Radionik Verlag - IRT - The distinction between Sheldrake and the IRT

3.3. The distinction between Sheldrake and the IRT

The IRT adds that an aerial photograph can also be considered as a resonator. Here, the concept of similarity is of overriding importance. Structures of similar form will resonate. An aerial photograph of a forest resembles the forest in reality. What at first glance looks like a random compilation of black, grey and white dots, is actually a unique pattern that renders a true-to-life representation of a particular reality. The dots simply cannot represent anything else. In this way: the photograph and the forest are very similar. For this reason, an aerial photograph or detailed topographical map can be considered as resonators, that will resonate with the forest or ecosystem they represent.

The resonator, in this case an aerial photograph, can be pictured as an antenna, that tunes into the morphic field of the forest it corresponds to. A comparison to radio waves is appropriate. In our homes, and everywhere for that matter, there are great numbers of radio waves of which we are unaware. But with a good antenna, we can receive any radio station. Suddenly Radio Hong Kong, or Moscow fills the room.

The same holds true for morphic fields. The nature of these fields is still completely unknown. Sheldrake takes them to be patterns in space and time. In point of fact, these fields are present everywhere in the here and now. To get in contact with them we need a good antenna, that is a resonator. This can be a blood spot, a tree leaf or an aerial photograph.

Interestingly, just like an antenna on a roof must be turned for optimal reception, experience shows that a resonator must also be turned to a precise position for optimal resonance with a morphic field. The exact position that obtains optimal resonance with the morphic field, is analogical to Abrams' Critical Rotation Point (CRP). By turning the resonator, the aerial photograph, into the CRP, contact is made with the forest's morphic field, which enables the transfer of information.

So here is a second distinction between Sheldrake and the IRT. Where Sheldrake maintains that only blue tits have the ability to resonate with a blue tit morphic field, the IRT holds that man too can come into resonance with a blue tit morphic field, provided he has a good resonator and the right rotation point. Radionic equipment will help to discover the critical rotation point and convey information through the resonator. Resonance therapy is based on this form of information transfer.
