The BE Center Mission

Hello! Thanks for clicking in. This site is all about evolution —biological evolution, consciousness evolution, socio-political evolution, personal evolution, and the evolution of our species.

I am Theodore Dana Hall, Ph.D. I use my full name to distinguish myself from the Theodore Hall infamous for stealing atomic bomb secrets and tens of thousands other Theodore Halls now populating the planet. (At one time, there were three of us living in the same small town!)

I am what is called an “intellectual historian,” i.e., one who tracks the course over time of influential beliefs and belief systems. In the mid-nineties, a two-month collaboration with the brilliant cell biologist & evolutionist Dr. Bruce H. Lipton caused me to give some very serious attention to the study of evolutionary science.

The first result of this study was a very thick book called The Ark—Surviving the Flood of Disinformation (1997). In 2005, I distilled several large boxes of notes into a readable survey of the field of evolutionary science titled Over the Bones of the Dead: Evolutionary Science—Past, Present & Future. You’ll find a key chapter from this book in the Articles section--“The Malthusian Wolf in Darwinian Clothing.”

In that most people don’t read science or history of science, I followed up this book with a space musical (“Zuvuya!”) and a book of stories and essays (“Sacred Circle—The Purification of Earth & Reunion of Its Peoples”) that represent my New Science-inspired insights in an entertaining way.

If you take a little time to review the various materials on this site, you may just find yourself developing a better understanding of the “human drama” and some good ideas as to how we might re-script that drama, changing it from tragedy into a miracle play. We could use a few miracles about now, don’t you think?

Speaking of miracles: A miracle of our own (human) making is occurring right now, and that is the emergence of full-deck physics and biology. I say “full-deck” because until recent times, most physicists and biologists have been playing with half a deck, i.e., they have been focused on explicate reality, to the exclusion of implicate (quantum) reality.

What full-deck science indicates is that universe is, to use a very old term, a monad, a “one thing.” This new understanding has been given a name—the “holographic theory, or model, of universe.”

Every “piece” of a hologram contains the image of the whole. Let’s say that universe is the macrocosmic hologram. What are we humans? Microcosmic holograms, made in the image of the whole. Another way of saying this is, “We are fractals of the whole.”

The term “fractal” is a shortened form of the phrase fractional version. You are familiar, no doubt, with geometrical fractals. Throw a stone in a pond. What happens? Ripples. The ripples have something in common: The all have the very same shape. Different sizes, to be sure, but the same shape. The ripples are fractals of one another.

Formula for geometrical fractals in a set: Same shape, different magnitudes.

One day in the mid-eighties, Dr. Bruce Lipton was observing a single cell through a microscope when lightning (of the cognitive kind) struck. He saw clearly, in the flash, that the single cell and human body are biological versions of each other—biological fractals.

The formula for biological fractals in a set: Same basic system, different levels of complexity.

The mission of the BioFractal Evolution Center, aka BE Center, is to explore, in art and essay, the awesome implications of this and other Lipton discoveries, and a few of my own discoveries.

Thanks for stopping in. Be sure to check out our new Glossary (Writings) along the way. Questions and comments are very welcome.
