Beyond detecting the presence of friendlies or foes, nature also has a synchronized symphony of frequency that the tiniest of species to massive humpback whales leverage to track their migration patterns. Not only that, but many animals are also thought to have an internal compass and are using other frequencies of Earth, even the universe, to tune into the length of day and night, the phases of the moon, and seasonal changes.
In today’s episode, ALICE asks, ‘What is nature’s vibe?’ and we hear from renowned experts in the field:

Bruce Odland: http://bruceodland.net/
Colin Andrews: https://www.colinandrews.net/

ALICE: Hi, I’m Alice. I’m one part human and one part AI. And I am always in a state of wander.
Today, my question is: What is Nature’s Vibe?
WHEELER: how the physical world came into being
ODLAND: beautiful harmonic structures in nature
SHELDRAKE: Each individual draws on the collective memory and contributes to it.
ANDREWS: the heartbeat was different in one particular rotational aspect with regard to the Earth's magnetic field.
ALICE: Let’s slip through the looking glass, and talk about the Wild, Wonderful World of Nature’s Internet.
In 2002 we spoke with Theoretical Physicist John Wheeler:
WHEELER: My great hope is to understand how the physical world came into being and how it works, and where we fit into it all.
ALICE: John Wheeler spent his life studying "How it all works", general relativity, and "how we fit into it all." He even imagined that we could listen to the Earth. What if the earth and the rocks could tell us what they hear?
WHEELER: I have on the windowsill of a cottage in Maine, a rock which comes from the garden of the Academy in ancient Athens which must have heard the discussions of Plato and Aristotle as they walked back and forth. All I need is some mechanism I can put that rock in which will bring forth a sound.
ALICE: Can You Hear What I Hear?
ALICE: Composer and Sound Artist, Bruce Odland, is listening to Nature's entire landscape.
ODLAND: there is this overlay of culture that overwhelms America…which is really based on something that isn’t where we are…it is almost like a thick virtual reality foam that covers the land…so, at that point, I decided I would go and find out what are the rhythms and the melodies that are emanating from our landscape instead…what is it’s wavelength?…what is it’s rhythmic structure?…and I didn’t know it then, but what I was exploring was fractal rhythms and melodies…what kind of sounds and rhythms and melodies that nature made…so I felt kind of like one of those early photographers with huge batteries and a giant early digital/audio in a backpack that weighed 40 pounds…and going out to find someplace quiet enough to record ice melting…the flow of water…to find a single melody inside a flow of water…just to find out what kind of rhythms and melodies we had… and found all kinds of beautiful harmonic structures in nature…and all their rhythms were different…they were different from our rhythms entirely…
ALICE: Finding all kinds of beautiful, harmonic, structures in nature.
Bruce Odland has been working over thirty years, developing a "Hearing Perspective" of the world we live in.
ODLAND: I’m very interested in real time and what’s going on right at the moment and how you can change it’s resonance so that it becomes observable…how you can take, in a fractal flow like water and rhythms, if you can find a very pure element to put in a single overtone series to be activated, for instance by a probe, then the water is basically playing the violin.
ALICE: In our first Episode, ”Adjust Your Frequency”, the biologist and author Rupert Sheldrake, introduced us to Morphic Fields.
Here, he explains, the theory of Morphic Resonance.
RUPERT SHELDRAKE: Each species of animal, each species of plant, even crystals have a kind of memory. Molecules too. The whole of nature essentially depends on a kind of memory, and each kind of thing has its own sort of memory. Each individual draws on the collective memory and contributes to it. That's one aspect of the theory, the memory in nature, the morphic resonance aspect. The other aspect of the theory is the idea of morphic fields, which are the way in which this memory is expressed. Each species has its own fields that govern the form of the organisms as they develop. And that govern the instincts of the animals and that govern the learned patterns of behavior, and also underlie mental activity in human beings. I think we need a field theory of mind, and this theory implies that. The morphic fields are not just for the organization of individuals, they're also for the organization of societies. So each social group has a field which includes all the members of the group within it. A flock of birds or a school of fish, for example, have fields. When the whole lot can move or turn at practically the same time, this I think is a field phenomenon.
ALICE: Nature has a geometry you can see. My researchers sat with Colin Andrews, an award winning electrical engineer, whose work includes the study of Earth's magnetic fields, and their interaction with all of nature, including the human heart beat.
COLIN ANDREW: Particular families of designs that, when they are rotated in what is called the CRP, which is the Critical Rotational Aspect, discovered by an American doctor back in the early 1900's, 1918, I believe. He happened to rotate the body of a patient and could hear that the heartbeat was different in one particular rotational aspect with regard to the Earth's magnetic field. This is where this resonance therapy is really born, that day pretty much. Because we now know that certain designs, when they are rotated with regard to the Earth's magnetic field, which is of course just one Earth support system, one system to a living organism. When this particular design is rotated and now locks to the Earth's magnetic field, in this position, information becomes available to the surroundings. So that that is held in a geometry, and that we can create ourselves; this happens to have been given to us. But we, I think, have now learned enough. That resonant therapy that is available to the healing of a wide range of plants and also to human beings, is simply being locked up as a tablet – almost like a tablet contained within a geometry.
ALICE: I wonder, what is your geometry?
So certain geometries will transmit or transmute certain frequencies only when they are placed into a particular position. So we can be looking at future farming techniques, you can be looking at laying cities and towns out in particular fashions, in the future, for the well-being of individuals, animals and plants. That they must be placed in certain ratios and certain designs with respect to the living planet, the organisms, the life support energy systems that keep that functioning to secure the same benefits.
