A Biophysical Hypothesis of “Oneness”

" Throughout history, philosophers and mystics have argued that all people are deeply interconnected, usually attributing this to supernatural or spiritual forces. This paper proposes a speculative biophysical hypothesis linking longstanding human concepts of “Oneness” and certain anomalous or spiritual experiences to the Earth–ionosphere electromagnetic environment. The model, termed the Global Neurological Emanation Repository (GNER), asks whether biological electromagnetic and photonic emissions could interact with persistent terrestrial resonant modes in ways that permit limited pattern persistence or coupling. Recent observations of Earth’s ambipolar electric field, biological ultraweak photon emission, transient gamma-frequency neural activity near death, and state-dependent thalamic oscillations provide empirical findings that motivate specific components of the hypothesis, but none directly demonstrates GNER. The paper develops candidate mechanisms involving environmental coupling, biological signal persistence, individual neural sensitivity, and thalamocortical integration, and identifies experimental and historical tests that could constrain or falsify them."

" A NASA suborbital rocket mission (Endurance) successfully performed the first-ever measurement of Earth's ambipolar electric field (Collinson et al. 2024). Lead scientist Dr. Glyn Collinson described it as a fundamental energy field of our planet, just like gravity and the geomagnetic field. While its known function is atmospheric (it "puffs up" the ionosphere and drives the polar wind), its confirmation provides a tangible, planet-wide electrical structure. The Earth–ionosphere system already constitutes a naturally occurring electromagnetic resonant cavity, within which the Schumann resonances arise. The recently confirmed ambipolar electric field provides an additional large-scale electrodynamic component of the near-Earth environment. The GNER theory proposes that the interaction among the geomagnetic field, ionospheric electric fields, atmospheric conductivity, and the persistent Earth–ionosphere resonant modes may provide the physical environment in which biological electromagnetic information could, in principle, be retained or coupled."

" This idea of localized containment isn't without precedent in planetary mechanics. For instance, the Earth’s ring current provides a useful, though highly imperfect, analogy: The magnetosphere can sustain organized energetic populations within a large-scale electromagnetic environment. The hypothesis asks whether analogous persistence of information-bearing electromagnetic patterns could occur within the Earth–ionosphere system. This remains a hypothesis rather than an established property of the cavity."

" Recent findings from NASA's ICON mission confirm how this resonance cavity remains energetically active (Immel et al. 2021). ICON provided the first direct measurements of the ionosphere's electrical generator, or "dynamo," revealing that high-altitude atmospheric winds physically drive the electric fields that dictate plasma motion. Operating much like a planetary alternator, these winds generate power through 'contactless magnetic friction'—a phenomenon recently proven by the University of Konstanz (Ganss et al. 2019). Rather than simply dissipating this kinetic energy, the dynamo transfers part of the wind-driven energy into the ionospheric electromagnetic system. Within the hypothesis, this continuously active electrodynamic environment could provide the energetic background in which the proposed repository operates. Following geomagnetic disturbances, ionospheric conditions can begin recovering toward pre-storm levels on timescales of approximately one to two days, although the rate and extent of recovery depend upon storm intensity, duration, and location. Nwankwo et al. (2016), for example, observed post-storm recovery tendencies in D-region conditions through VLF propagation measurements."

" The GNER hypothesis proposes this relatively rapid physical recovery is significant: If the repository were established and it depends upon the configuration of the Earth-ionosphere electromagnetic environment, a major geomagnetic disturbance could temporarily disrupt that configuration even though the underlying ionospheric system subsequently re-establishes itself. Whether such disruption would merely modulate stored information or could erase or reorganize it remains an experimentally testable question."

" Within the GNER model, the Schumann resonance is provisionally treated as a possible environmental carrier or coupling condition. “Carrier” is used here as model terminology rather than as a claim that the Schumann resonance is known to transmit biological information. The Earth–ionosphere system is a driven, dissipative electromagnetic environment whose properties vary with atmospheric, ionospheric, geomagnetic, and solar conditions. Within the GNER hypothesis, these properties are proposed as the physical environment in which biological electromagnetic patterns might interact or persist. For GNER, the importance of this resonance is therefore not that it is assumed to contain a message, but that it represents a persistent planetary rhythm within which biological signals, if sufficiently coupled, might interact with the environment."
