with him in the creation of life” (31a).
Here, Plato is suggesting that human beings have a special role to play in the ongoing development and maintenance of the world in which we live. Like the Craftsman, our nations and societies should belt by intelligent design and skillful labor in which we are are all workers cooperating with one another in its fabrication.
The Craftsman was a perfect being, free from imperfection and error, and his creation reflected this perfection. As Plato explains, “He [the Craftsman] was good, and in him there was no variation or inconsistency; for being changeless, he was the cause of consistency in everything” (Timeaus 29e).
Furthermore, the Craftsman is responsible for endowing human beings with the ability to reason and intelligence to understand the world around them.
It is the source of all motion for the universe as a whole, the World Soul, and the soul of humans.
Timaeus argues that this source must be an efficient cause (Timaeus 27d). An efficient cause, he says, is one that acts without being acted upon.
In other words, it does not receive its motion from another source and so it can provide motion for other things by acting upon them directly. This means that there must be something, which acts without being acted upon in order to provide the first principle of all motion in the universe as a whole.
Plato’s concept of the Craftsman as the creator of the physical world introduces a fascinating perspective on the origins of our reality. By characterizing the Craftsman as a manual laborer, he highlights the deliberate craftsmanship involved in the shaping of the world.
Plato’s Craftsman invites us to contemplate the intricate relationship between the creator and the created, encouraging us to explore the boundaries between the natural and the artificial.
This idea challenges traditional beliefs and invites us to reconsider our understanding of the universe and our place within it.

“This is one of the most complex examples of parasites controlling animal behavior because it is a microbe controlling an animal – the one without the brain controls the one with the brain.” – David Hughes Penn State University
Within the cosmic battleground of Earth, an eternal symphony and conflict persist, entangling the bodies, minds, and souls of all living entities within a web of inescapable interplay.
There is no refuge from the intricate melody of life and the dark filaments of warfare that bind us, compelled by the magnetic forces of nature to partake in an unending song or engage in mutual combat.
Nothing and no one is immune.
This eternal war we can observe all around us in those victims who have lost the fight as they begin to lose their bodies and control of their minds.
Zombie ants are a perfect example of one of nature’s bizarre phenomena who lost the battle I speak.
Studies have found that they are simply infected with a fungus that takes over their bodily processes, and DNA, and corrupts them to turn them into obedient, mind-controlled servants.
Researchers found that these ants were – 50% ant and 50% fungus.
Zombies, mutants, or hybrids…
As many of you know who follow my work, I believe the same process happens to humans.
QUICK FACT: Did you know that molds/fungi have been found in 100% of autopsied human brains of people who died from Alzheimer’s disease? (Perhaps they were also taken over and their memories wiped clean by the same foreign invaders who stole the ant’s brain.)
And NO Mr. David Icke, they are NOT reptilian elites so please go back to the research desk…
Back to the ants…
A recent study showed how scientists examined the activated genes in the heads of infected zombie ants firmly attached to plants, comparing them with the heads of uninfected ants.
Their findings revealed that when ants were affixed to leaves but still displaying signs of life, only about half of the cells in their heads belonged to the ants themselves; the remainder comprised cells of the invading fungal parasite. Their cells had been combined in the blood, brain, head muscles, and fatty tissue.
During this period of zombie ant behavior, the parasitic fungus triggered a unique set of genes influencing neurotransmitters akin to serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine which exhibited heightened activity while the host ants manifested their peculiar zombie-like conduct.
For example, depletion of serotonin in ants is known to hinder proper foraging, and in other animals, disruption of these neurotransmitters can induce hallucinations and muscle spasms. Serotonin is involved in numerous physiological processes in ants as it is in humans such as sensorimotor skills like sleep, memory, feeding, pain, motor activity, biological rhythms, and neural development.
In other words, the fungi put the ant into a sleep-like waking state as it manipulates the behaviors in its favor by influencing these neurotransmitter systems and specific chemical processes that allow it to take over the mind.
Again, I contend that the same thing happens in humans.
As you can see, serotonin regulates and controls many functions crucial to an ant and a human’s survival and as I mentioned, this is done by our microbiota via neurotransmission.
In 2020, a study found that human neurons are like “mini computers” communicating through a root-like structure inside our bodies called dendrites.
A dendrite means “a structure of nerve cells that comprise the human brain.” The word was coined by scientists who first studied the structure of the brain, they noted its strong resemblance to trees so they named it after the Greek Dendron, meaning “tree.”
These dendrites appear to be natures, animals, mammals, and humans’ super internet signaling pathways that we all share. A type of biological internet for communication and a whole host of other mechanisms such as parasitism and natural selection.
A textbook neuron resembles a leafless tree, with extensive roots, i.e., dendrites leading to a robust, bulbous base—the body.
Electrical signals, akin to water and nutrients, ascend through dendritic roots into the body, where a hump-like structure amalgamates all information. If the sound wave/electrical stimulation is strong enough, it travels down a solitary tree trunk—the output cable, or axon—before being relayed to another neuron via bubbles containing chemical messengers or electricity.
Studies have shown that human dendrites are electrically excitable, exhibiting backpropagating action potentials and fast dendritic calcium spikes.
Dendritic processes play a fundamental role in receiving information via transducing receptors (sensory neurons) or incoming synaptic contacts (conventional neurons). In the presence of weak input signals, the neuron discards the data. Neuroscientists commonly describe single neurons as “binary” or “digital,” reflecting their tendency to either fire or remain inactive.
Through the examination of individual neurons in rodent brains, scientists have recently uncovered that dendritic trees are not merely passive cables; instead, they are highly active components that play a crucial role in a concealed layer of neural computation. Some dendritic trees, for instance, can produce electrical spikes five times larger and more frequent than the conventional firing of neurons.
Rather than recording from a living, intact human brain, the research team decided to study fresh slices of the brain’s cortex removed from patients due to epilepsy or tumors. Utilizing brain tissue from two different patient groups helped them identify signals unique to each brain disease, allowing the researchers to unravel the fundamental computations of human dendrites.
A peculiar signal quickly manifested.
Human dendrites exhibited activity, but the electrical spikes rapidly diminished as they traveled toward the cell’s surface. In contrast, a typical neural signal maintains its intensity as it travels along the output cable to its next destination.
What’s even stranger is that dendritic signals relied exclusively on calcium ions to generate electricity, a significant departure from conventional neural signaling.
The researchers concluded;
“It’s like suddenly discovering a new species that consumes carbon dioxide, rather than oxygen, to sustain its activity—except that species is part of you. ”
This is EXACTLY what I believe is happening to humans.
This species they speak of I contend are fungi/molds that can control and kill their victims, whether it be an ant, pant, or human as they see fit based on these electrical and chemical signals I speak of such as the loss of serotonin.
This loss would create a specific sound wave frequency that the fungi would use for sensing purposes to repel or magnetize their victims like what I contend happens to people who contract Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A disease with currently 50 million victims
For example, new studies have suggested that serotonin loss in humans may be a key player in cognitive decline, rather than a side-effect of Alzheimer’s disease.
As it turns out, approximately 90% of the serotonin the human body produces by our microbiota is in the gastrointestinal tract, where it regulates several bodily functions via a serotonergic pathway. Studies have found that the serotonergic pathway is modulated by gut commensal microbiota components in our gastrointestinal (GI) tract where it manages and controls the gut-brain axis.
Meaning it is our microbiome (fungi) that manages and controls (immune system) our physical and mental health.
What scientists are finding is that the microbiome has signaling mechanisms within this axis that allow it to communicate with the gut and the brain. This is called a neurotransmitter and serotonin seems to be one of the the most important mediators in microbiota–host interactions.
The serotonergic system controls the GI tract and the central nervous system (CNS) physiology. When this pathway is disrupted or corrupted, the disruption results in a wide range of pathologies that are affected thus causing a wide range of brain and intestinal diseases.
The serotonergic pathway plays a crucial role in sensorimotor function, which combines two important components: sensory input and motor output.
Sensory input to visual stimuli involves the information received through our sensory systems, including vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and proprioception (the sense of body position and movement).
Motor output refers to the response generated by our body in reaction to the sensory information received. Sensorimotor skills are also influenced by individual experiences and learning.
Sensorimotor skills refer to the ability to receive sensory messages from the environment and our bodies, and then generate an appropriate motor response. These skills are crucial for our daily functioning and play a fundamental role in our overall development and interaction with the world around us.
It involves the coordination and execution of movements, whether they are fine motor skills (such as writing or buttoning a shirt) or gross motor skills (such as walking or throwing a ball). These movements are the result of complex interactions between our brain, muscles, and nervous system.
Each of these sensory systems provides us with essential information about our surrounding environment and our bodies.
Sensorimotor skills are acquired and developed through a process of continuous learning and refinement from infancy through adulthood. In infancy, sensorimotor skills are foundational for the development of other cognitive and physical abilities.
Babies learn to grasp objects, visually track moving stimuli, and explore their environment through touch and taste. As they grow, they gain more control over their movements and refine their sensorimotor skills to perform more complex tasks.
Through repetition and practice, individuals refine their abilities and become more efficient in performing specific tasks. This process is known as motor learning. For example, a novice pianist may initially struggle with finger dexterity and coordination but with practice, they become more proficient in playing complex pieces.
For example, our visual system allows us to see and process visual stimuli, such as colors, shapes, and movements. Our auditory system enables us to hear and interpret sounds, while our olfactory system helps us perceive different smells.
Similarly, our taste buds allow us to experience flavors, and our sense of touch allows us to feel textures, temperatures, and pressure. Proprioception, on the other hand, provides us with information about the position and movement of our limbs and bodies in space.
Studies have indicated a correlation between motor activity and serotonergic function, and the firing rates of serotonergic neurons responding to intense visual stimuli.
In addition to the natural progression of sensorimotor skills through typical development, some individuals may experience challenges or delays in the acquisition of these skills. Sensory processing disorders, for example, can affect how individuals perceive and respond to sensory information.
Animal models propose that kainate signaling negatively influences serotonin actions in the retina, potentially impacting the regulation of the visual system. The descending projections create an inhibitory pathway referred to as the “descending inhibitory pathway,” which may have implications for disorders such as fibromyalgia, migraine, and other pain disorders, as well as the efficacy of antidepressants in treating them.
A neuron that secretes 5-HT is termed as serotonergic. It is a very important neurotransmitter in the Central Nervous System but when it becomes impaired, or damaged, it decreases in this process causing sensory processing disorders. Hence, pathology ensues along with illness and disease.
5-HT in humans is extensively present in various bodily systems, such as the nervous, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular systems. It influences a broad range of physiological and pathological conditions, including pain, sleep regulation, aggression, feeding, anxiety, and depression.
The disturbance of 5-HT signaling in various pain states has been observed in both basic research and clinical studies, suggesting a potential explanation for certain diffuse pain conditions. In certain neuropathic pain models, the baseline level of 5-HT in the spinal cord was found to be reduced.
Researchers have found that the disruption of 5-HT neurotransmission contributes to the decline in cognitive processes associated with aging, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and various neuropathologies, including schizophrenia, stress, mood disorders, and depression. Also, people with autoimmune disorders like AIDS and similar diseases have significantly lower 5-HT and an increased rate of infections.
Multiple studies have affirmed the pathophysiological importance of the 5-HT system in AD, with several drugs enhancing 5-HT neurotransmission proving effective in addressing AD-related cognitive and behavioral deficits.
5-HT receptors, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors, or serotonin receptors, are a group of G protein-coupled receptor and ligand-gated ion channels found in the central and peripheral nervous systems. They mediate both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission.
As I explained in my previous essay, recent studies suggest that vibrations caused by sound waves directly affect the ion channels in fungal cells, resulting in electrical activity. Other hypotheses propose that sound-induced electrical responses in fungi are linked to their role in communication, growth, or defense mechanisms.
As it relates to nature, scientists have identified that the main jobs of fungi are breaking down organic matter, and processing nutrients and chemicals in a commensal, symbiotic, or pathogenic relationship with its host. For fungi to thrive within a host, they must navigate a dynamic and often challenging environment, necessitating the capacity to perceive and understand their surroundings.
Under typical circumstances, predisposing host factors, like immune suppression, play a crucial role in the survival and propagation of pathogens within mammalian hosts. Once inside the host, these pathogens must contend with the host’s microbiota for essential nutrients. For opportunistic pathogens, breaches in the normal physiological barrier, whether in mammals or plants, serve as entry points.
Fungi have developed various virulence mechanisms to elude the host’s immune system, a topic thoroughly explored elsewhere (Collette and Lorenz, 2011). Sensing these external cues is necessary to adjust fungal morphology, metabolism, mating, and virulence. Furthermore, extensive reviews have delved into how fungi sense environmental cues such as nutrients, gasses, light, and stress (Bahn et al., 2007).
Fungal infections have become a significant medical challenge, and a team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine has made a significant breakthrough in studying the short-term effects of fungal infection in the brain. According to a study published in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers discovered that Candida albicans, a common yeast and type of fungus, can cross the blood-brain barrier and trigger an inflammatory response in mice.
This response led to the formation of granuloma-type structures and temporary mild memory impairments in mice.
Researchers injected C. albicans into mice’s bloodstream and discovered that the yeast can cross the blood-brain barrier, triggering the activation of microglia cells in the brain. The microglia cells became highly active, consuming and digesting the yeast, while also producing molecules that caused an inflammatory response.
This led to the formation of a granule-type structure called fungus-induced glial granuloma (FIGG). The mice infected with the yeast showed impaired spatial memory, which improved once the infection cleared. Although the yeast infection cleared in about 10 days, the microglia cells remained active and the FIGGs persisted for at least 21 days.
These amyloid molecules are typically associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
“These findings suggest that the role fungi play in human illness potentially goes well beyond allergic airway disease or sepsis,” according to Dr. David B. Corry, professor of medicine-immunology, allergy and rheumatology and Fulbright Endowed Chair in Pathology at Baylor College of Medicine.
“The results prompted us to consider the possibility that in some cases, fungi also could be involved in the development of chronic neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. We are currently exploring this possibility,” Dr. Cory said.
Since they do not have eyes and a nose to successfully adapt, fungi must be attuned to external environmental and biochemical factors to process this information to respond and identify unique host-specific elements. They do this by sensing and reacting to the host’s temperature, pH, gasses, nutrients such as sugars, amino acids, nitrogen, and other trace elements along with serotonin, which are all essential for the growth and viability of fungal symbioses or pathogeneses in every environment.
Given that the fungal cell wall maintains constant contact with its surroundings, the expression of receptors, such as pheromone receptors, on the cell wall surface becomes crucial.
Pheromone receptors are proteins that are sensitive to pheromones, which are chemical signals that organisms release to communicate with each other. These signals play a crucial role in various biological processes, including mating, territory marking, and social organization. Pheromone receptors are found in a wide range of organisms, from bacteria and fungi to insects and mammals.
In 1961, researchers noted that some “chemical messengers” act within an individual (e.g., hormones and “other excitatory substances” such as CO2), whereas others (i.e., “pheromones”) act between individuals via ingestion, absorption, or sensory receptors. However, fast forward to 2023, various studies have not revealed conclusively if humans create pheromones on their own.
Considering the chance that we do not create them on our own, the question arises: where do they come from?”
Pheromones in humans may be present in bodily secretions such as urine, semen or vaginal secretions, breast milk, and potentially also saliva and breath, yet most attention thus far has been directed toward axillary sweat. However, studies suggest that we can detect each other through unique smells produced by signaler pheromones
In fungi, pheromone receptors are particularly important for sexual reproduction. They are eukaryotic organisms that reproduce both sexually and asexually.
During sexual reproduction, fungi use pheromones to signal their mating compatibility with other individuals of the same species.
This process is essential for the fusion of specialized sexual structures called gametangia, ultimately leading to the formation of new genetically diverse individuals.
Here is an image explaining this biological process:
The typical lifecycle of fungi involves the following steps:
1. Pheromone production: Fungi release pheromones into their environment. These pheromones act as signaling molecules, indicating the presence and mating compatibility of the releasing individual
2. Pheromone reception: Potential mating partners have pheromone receptors on their cell surfaces. These receptors are specific to the type of pheromones produced by compatible mating partners.
3. Chemotropism: The receiving fungal cells respond to the pheromones by growing towards the source of the pheromone (a process known as chemotropism). This directional growth helps mating partners to come into proximity.
4. Cell fusion (plasmogamy): Once the compatible cells come into contact, they undergo cell fusion or plasmogamy. This fusion of cytoplasmic contents is a crucial step in sexual reproduction.
5. Formation of sexual structures: Following plasmogamy, specialized structures such as a zygote or a dikaryotic mycelium are formed, depending on the fungal species.
6. Completion of sexual reproduction: The sexual structures eventually lead to the formation of spores or other structures that can disperse and give rise to new individuals.
The entire process is tightly regulated by the interaction between pheromones and their corresponding receptors. The specificity of these interactions ensures that mating occurs only between compatible individuals of the same fungal species. The study of pheromone signaling in fungi has provided valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying sexual reproduction in eukaryotic organisms.
These pheromone receptors not only facilitate chemotropism for mating but also serve other essential roles. These chemicals in the body are “electrically charged” — when they have an electrical charge, they are called ions. ‘
The term “ion” finds its origin in the Greek language, specifically derived from the neuter present participle of “ienai” (Greek: ἰέναι), which translates to “to go.” In the realm of ions, a cation is associated with downward movement (Greek: κάτω pronounced kato, meaning “down”), while an anion is linked to upward movement (Greek: ano ἄνω, meaning “up”).
It is this ion channel that I believe is the main method that fungi use to exploit and corrupt once the negative charge ions become too imbalanced
An ion, as introduced by English physicist and chemist Michael Faraday in 1834, is a term used to describe a species that travels from one electrode to another through an aqueous medium. This concept was developed after a suggestion by the English polymath William Whewell. To understand the concept of an ion, it is necessary to delve into the world of chemistry and electricity.
In the realm of electrochemistry, ions play a crucial role. An ion is an atom or a molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. These charged particles are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons to achieve a stable electronic configuration.
The operation of batteries also relies on ion migration.
In a typical battery, chemical reactions occur at the electrode surfaces, resulting in the generation of a voltage. This voltage drives the migration of ions between the electrodes, allowing for the transfer of charge and the production of electrical energy.
During discharge, positive ions move from the anode to the cathode, while negative ions move in the opposite direction. This ion migration enables the flow of electrons through an external circuit, producing an electric current.
The term “ion” was coined by Faraday to describe the movement of these charged species during electrolysis. Electrolysis is a process that utilizes an electric current to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction. It involves the decomposition of an electrolyte, a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in a solvent, typically water.
During electrolysis, an external electric current is applied to an electrolytic cell, which consists of two electrodes, an anode (positive electrode) and a cathode (negative electrode), immersed in an electrolyte solution. When the electric current flows through the cell, ions are attracted to the respective electrodes based on their charge.
The movement of ions from one electrode to another through the aqueous medium is what Faraday referred to as an ion catation. The term “catation” is derived from the Greek word “kation,” meaning “to go down.” This reflects the movement of positively charged ions, known as cations, towards the cathode.
On the other hand, negatively charged ions, known as anions, migrate towards the anode during electrolysis. These anions are formed when an atom gains one or more electrons, resulting in a negatively charged species. The migration of anions is often referred to as anion catation.
Anion (−) and cation (+) indicate the net electric charge on an ion. An ion that has more electrons than protons, giving it a net negative charge, is named an anion, and a minus indication “Anion (−)” indicates the negative charge. With a cation it is just the opposite: it has fewer electrons than protons, giving it a net positive charge, hence the indication “Cation (+)”.
In addition to their roles in electrochemical processes, ions are also essential for maintaining the balance of charges in various biological systems. In living organisms, ions such as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), and chloride (Cl-) play vital roles in nerve conduction, muscle contraction, and maintaining osmotic balance.
The movement of ions across cell membranes through specialized ion channels allows for the transmission of electrical signals and the regulation of cellular functions.
HOW FUNGI USE SOUND WAVES AND FREQUENCIES CONTROL THE WORLD
Studies have shown that fungi are extremely polarized organisms that constantly produce internal electrical currents and fields that are generated by hyphae. Its growth requires a constant supply of proteins and lipids to the hyphal tip.
Researchers have proven that the individual hyphae of the filamentous fungi constantly perform cellular “monologue” and cell-to-cell dialog using signal oscillations to acquire or magnetically attract the nutrients it requires to grow and thrive within the host.
For example, studies have found how psilocybin reduces low-frequency oscillatory power in users’ brains, increases overall firing rates, and desynchronizes local neural activity. It indicates experiences correlate with the lagged phase synchronization of delta oscillations. Schizophrenia, which mimics symptomatically the psychotic effects of psilocybin, is associated with diffuse delta rhythms.
These oscillations create electricity which is one of the key factors shaping their growth and development. The hyphae become polarized and entrained as the branching of mycelium is induced by electric field frequency, which it uses to communicate and transport the raw human materials within the blood and central nervous system.
The electrical current helps fungi with the translocation of resources it gathers within the host using magnets and hydraulic pressure.
Recent studies have explored the potential of utilizing frequency-specific sounds as a viable substitute for chemical fungicides in combatting plant diseases. The research findings indicated that high frequencies possess the ability to impede mycelium growth, akin to the impact of high-pitched noises causing deafness.
Further investigation revealed noticeable morphological changes in the mycelium, providing insights into the mechanism. This suggests that certain sound wave frequencies can induce stressful growth conditions, presenting a sustainable approach to combating pathogenic fungal pathogens.
As signaling and metabolism in organisms are controlled by a precise ionic gradient across membranes, the disruption of this gradient contributes to cell death. This is a common mechanism exploited by natural and artificial biocides, including the ion channels gramicidin and amphotericin (a fungicide).
What is interesting and helps prove my theory is that researchers have recently found that 5-HT is a strong inhibitor of fungal growth.
So, not only are ion channels used to treat people with antifungal medicines, but supplementing with 5-HT in the serotonergic pathways can stop fungi from growing in the body and brain. As I mentioned, the serotonergic pathway is modulated by the gut commensal where 5-HT is biosynthesized with L-tryptophan (Trp) derived from our diets.
As I mentioned, the loss of serotonin or 5-HT causes a condition known as sensory processing disorder (SPD), which interferes with the typical processing of sensory information (stimuli) in the brain. This involves the processing of what you see, hear, smell, taste, or touch.
SPD may impact all senses or just one, resulting in heightened sensitivity to stimuli compared to the general population. These disorders can result in hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to certain sensory stimuli, leading to difficulties in regulating behavior and responding appropriately to the environment.
For example, ants normally do not venture out solo and climb a big tree to nowhere destined to become its aerial deathbed.
Once the ant victim clamps down on the leaf, the parasitic fungus triggers a series of genes responsible for the degradation of the ants’ jaw muscles, resulting in the lockjaw effect. Simultaneously, it activates genes that suppress the ant’s immune system, facilitating the unimpeded growth and proliferation of fungal cells throughout the ant’s head tissues.
As the ants cease their struggle and succumb to the fungus, a staggering 75% of the cells in their heads transform into fungal cells.
The ant is no longer an ant but a parasitic fungus that has taken over an ant carcass, thus becoming a “zombie ant.”
During this period, numerous genes in the fungal genome related to ant host digestion, cell growth, and reproduction shift into high gear, marking the fungus’s transition to a rapid growth phase for the development of its reproductive stalk so it can shoot spores to infect other ants.
In another study from 2019, researchers found that at the moment of behavioral manipulation by the fungus, the host’s brain is not invaded by the fungus.
Instead, it invades other areas of the ant’s muscle tissue making them a co-pilot.
They discovered that despite not being invaded by the parasite, the brains of manipulated ants are notably different, showing alterations in neuromodulatory substances, signs of neurodegeneration, changes in energy use, and antioxidant compounds that signal stress reactions by the host.
I have often wondered if fungi/molds can do this to ants and other insects, why not humans?
After all, these tiny but deadly creatures have been around for millions of years and are well known for their industrious nature and strong social organization.
This so-called co-pilot stage may be what we witness in individuals with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease where the fungal cells eliminate and displace the human cells like it does the ant. Thus causing various pathologies.
At this stage, we call it dementia.
Ergothionine, a fungal-derived compound with known neuronal cytoprotection functions was found to be highly elevated in zombie ant brains suggesting the fungus, which does not invade the central nervous system, is preserving the brain.
Ergothioneine is a naturally occurring amino acid compound that is produced in relatively few organisms, notably actinomycetota, cyanobacteria, and certain fungi. Ergothioneine was first discovered in 1909 and named after the ergot fungus from which it was first purified.
The researchers found thousands of unique chemicals, most of them completely unknown. This, according to Hughes, is not surprising, since little previous work has mined these fungi for the chemicals they produce.
But what did stand out were two known neuromodulators, guanobutyric acid (GBA) and sphingosine. These both have been reported to be involved in neurological disorders and were enriched when the fungus was grown in the presence of the brains of its target species.
“There is no single compound that is produced that results in the exquisite control of ant behavior we observe,” de Bekker said. “Rather, it is a mixture of different chemicals that we assume act in synergy.
“But whatever the precise blend and tempo of chemical secretion,” she said, “it is impressive that these fungi seem to ‘know’ when they are beside the brain of their regular host and behave accordingly.”
Noted Hughes, “This is one of the most complex examples of parasites controlling animal behavior because it is a microbe controlling an animal — the one without the brain controls the one with the brain.
By employing metabolomics and controlled laboratory infections, we can now begin to understand how the fungi pull off this impressive trick.”
GNOSTIC WARRIOR CONCLUSION:
The research clearly shows that fungi can zombify an ant via a multi-prong approach. Meaning, there is not one specific method or neurotransmitter that the fungi use to manipulate its host.
Hence, it is hacking multiple bodily and mental processes to achieve its aim – Total Control.
To study this phenomenon, scientists use data sets called multiomics or “panomics” or “pan-omics” as a biological analysis approach to analyze complex biological big data to discover novel associations between biological entities, pinpoint relevant biomarkers, and build elaborate markers of disease and physiology.
The meaning of multiomics is to study life in a synergetic way using data sets with multiple “omes“, like the genome, proteome, transcriptome, epigenome, metabolome, and microbiome. That is essentially what I’m doing in the creation of this essay but also using a multidisciplinary scientific and logical approach to my theory.
A 2023 “multiomic” study found the dysregulation of neurotransmitter levels and neuronal signaling. The researchers believe this alteration or corruption occurs during infection, which immediately triggers;
1 – differential expression of neurotransmitter synthesis and receptor genes
2 – altered abundance of metabolites and neurotransmitters (or their precursors) with known behavioral effects in ants and other insects, and
3 – possible suppression of a connected immunity pathway. We additionally report signals for metabolic activity during manipulation related to primary metabolism, detoxification, and anti-stress protectants.
The researchers concluded;
“Taken together, these findings suggest that host manipulation is likely a multi-faceted phenomenon, with key processes changing at multiple levels of molecular organization.”
What is important to understand is that these alterations in the body lead to changes in animal host behavior mostly referred to as manipulations, preceding a fatal change in behavior. For example, the infected zombie ants, they began to stop communicating with their fellow ants as they then left their nest and normal foraging trails venturing solo into the forest which is not natural.
In our human society, we can witness similar traits among the mentally ill or people who have a disease and the alcoholic and drug addicts of our world. Their bodies and brains have been altered or corrupted
Scientists speculate that the diverse alterations observed in hosts might serve as exploitable traits for fungal parasites. This strategy allows the parasites to exploit host behaviors and symptoms without the need for costly host rewiring.
They believe that these various changes may represent behaviors that can be easily coopted for manipulation by fungal parasites.
The parasitical fungi may be taking advantage of existing host processes and symptoms without relying on costly mechanisms to “rewire” their hosts.
The same process I believe occurs in humans with similar zombie-like traits.
The long list of diseases and addictions killing people worldwide makes me ponder if these same fungi are manipulating our thoughts and behaviors, which seems to be affecting almost everyone alive.
It is the alcoholic who cannot stop drinking the very poison that is killing them. (Globally an estimated 237 million men and 46 million women suffer from alcohol-use disorders. – WHO)
It is the obese person who for the life of them, cannot stop eating junk that will cause them to have a heart attack and die. (Worldwide, more than 1 billion people have obesity—650 million adults, 340 million adolescents, and 39 million children. – WHO)
Millions of people losing control of their bodies as they lose their minds.
Annual incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in Europe from 1990 to 2019(per 100,000)
The reengineering of potentially billions of people around the world within a Fungi Deep State.
Hundreds of millions of people have lost the ability to think or behave like a normal human being.
A globe covered by human fungal mutants or who we would call addicts and the mentally ill.
A defacto death sentence for the host but food and a playground for the very fungi who made it all happen – The Zombie Apocalypse.

We live in a world of sound.
Nature and life all around us are listening and secretly communicating via hidden networks.
A phenomenon called “bioacoustics and biocommunication.” Meaning, “the sound of life” or “the communication of life.”
The birds sing as they work hard pollinating the landscape producing fruit and seeds for the plants.
Humming to their own tune, bees carry on the great work of transporting pollen from one flower to the next.
Thus producing an alchemical celebration for the eyes with beautiful colorful flowers and a golden elixir we call honey that we can taste.
All the while, the plants, and trees are cognisant of the song of nature as they emit their sound waves secretly communicating through their roots via a vast global network of fungal mycelium.
Fungi, often hidden beneath the soil or nestled within decaying matter, form vast interconnected networks known as mycelium that grow long filaments, or ‘hyphae’, which interlink the root tips of different plants at a microscopic level.
The interlinking of fungal hyphae between different plant roots forms a symbiotic relationship known as mycorrhizae. Mycorrhizal fungi facilitate nutrient exchange between plants and enhance their resilience to environmental stressors.
The fruiting body is not just for the nourishment of the fungus itself but also the entire forest ecosystem, carrying electrical and chemical signals between plants. This allows different plant species that are compatible with the same species of mycorrhizal fungi to be connected via one common mycelium, coming together like the strings of a piano that strike a single harmonic chord.
By responding to sound waves, fungi may be able to optimize their mycorrhizal associations, enhancing nutrient uptake and improving plant growth and survival.
Hyphae make up a messy mass of branching, which gives rise to the vegetative mycelium. It is the mycelium that responds to sound waves.
The sound waves draw out the minuscule fungal tendrils like a snake charmer luring out snakes with music.
An interconnected bionetwork that appears to connect all living things together in its dark web that stretches deep into the earth’s abyss and 33,000 feet into space.
A universal fungal matrix that scientists are just learning to decode.
Recent studies have revealed that molds/fungi are magnetized (attracted) to low amplitude and low-frequency sound frequencies in the environment.
Scientists have made remarkable discoveries measuring the electrical responses of fungi (molds) to sound stimuli that have revealed that they demonstrate measurable electrical activity in response to different sound frequencies and patterns.
These findings suggest that fungi possess a form of sensory perception, enabling them to detect and respond to auditory cues. Moreover, they possess the remarkable ability to convert sound into electrical signals, much like our own auditory system, which may be a manifestation of the information received and then communicated between distant parts of the fungal colonies.
Researchers have also found that sound waves also have a profound impact on the biochemical processes within fungi, triggering the release of compounds like melatonin and indole, which are typically produced in times of stress and injury.
They have observed electrical spikes and oscillations in the fungi’s mycelium when exposed to music, vibrations, or even the sound of approaching predators.
It is hypothesized that sound might also serve as a means for fungi to communicate with each other, potentially facilitating resource sharing, warning signals, or even cooperative behavior.
By responding to sound, they may adapt their growth patterns, spore dispersal strategies, or interactions and defense mechanisms with other organisms.
These fascinating microorganisms, crucial to our ecosystems, can respond to sound waves in different ways, either by stimulating the growth of certain species or by inhibiting the growth of other competitors. This intriguing phenomenon can be attributed to the fungi’s ability to respond to sound waves in the environment that act to magnetize or repel through either a biochemical or transductive mechanism.
For example, sound waves can cause changes in air movement and humidity levels, which can in turn impact the growth and distribution of fungi. Some studies have suggested that certain frequencies of sound waves can enhance air circulation and increase evaporation rates, creating conditions that are less favorable for fungal growth.
Conversely, other studies have shown that sound waves can disrupt air currents and promote the spread of fungal spores, leading to increased colonization and infection rates.
The exact mechanisms responsible for fungi’s electrical responses to sound stimuli are still under investigation. Some theories suggest that vibrations caused by sound waves directly affect the ion channels in fungal cells, resulting in electrical activity. Other hypotheses propose that sound-induced electrical responses in fungi are linked to their role in communication, growth, or defense mechanisms.
The term “ion” finds its origin in the Greek language, specifically derived from the neuter present participle of “ienai” (Greek: ἰέναι), which translates to “to go.” In the realm of ions, a cation is associated with downward movement (Greek: κάτω pronounced kato, meaning “down”), while an anion is linked to upward movement (Greek: ano ἄνω, meaning “up”).
Chemicals in the body are “electrically-charged” — when they have an electrical charge, they are called ions. The important ions in the nervous system are sodium and potassium (both have 1 positive charge, +), calcium (has 2 positive charges, ++) and chloride (has a negative charge, -).
According to Science Daily;
“Elemental particles that transmit both heat and sound — known as acoustic phonons — also have magnetic properties and can, therefore, be controlled by magnets, even for materials thought to be ‘nonmagnetic,’ such as semiconductors. This discovery ‘adds a new dimension to our understanding of acoustic waves,’ according to a landmark study.
“This adds a new dimension to our understanding of acoustic waves,” said Joseph Heremans, Ph.D., Ohio Eminent Scholar in Nanotechnology and a professor of mechanical engineering at Ohio State whose group performed the experiments.
“We’ve shown that we can steer heat magnetically. With a strong enough magnetic field, we should be able to steer sound waves, too.”
People might be surprised enough to learn that heat and sound have anything to do with each other, much less that either can be controlled by magnets, Heremans acknowledged.
But both are expressions of the same form of energy, quantum mechanically speaking.
So any force that controls one should control the other.”
Researchers have found that high-intensity pulsed magnetic fields are widely used as a physical non-thermal sterilization technology in food processing, while weak magnetic fields are better at activating microorganisms and promoting their growth.
According to Science Direct, “the effect of magnetic fields on organisms, magnetic fields are classified into different intensity levels: weak (<1 T), strong (1–5 T) and ultra-strong (>5 T). Weak magnetic fields are better at activating microorganisms and promoting their growth [37], [38], [39]. Strong magnetic fields kill microorganisms.
The biological effects caused by low-frequency ultrasound include (1) changes in cell membrane permeability and increased cell growth rate; (2) changes in molecular conformation and intensification of reaction processes; and (3) activation of intracellular signal transduction systems and changes to the synthesis of metabolites within the organism.”
Low-frequency ultrasound has low energy consumption and reduced processing time and thermal effects, which can improve cell membrane permeability
Our cell membranes serve as our barriers and gatekeepers, but they are semi-permeable, which means that some molecules and organisms can diffuse across the lipid bilayer but others cannot.
This is where my whole theory of demonic fungi controlling the human brain rests…
In 2013, a Korean group examined the viability of employing frequency-specific sounds as an alternative to chemical fungicides for plant disease management. Their investigation unveiled that elevated frequencies possess the ability to impede the growth of mycelium, mirroring the effect of high-pitched noises causing deafness in humans.
Research has showed that high frequencies are capable of inhibiting growth of the mycelium, eerily similar to how high-pitched noises can deafen us.
This suggests that certain sound wave frequencies can induce stress in growth conditions.
On the other hand, low-frequency sounds seem to increase the productivity of certain fungi. For example, oyster mushrooms, known for their role in Asian cuisines, can be ‘sound treated’ and cultivated on sawdust, to increase their yield and rate of growth.
The study of sound wave-fungal interactions sheds light on the interconnectedness and complexity of the natural world.
The potential applications of sound wave manipulation in agriculture and horticulture are intriguing. By understanding the effects of sound waves on fungal growth, researchers and farmers could potentially harness these findings to optimize crop production and disease management.
For example, the use of specific frequencies of sound waves could be explored as a means of stimulating beneficial fungal symbiosis in plant roots, enhancing nutrient uptake and overall plant health. Conversely, sound wave technologies could be developed to disrupt the growth and spread of pathogenic fungi, reducing the need for chemical fungicides and promoting sustainable farming practices.
From plants subtly dancing to melodies to fungi exhibiting electrifying responses, the scientific exploration of these phenomena opens up new avenues for understanding and harnessing nature’s hidden secrets.
My ultimate theory is that fungi can also magnetize to animals and mammals, including humans via the same low frequencies to cause illness, disease, madness and death. A theory that I believe is being substantiated more and more.
When we live healthy and are on a higher vibration, we repel parasitical fungi.
As we delve deeper into this realm, it becomes clear that our world is intricately connected through the language of sound, inviting us to listen, explore, and embrace the symphony and even death metal that surrounds us in its web.
