Using Morphic Fields - Part 1: What is a Morphic Field?

Using Morphic Fields - 

Part 1: What is a Morphic Field?

In the context of this blog on exploring Second and Third Tier, I thought I would finally write about a concept that makes sense starting only in the Second-Tier Turquoise worldview, to the extent one can stretch into that.

Morphic Field is the shorthand term for morphogenetic field. If you want the official version of what they are, read the author who identified the concept, in 1981: Rupert Sheldrake. 

I have not actually read his book, partly because when I heard of the concept I understood it well. I've been employing my understanding of it usefully and practically for about 30 years, despite mainstream materialistic science's ridicule and dismissal of the concept.

Go ahead and read about it from Sheldrake and others. Here is my personal view. I will go on in future posts to describe many kinds of morphic fields and how I use them, and how anyone might benefit from using them. They are easy to use.

They are similar to electromagnetic fields, gravitational fields, or heat fields. Such a field is not as definite a space as a bubble, nonetheless there is a something which occupies space, is invisible and generally intangible, and has certain general characteristics of its kind of field (heat vs gravity) and of that unique field in particular. It has a particular size with fuzzy boundaries, and it has particular but always-increasing content. It is a "something," an "it." Morphic fields can contain smallelr morphic fields, and they tend to aggregate into natural holarchies of size and content.

If you learn how, you can detect a field, upload content, and download content from the field into your own consciousness. Therein lies the usefulness.

The morphic fields I use are in the "space" of "consciousness." All of consciousness, which we could say forms the "field of field of fields" of every experience of any conscious being. The morphic fields I focus on are independent of any particular person, and are composed of the experiences of many people around a particular matter, such as a particular concert, or a mantra, or the field of the experience of all birthing mothers over all of human history. More on the "matters" in a later blogpost.

As the Wikipedia article on Sheldrake indicates, morphic fields are related to telepathy, precognition, etc. This is because, as suggested above, all of consciousness is one field. Everyone is it and is in it all the time, and everyone is creating it all the time, and everyone is actually using it all the time, especially when it shows up as "inspiration." (And it goes beyond human consciousness, but I won't ask you to stretch that far right now.)

You can think of a morphic field as a library on a subject, intangible and immediately available to anyone who chooses to tap into it. The Internet itself is like a vast morphic field, but more tangible. 

Morphic fields, as I experience them, are not identities or entities. They are more like thought-forms or egregores, which may be morphic fields. They are also related to the phenomena of collective intelligence, collective memory, collective subcionscious, or archetypes.

In not having self-identity or self-awareness morphic fields are different from teams or groups of higher-dimenisonal entities. Morphic fields don't have the same agency or will as such groups or teams, but they do in my experience have some ability to respond to requests or intentions. 

For example I have placed/integrated my body into the morphic field of bodies that people have regenerated from very bad health into strong vital healthiness. Having done that, the field is "working on me" and giving me encouragement, hope, support, and direct healing, and sending resources into my awareness. 

Another example is that a field can accept information someone requests it to include, and can provide the relevant information requested from someone for some situation or matter. Sort of like a ChatGPT. More on all that in the blogpost on "uses" in this series.

When I've decided to tap into one ongoingly, all manner of related inspirations and synchronicities show up in my life. The explanation for why and how that is depends on one's metaphysics or cosmology, I suppose.

Do morphic fields ever go out of existence? From what I've read, probably not, because they are like pure vibrating information in the quantum field. Nor are they diminished in any way by being accessed and downloaded from, nor does the quality of the information signals in them degrade over time. 

I imagine one can go pretty dormant, however. A concert held 200 years ago, not photographed or filmed, and no one who attended is alive, would be a pretty dormant field. Yet if the music is still played by others, that concert field is still part of the field of the music itself. And if the concert changed someone's life in a significant way, their descendents are still involved in its morphic field.

Fields can be robust or vulnerable to being disrupted or disturbed, but that's a later blogpost.

To be in touch with a morphic field all I have to do is think of the subject-content and assume I am in contact. That works, and I will say more about that in a later blogpost in this series.

Yet my mind cannot grasp the whole of any morphic field. Being in contact, or tapping into it, is like reading a book in the library or reading a page on a website. And not just reading: it can affect me emotionally, but that's a later subject also.

Please ask any questions as a comment below so this explanation can become clearer and more complete! I'm not interested in debate, after 30 years of experience, so contentious or disrespectful comments will not be posted.

Turquoise Working Groups

 

Turquoise Working Groups

 

·       TURQUOISE we-spaces of a “working group” can have a profound felt-sense (to participants and observers) of calmness and serenity, but there can also be passion, urgency, and extraordinarily efficient operating toward a purpose (because in a way, the individual minds are “melded” into one, so differences and divisions when they show up are synergistic, not hindrances.)

 

·       TURQUOISE loves to spontaneously discover projects and people to work with in ways that include the systemic integrations found in YELLOW projects and go beyond to include “invisible realms” of phenomena that are perceived and influenced to produce results. (PURPLE “magic” is the roots of this, but in TURQUOISE there is far more knowledge of how the social and natural world works, as complex systems, and more consistently benevolent intent in the use of invisible forces.)

·       Even more profoundly than in GREEN, TURQUOISE is drawn to accomplishing practical, productive work in teams.[1] 

The characteristics of an individual who can work in teams composed of people predominantly in the TURQUOISE worldview might include these: 

• Automatically senses and works directly with group energies and energy flows
• Uses “invisible realm” actions/intentions/flow to accomplish ordinary outcomes such as purpose-setting, marketing outcomes, project management, etc. This is far beyond affirmations and visualizations.
• Is grounded with a balanced life, values physical life, health, and relationships
• Has a work/life attitude of creativity, playfulness, and joy, not hesitant to experiment and make mistakes
• Is a good “team player," with profound commitment to "working on the relationship" of the team itself, in high-consciousness ways

o   Is emotionally/socially mature, including not flaky or flighty, can keep agreements made (or inform others of changes in plans,) no sharp edges, no subtle hypocrisy, etc.

o   Can talk about use of energy techniques, has an intellectual framework for their work. 

Even though this ability to put things into words develops through the time spent maturing through TURQUOISE, by late TURQUOISE it is balanced by three realizations. 

§  First, that "there are mysteries in play behind the scenes" (quote from an editorial in Mysterious Ways magazine) that can simply not be understood in words, or by the mind, and sometimes can't even be sensed. The territory is that vast. So the person is content to only partially "know" what they are doing, or what's happening, or what the results are. 

§  Second, this means they understand that it is not their personal will, their personal manipulation of subtle energies, which is creating most of what happens and the results. 

§  Third, by late TURQUOISE there is a clear grasp of the contextual nature of word meanings, so whatever words they might use to describe what they are doing, their framework is always just an incomplete map. However (because they have matured through YELLOW and gained this skill already) they still can communicate something meaningful to almost anyone they choose to communicate about their work with.

• Always open, always learning
• Always engaged in emotional and spiritual growth
• Consciously in service to planetary or larger evolution
• Has significant skills and capacities from earlier stages, especially from BLUE, ORANGE, and YELLOW that keep energy work grounded
• Has significant flight-time logged in participating in higher we-space groups

o   Able to function on multiple levels and layers of reality/consciousness simultaneously, so the work is grounded and focused plus the detail work is grounded in vast spaciousness of cosmic evolution.  

·       Some individuals and groups mostly in BLUE work in “teams” composed of humans and angelic (or “demonic”) Beings. Some groups and individuals in GREEN teams also work with various invisible Beings as participants in the team, such as (echoed up from PURPLE) Nature spirits of various kinds, totem animals, or angelic or other “spirit-beings.”

A TURQUOISE team is likely to be found consciously relating to all of those as team participants, plus, possibly, ancestors, ascended masters, upper-dimensional (spirit-realm) extra-terrestrials, archetypes, morphic fields, and more. In TURQUOISE these relationships and interactions involve conscious practices of invocation and communication. In CORAL the integration of all those with the people—in their lives and work—is habitual, automatic, seamless.

 

If all this appeals to you, get in touch with me to explore possibilities!

[1] Many people long for community. The “cool color” worldviews especially include this longing. In TURQUOISE the longing is even more poignant because there are so few others who have matured into this stage; a person might go years without meeting anyone. 

Exploring New Conversations

Exploring New Conversations

Are you among the many people moving through Green and into Yellow/Teal who are getting impatient or bored with trivial, banal, "small-talk?" That seems to be one of the markers of this transition. It seems to me worthwhile to walk around this phenomenon and explore it from several angles. The risk I see is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Four kinds/levels/stages of conversation

One very rich and growthful angle is to study Otto Scharmer's "4 kinds of conversations" analysis. I cannot recommend your study of this strongly enough. (The linked page is a short introduction.)

May you be lucky enough to find a practice group built around this exploration, as I did. It was quite the eye-opener, to deliberately practice each of the 4 kinds of conversation and see what each did to my consciousness.

These 4 kinds of conversations represent a spectrum, or actually several spectra, of development, of purposes for the conversation, etc. They range from "talking nice" (no self-reflection, nothing new) to "debating" to empathetic yet subjective/inquiry-curiosity dialogue, to generative dialogue for co-creation, built on primacy of the whole and aimed at enacting emerging futures.

The function of smalltalk in online conversations

Another angle is to see whether there's a balance between "meaningful conversation" and seemingly useless trivia like acknowledging receipt of an email by a word or two. Let's dive into that.

It seems to be characteristic of Yellow-consciousness businesses and organizations that the small communications that used to be called "politeness" that "greases the social wheels" are common. 

Perhaps that's more necessary in online communications than skin-life conversations, where there is parallel subliminal body-language perceptible conveying the response to a communication. 

Online, the "netiquette" or "culture" in Yellow consciousness seems to be hitting Reply and sending a smile, or brief words like Got it, Wow, Thanks, Hmmmmm, or anything else, often conveyed via an emoticon--that all serves the purpose of letting the sender/speaker know their communication hasn't disappeared into the black hole of internet hyperspace.

The function of smalltalk for Wholeness and Bond-building

Yet another angle is to see that in Yellow consciousness, all previous stages can be drawn upon to form a richer, stronger relationship that is multi-colored. That means seemingly trivial "small talk" about seemingly trivial matters can actually be bond-building, by including all facets of our humanity in the relationship, whether it's about the weather or sports or our relatives. 

All four kinds of conversation in the Scharmer model have their usefulness for bond-building and as "community glue."

Is intolerance of smalltalk narcissistic?

Of course, we have a tolerance limit for trivial talk, most of us can attest. And I would suggest that the greater our intolerance of anything but "meaningful conversation," the more we might be exhibiting a regression to, or hangover from, the "what's in it for me" limited perspective of First Tier--rather than the diversity-embracing, bond-building perspective of Second Tier. 

A good question is: Am I focused only on what I personally find interesting or exciting, or am I sensing what the relationship might benefit from, given my purpose in the relationship, or given my caring for the other person?

Small-talking through the stages

I again strongly recommend reading and studying the reference above to the 4 kinds of conversations because they represent different stages in the development of consciousness.

"Greasing the social wheels" can start as relationship advice to the teenager (or as "say 'Thank You'" to the toddler) from mother in Blue, and continue in Orange from the perspective of a way of getting to my goals via other people. It can show up in Green as empathy, respect, and community-bonding. 

(We might even see it in Red as formal bows, ritual acknowledgments, and attempts to appear or behave as similar to others.)

In Yellow, it seems to have more a flavor of "we are a single system co-creating our shared purpose, so let's communicate as completely as we can, optimize our information flow, for that."

And perhaps in Turquoise, there is more of a felt sense of such responses to communications without the need for overt behavior, even in online situations. "I knew you got it, and I felt your response of amazement/puzzlement/annoyance....."

Can this be a meaningful conversation?

What else could be said for a "generative dialogue?" Leave a comment below!

Why Green is not just a minor transition phase between Orange and Teal

Why Green is not just a minor transition phase between Orange and Yellow/Teal*

I hear some folks interested in Teal organizations who are suggesting the view that Green is not a true stage of development but merely a transition phase. That view wouldn't be tenable after reading the original Spiral Dynamics book, in my opinion, but short of such a reading, here's my own attempt to respond, out of my own distress.

I've been distressed hearing that view because I feel it is dangerous: it will cause failure and suffering for those who attempt to live by it.** I'd like to try to articulate why I feel that way. I haven't the bandwidth now to go hunting for examples, but they are visible in the pages of Enlivening Edge Magazine. Perhaps you, a reader, can make a comment below with one.

Green is not only a full stage, it is the necessary foundation of the Teal stage. Green is the capstone of the First Tier, and the only basis from which one can move fully and healthily  into Second Tier's first stage, which is Yellow/Teal. It is the only healthy springboard into Second-Tier consciousness.

I think to view Green as a mere phase is to not fully "get" the huge difference between 1st and 2nd Tier, and the role of Green in making that difference possible. Green is where the heart comes online in human development, put most simply. It is a radical expansion of the capability of a wide circle of concern. It is, we could say, a huge move in widening individual ego's scope of concern, awareness, and care. 

Without that foundation, one cannot truly move into the scope of care and concern and awareness required for the leap into Teal/Second Tier, which involves building on that concern with wider systems-awareness, but with a quantum leap beyond any previous stage leap.

That's why Graves called it a Tier leap, not a stage development, between Green and Teal. Green still has the right-wrong, either-or mentality, despite how inclusive its values are. Green is, for example, very intolerant of intolerance. Teal and 2nd Tier is where inconsistencies like that disappear, for the first time in human development. Teal is the first FULL universality of care and concern. Because others are fully real in their wholeness, Teal develops a "both-and" synergistic approach to life.

Beyond Teal Organizations - What might a Turquoise organization be like - Part 2

Beyond Teal Organizations  -

What might a Turquoise organization be like - Part 2

Same topic as Part 1 of this exploration, different day, different angles.

I begin this exploration by saying that my descriptions are based on my actual experience as a participant in one organization and a number of groups operating from the Turquoise stage of consciousness -- experience over the last 5 years. I have also read about and heard about many other such groups, and a couple of organizations. So this description is not simply abstract theoretical conjecture.

Anyone exploring "Teal" stage of organizational consciousness probably has their own speculations, possibly based on enough experience within predominantly Teal organizations to both sense the limits of that stage, and the wonderful new characteristics emerging here and there, now and then. 

So this little bare beginning to meant as a conversation-starter, a catalyst, an invitation to sense into your own notion about what a Turquoise organizational consciousness might be like, and share that, so that we move along thereby to strengthen the Morphic Field/creative template of that which is available to humanity, hastening the day it appears in more of our experiences! 

I'm also interested in gathering stories about the "limits" experienced in organizations predominantly at Teal consciousness which prompt the evolution toward Turquoise functioning.

The "reality" in which the organization operates shifts, from people-actions-objects-relationships to fields of subtle creative energy which are the same as aliveness/consciousness and in which people, actions, relationships, and objects are expressions of the Purposes of Morphic Fields of conscious creative subtle energy. Those purposes are not fully knowable by the humans.

The organization metaphor is now Morphic Field.

The three breakthroughs might be:

1. Wholeness of individuals uplevels to Embeddedness/Connectivity/Oneness/Shared consciousness/Wholeness of the organization and its context-environment and the world/Kosmos.

2. Evolutionary Purpose uplevels to Transpersonal/Cosmic Purpose

3. Self-Management uplevels to Flow/Shared Consciousness

"The emergent future" becomes the touchstone for what people choose to sense and what guides actions, but actions are not "decided on," they flow as natural impulses and inclinations.

Coordination of actions and decisions for Purpose is done not in conscious awareness but in "super-conscious" or in the shared morphic field of awareness. This results in constant usual synchronicities and "miracles."

Beyond Teal Organizations - What might a Turquoise organization be like - Part 1

Beyond Teal Organizations -

What might a Turquoise organization be like - Part 1

The context for this exploration is the massive global movement energized by the publishing of Frederic Laloux's book Reinventing Organizations, in which, using Ken Wilber's developmental framework terminology, he traces stages of development of organizational consciousness through Teal/Yellow/Integral, characterizing the positive breakthroughs of each stage compared to the previous one.

Now "going Teal" is all the rage, and it might be time to take an exploratory peek ahead. What is the "next stage" after "the next stage?" What might a Turquoise organization be like? What might be the "Turquoise breakthroughs?" And what limits on Teal would prompt those?

Let's explore these questions. This is a helicopter trip around the tip of an iceberg. So much more could be said. But it's a question which is going to begin to arise as more and more organizations move toward Teal as their "next-stage consciousness." What's the "next stage" after Teal? 

Laloux's "breakthroughs" of each stage of organizational consciousness were discerned empirically, by his observing organizations and forming generalizations. There are really few Turquoise organizations, but I know of two, and am part of one, and have observed any number of Turquoise groups, so my descriptions are formed empirically from generalizing also. The descriptions might be sharper, probably are even "missing the point" in some ways. But I offer them as a springboard for those who think they might be moving beyond Teal somehow, and want a bit of a map to the new territory. (This video is Ken Wilber's delightful description of the functions and limitations of (verbal) maps of new territories of consciousness.)

My fervent hope would be for some map-makers to engage with one another to chart THIS territory as well. Some excellent maps already exist in the many articles and books emerging on "Higher We-spaces" from within the Integral community; those can easily be transferred to guiding us within new organizational territories. I'm just making a tiny beginning of doing that.

If the overall metaphor for a Teal organization is "a living system," then the overall metaphor for a Turquoise organization might be "a web/morphic field of consciousness."

Yellow to Turquoise, Individual to Collective, Parts to Whole?

​ 

 Yellow to Turquoise, Individual to Collective, Parts to Whole?

Hey, an insight which might prove heuristic for me and for you -- about the swings between individual-focus and group-focus as worldviews develop along the spiral.

I was contemplating a difference between Yellow and Turquoise. Yellow is focused on the health, wellbeing, getting-along, working-together, systemic harmonization, of EACH, EVERY, and ANY person or group of persons no matter where they are on the spiral. Yellow is coming from that perspective, and developing actual capacities to foster and achieve such purposes.

Turquoise, we might say, then focuses on the health, wellbeing, getting along, working together of ALL persons and/or groups. The shift is from Every to All. This is often listed as one instance of the swing along the spiral between "warm" colors which are characterized as more "individual-concerned" and cool colors which are more "group/collective-concerned."​ The word "whole" is often used with respect to Turquoise: focus on the whole planet, the whole of humanity, taking a holistic perspective.

However, I don't remember hearing anyone characterize the "warm" phases as focused on "parts of next whole." It is noted in Integral Theory that each "collective" gets larger in some ways (smaller in other ways) along the spiral, thus each "collective" transcends and includes the previous wholes which are now parts. Well, it seems to me that is what a new "emergent holon" is.

The insight which blossomed in my awareness this morning with respect to Yellow and Turquoise is that Yellow is developing its capacity to deal well with many parts. "Curating" them, if you will, to use a term I got from Marilyn Hamilton, author, consultant and movement-leader of Integral City (.com.)

With enough skill at fostering good working connections among the previous worldviews, among individuals and groups holding them, there is in the Yellow consciousness developing into Turquoise perhaps what we could call a "coalescing" of these into a new emergent Whole of subtle Energies of the planet which is then the focus of attention/work and the arena of development of new capacities at a new scale. Or we might language it as that there is a "zooming out" and seeing the individuals as an energetic Whole when viewed from "further out" (whatever that might mean; don't try to pin me down on it here!) in consciousness.

They turn out to be able to be seen as parts only in retrospect, of course; only when the new Whole is perceived, are the objects of attention, having capacities developed to deal with them, seen to be related in that way. At the time of the warm worldview, they are merely various objects of attention.

I just said "I don't remember hearing anyone characterize the 'warm' phases as focused on 'parts of the next whole.'" It could very well be that indeed Ken Wilber said this, or it was explicit or implicit in Terri O'Fallon's StAGES training I took last June. It has happened before in my life, that I read something, and then months or years later, it pops up as "new." So I might have encountered the seed idea, or in its plant or bud form, or even the blossom itself, previously. I'm open to discovering that.

For now, however, it seems quite logical to regard movement along the Spiral of development of consciousness as not only having the theme of individual or collective, but to further characterize the theme as parts or wholes. So perhaps we could say the times of the "warm" worldviews are times of developing capacities around managing certain parts of life, of experience, of the world, and then part of the natural movement into the next "cool" time is when so much familiarity with and skill with those particular parts, catalyzes a natural coalescing or zooming out, and the pieces of the puzzle are no longer pieces, they are part of a picture which is now seen, now grokked, even if quite implicitly.

The next steps in this exploration would be to try to characterize the "parts" involved in the warm worldviews, and their emergent Whole in the next cool worldview, all the way from Beige to Teal (first in First Tier, last in Third Tier.) That is a task for another day. I suspect it would not be a lengthy task. I'd look first to characterizations of the "scope of caring" of each worldview, for clues.

Whaddaya think? It makes logical sense, right?

And no need to get hung up that a worldview is not a holon; the term "holon" is used imprecisely when heuristic in many contexts these days, I notice, so I am comfortable with playing with it as a framework here. Maybe just "that which transcends and includes previous elements" would serve, but a single word is easier to use in discourse.

Playing with Turquoise We-Space Questions

Playing with Turquoise We-Space Questions

Sometimes, someone in any we-space I am co-occupying asks "How can we do.....?" or "How shall we do.....?" I've noticed that in attempting to answer the question, "I" shift my identity from the expansive "field" which is "through me as me," into the linear, separation-based, planning mind, whose response to the question is inevitably "Uuuuuhhhhhhh......."

And I suspect I am not unique in that experience. So what is going on?

I have suggested that not all "Second Tier We-spaces" are created equal, and that the Yellow kind is significantly different from the Turquoise kind, and that we might avoid or prevent many problems if we keep the differences clearly in mind, granted that characterizing an entire we-space occurrence by one color/stage is almost always a gross over-simplification.

If one fundamental difference between Yellow We-spaces and Turquoise We-spaces is the subjectively-experienced (UL) nature of the "I" or identity of each individual involved, and if that difference can be described as being one of a collection of individuals vs being a transpersonal energetic field of consciousness which is functioning through each individual yet is experienced by each AS their individual self yet heightened or amplified or enhanced -- then I wonder if a question as to "HOW" arises from or at least can be said to characterize, the Yellow consciousness rather than the Turquoise consciousness.

My reasons for suspecting that are as follows. 

In his nearly two decades of teaching, the spiritual teacher Adyashanti seems to me to have concluded that the frequently-asked-question "How can I......?" (fill in the blank with anything around spiritual development) is always and inevitably being asked by the separate-sense-of-self identity. Beyond the illusion of separation, both the question and the questioner seem to dissolve. He has observed this in thousands of people. After listening to dozens of his satsangs question-periods, I have learned to sense the same thing: where such a question is originating from/who is asking the question.

It also matches my inner subjective experience, as described above in one example.

This doesn't mean that in a Turquoise Wespace, one is cut off from the future or becoming aware of next steps toward a glimpsed future. I suspect that the version of "How can we.....?" which arises in a Turquoise Wespace might be something more like this: 

Everyone is "getting" a glimpse of a near or far future "reality" or possibility, and the question might arise, voiced out loud: "What is arising now in any of us which seems to point to that future? Are there insights or impulses to action which are arising/emerging in any of us now, which some or all of us resonate with and are moved to act upon? If so, let whoever is so moved, so act!"

Of course, which version of the question is posed, depends on which kind of Wespace it is dropped into and intended to be useful in. So the asker of the question might indeed be operating from a Turquoise consciousness in asking -- geared, Spiral-Wizard-fashion, for the intended effect on the intended recipients.

So, I am just noticing around this matter, and suggesting this as another "marker" or distinction between the two very different (IMO) Second-Tier Wespaces.

What are your experiences on these matters? Is there something which would be even more useful to focus on? What is arising in you right now around all this?
