    Good morning, Ted,

    I'm asking a somewhat simpler question: Are you saying that _organisms_
    'resonate' with previous similar organisms electromagnetically, or
    gravitationally? While masses attract each other gravitationally, does this
    mean that they 'resonate' in any way? And if you call this 'resonance', are
    you saying that gravity somehow links the organisms in a way that affects
    their physiologic evolution?
