Germinatrix Hypothesis

The germinatrix hypothesis states that there should be some portion in the genetic code of all living organisms that acts as a kind of “combination lock,” key-lock or receptor (analogous to hormonal receptors in the brain) that conjoins it to and makes it responsive to a particular and unique being, “soul” or “self.” The “soul” portion could inhabit some as yet unknown aspect, dimension, pattern or field of reality but through a combination or key that mirrors the organism’s genetic germinatrix, gets to also inhabit and “live through” the visible, physical organism.

According to the hypothesis, every “soul” or “self” would contain as part of its structure a unique “mirror” code or key which would be much like a fingerprint or retina pattern which would then be reflected in the germinatrix of the organism it currently inhabits. Through an as yet unknown mechanism, an organism’s germinatrix could presumably be imprinted into its genome at fertilization or carried by fertilizer cells (such as sperm in animals).

The germinatrix, whether imprinted in the genetic code or some other physical organic pattern, would provide a bridge between objective and subjective realities and potentially a route by which they influence one another and serve the greater unfolding and self-evolution of a living and responsive universe.

No Proof: For now, a "compelling idea"

The hypothesis as yet has no scientific proof and the tools, data, scientific methods and theoretical framework for its proof likely do not yet exist; the germinatrix component of an organism's genome might not be recognizable as such and might appear as simply random, garbled, obselete or otherwise multi-purpose code until a reliable theoretical framework predicts, expects and points to its existence and location. It's also possible that the germinatrix would exist in organic patterns, systems or fields other than the genome within the living body.

The idea is proposed by designer, builder and permaculture practitioner Mark Scott Lavin, who acknowledges that in scientific terms it is currently just a compelling idea received in deep meditation, but also that it could be a worthwhile origin point for discussion regarding how humans and presumably other living beings experience themselves simultaneously as unique bodies with characteristic senses that inhabit physical, objective space-time while also experiencing vastly creative subjective, inviolate and at least seemingly timeless inner realities as self-aware beings.
