Our consciousness contains a certain given quantum of time and space in the form of the hidden memory or karmic field. Memory field, embedded in karmic codes of subject-object interaction of past lives, rests in time-space quanta comparable to the wave-particle structure of the subatomic universe. Depending upon the quantum structure of one's memory field, one chooses his action radiuslocal, county or district level, national or global level.
People with a local memory field may choose to live all their lives in the same neighbourhood. Others may then move up to regional or national levels, yet others may move up to the continental, global or cosmic levels. And depending upon the memory field format, our minds constantly generate images (forms), which we experience as our stream of consciousness. When the streams of consciousness within two individuals run parallel and resonate, there is bound to be attraction, i.e. love; when they run counter and desonate, there is bound to be repulsion, i.e. hate. (The streams interact only when interests are involved, we neither love nor hate all people we come across in the street.)
When we consider that everything we do, everywhere we go, everyone we meet has come about in this attractionrepulsion pattern-the same thing that is going on within an atom--we can conclude with some confidence that our lives and destinies are shaped by forms generated within us and their resonance within and without Two fornis can resonate mutually, according to Sheldrake, as close as the cells in the same organism or as far across the stellar space between two universes.
Thus we can conclude that memory fields are the fundamental building blocks of the evolving cosmos. Evolu
