There is a network of information that streams through life within and around us.
Trees are one of the most beautiful examples of this network, incredibly able to thrive in dying soil. They do so by communicating not only with one another, but with the other species around them that are able to produce the nutrients they need.
This magic happens through the phenomenon of quorum sensing.
When quorum sensing is reached, a threshold of a population is passed and hyper intelligence becomes the norm. In this true synergistic development, an entire population becomes greater than any sum of its parts.
Which leads me to wonder: What would happen when we start quorum sensing as mammals? What would happen if humans would communicate more clearly through our thought processes?
Through quorum sensing, I believe we could all see that we are not each unique in consciousness.
To reach this level, we’re going to have to quiet our human minds long enough to listen to the nature that we are within. If we continue to let our distracting thoughts prevail, we’ll continue believing we are the ultimate beings who deserve to control life around us.
But if we can humble ourselves long enough to simply listen, we could open our minds to the possibility that we could quorum sense — not only with the macro life around us, but the micro life within us.
How acutely can we tune into the greater intelligence of Mother Earth?
How deep can our roots communicate with one another?
How can we create a new energetic flow within ourselves?
I’m encouraged to find out.
If we could maintain a humble listening status as a species, where we stop telling the world what we see and start listening to what she sees, we’ll have the space to view ourselves differently in this web of intelligence. Through quorum sensing, we’ll get to become a hyper-conscious, hyper-intelligent player and co-creator within our greater environment.
