Hypothesis of the biofield control system

Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, April, 2007 by Savely Savva

Control Subsystems

More complex organisms are operated by the BCS through four separate control subsystems that use different agents and channels of communication: nervous (electric), circulatory (chemical), electromagnetic (hypothetical electromagnetic coherencies and biophotons in tissues and organs proposed and studied by the F.-A. Popp group (8)), and one manifested in acupuncture (called Qi, prana, and so forth, in Oriental cultures) that may have the same physical carrier as the BCS itself.

Biofield Control System and the Biological Evolution

In the current discussion between promoters of 'Intelligent Design' (ID) and Neo-Darwinists, M. Behe is absolutely persuasive showing the "irreducible complexity" of the blocks of a living organism such as the eye, cellular cilium, or bacterial flagellum, etc. (9) These and other most complex organizations could not possibly emerge by random (undirected) mutations. Emergence of a new species is associated not with just one mutation but with a long chain of mutations that are clearly not random and must occur simultaneously. Until the whole chain is accomplished, no individual, let alone a population or the whole species, would have any advantage in adaptation selection, as J. Bockris noted in his book. (10) This was understood by many distinguished biologists like Lev S. Berg who wrote his Nomogenesis in 1922; there must be laws determining ontogenesis (life cycle of an organism) as well as phylogenesis (evolutionary development), and there is no place for randomness in the biological evolution. (11)

The problem with the current discussion is that it seems more ideological than scientific. Darwinism from the beginning enjoyed an overwhelming support of the scientific community, because it presented an alternative to the religious creationism. Then, it became a dogma with the same function as any religious dogma--to keep the social organization stable, in this case, the scientific community. However, the actual alternative to Darwinism is not Intelligent Design but the broadening of the scientific paradigm. An "Omnipotent Designer" would not "play dice," in Einstein's words. He would know what He wants to begin with. He would not leave the abundant "dead ends" on the branches of the evolutionary tree still providing a reasonable food chain for the "Omega Point," in the terms of Teilhard d'Chardin. And, indeed, in the religion mythology, He starts with Adam and Eve.

One cannot exclude intelligence behind the whole universe, but this intelligence must have produced all the physical forces, laws of their interactions, and universal constants, including those yet unknown interactions that are responsible for the emergence of life. The idea of such intelligence is not more unreal than the Big Bang theory or Chaos as the starting point of the Universe.

The postulated concept of the biofield control system may bring the biological evolution back into the realm of science. Considering the obvious role of the "mother"--the egg, the ant colony, etc.--in the embryonic development (see development program above), one can assume that the mother's BCS (her reproduction program) can cause changes in the biofield control system of the embryo and, consequently, simultaneous genetic changes in the embryo. This is what can explain not only the Lamarckian examples of the giraffe's neck and the bird's legs elongation but the whole evolutionary process. Back in 1954, biologist Curt Stern mentioned the possibility of the biofield participation in the mutagenesis and evolution. (12) Thus, the proverbial question "What came first--the chicken or the egg?" remains open: the chicken's mother might have been a pre-chicken with a transformed BCS.
