“Prior to the onset of formally representational language in our species… there were a vast range of other senses and communications assets commonly available to us. The linguistic mind, it turns out, is peculiarly blind to such assets, because they are neither formal, nor properly representational. They would also comprise something of a direct threat to the authority of rationality and language themselces.

Science as we presently practice it, is generally concerned with physical mechanisms of action and function. For this reason, it, too, is blind to perhaps more than 90% of what is actually ‘going on’ in and as organisms and their relationships. This is because vast domains of this activity are not yet conceptually available to science and researchers. There’s more going on than we can (ever) make words about.

For just as in human communications, some 75+% of content is nonverbal (and this includes transports we have no idea of or language about yet), in nature, ‘most of origin and relation’ are either of kinds we have not yet imagined or somehow nonordinary.

Both rational thought and scientific skepticism would propose that there is either a physical transmission/reception transaction or that mind-to-mind communication is farsical. Yet organisms are unimaginably sophisticated and represent entirely unique forms of matter, »time, and energy in transforming configurations. Their actual complexity nearly demands a variety of senses and methods of communication that we have rarely dreamed of.

Skeptics may imagine that since organisms do not use language, and do not appear to receive our thoughts, that both we and they are unavailable to more direct and exotic (to us) forms of communication. And yet might in not be that our own minds are founded in precisely such exchanges? Could it not be that language and conceptual thought are merely a thin veneer neatly blanketing an ‘underworld’ of powerful and primordial senses and relationships?

The question is not merely rhetorical. Armed with this inspiration, the curious among us can, if determined, directly demonstrate this… and many accidentally do precisely this, regardless of their sometimes bizarre ideological explanations of their experiences or abilities.

The essential point of being within an organism is, in my view, dramatically capable of communicating directly with other humans and other life forms. This is my view because it is my experience, and I doubt it will ever be explicable, because it is of another order of behavior that has little to do with conception, and much to do with intimacy and emotion.”
