'FAQ' #6 ON "RHYTHM BASED COMMUNICATION"
Are there biological survival advantages for RBC?
Yes, and the answer is very powerful, very clear
and absolutely essential to the survival of all ecosystems of Earth. Firstly,
RBC requires low biological stress, which has been demonstrated
experimentally. Secondly, we believe, based on logic and experience that
RBC produces low stress. Thirdly, in theory, RBC should be a near
instantaneous carrier of emotional messages. Fourthly, organisms can easily
and quickly switch from pure to partial RBC, or to pure "Signal Based Communication"
(SBC). Fifthly, we believe that inherent trust, honesty and altruism have
evolved into and are associated with RBC in contrast to the inherent distrust,
dishonesty and 'survival of the fittest' that have evolved into and are
associated with SBC. Expanding these five contentions:
1) Entering RBC requires 'synchronization'
and the exchanging of rhythmic 'passkeys,' (in order to establish
additional 'Time' variables). RBC experiences with cetaceans, terrestrial
mammals and bald eagles end just before active feeding and we presume that
the internal biological stress of hunger switches all such communications
from rhythms to signals.
2) The logic of the existence of low stress
in RBC is the lack of the need of forethought. It truly doesn't matter
what the organism does (within a very wide range of acceptable signals);
it only matters when the organism does it. An analogy would be in dancing
when it does not matter if your signal is a forward step or a side step
but it does matter if you follow the rhythm of the music. When we have
been "Dancing With Whales" (RBC only) our signal is often chosen
from fifty, but chosen at the last moment of the required rhythmic timing.
This, we experience, leads to a feeling of low stress and 'nowness.'
3) We believe that RBC is a powerful communicator
of the emotions and if a receiving organism is synchronized (for
example by sunrise, motion rhythms, sounds) then the encoding can be in
'Rhythm Based Time,' RBT, and communication thus becomes superluminal
or near instantaneous.
4) RBC and SBC work together like music and
dancing. Signals, for humans, most often appear to carry all communication
concepts but as stress reduces we unconsciously seem to 'migrate' toward
the transmission of feelings without language and with seemingly un-meaningful,
SBC, visual, auditory and other signals. Examples are found in eastern
philosophy, in reverence and most obviously in sincere love.
5) 'Evolutionary theory' now seems
correct but not complete. It is Nature with SBC, inherent potential distrust,
deception, 'fight or flight' and higher orders of internal biological stress.
Another aspect of Nature which surely occupies a part of our biosphere's
space-time continuum, possibly smaller, potentially larger, is 'Altruistic
theory.' It is Nature with RBC, inherent trust, honesty and lower orders
of biological stress. And these two parts of Nature likewise work together,
also like dancing and music, as organisms move (with different steps) between
the two distinct 'living' rooms which metaphorically describe our biological
kingdoms.
The two theories are compatible for all of
the above. Furthermore, RBC leads to strong, potential, evolutionary selection
pressures for survival, as follows: a) all organisms should seek lower
stress when they get the chance because it produces lower metabolic rate
and thus longer life and, b) lower stress enhances emotional communication,
thus affection, thus reproduction. The part of life that is altruistic
(found profoundly in the cetaceans and in humans) feeds back energy to
support neo-Darwinism and the two behavioral theories become separate but
complementary. Organisms simply move between the two. The dominant characteristic
for each is their mode of communication. |
