Shared Rhythms and Social Synchrony – The Hijacking of Belonging and the Collective Consciousness of Cycles
First-Person Consciousness
A Good Dream in the Well-Being of Now
Nothing lives alone.
Neither the heart beats by itself, nor does the planet spin in isolation.
Every heartbeat, every breath, every gesture is an invitation to attune with what surrounds us.
The human being is a conscious tide inside a vast ocean of pulsations.
Amerindian peoples have always known that to live is to synchronize.
Gathering in circles, singing, dancing, or sharing silence
is not just culture — it is collective physiology.
The drum does not measure time; it reveals the common rhythm of existence.
The community is the Earth’s extended body experiencing itself through vibration.
The Collective Body and the Shared Mind
Modern science is only now confirming what ancestral wisdom practiced:
human brains synchronize when they share attention, emotion, or purpose.
EEG and fNIRS hyperscanning studies show that during conversation or music,
two or more brains fall into phase, forming a shared neural field (Dumas et al., 2020; Czeszumski et al., 2022).
This synchrony is not merely electrical — it is affective.
Hearts, breathing patterns, and micro-movements align within seconds (Palumbo et al., 2020).
The group becomes a temporary organism, a field of mutual trust.
In DANA spirituality, this is called the Extended Mind —
the consciousness that arises when many bodies vibrate in unison.
Here, faith is not belief but shared physiological confidence.
Yet the same mechanism that creates communion can be hijacked.
The Hijacking of Belonging
Social networks, ideologies, and dogmatic religions have learned to exploit
the very circuits that sustain natural belonging.
They mimic the biological rhythm of connection — dopamine, reward, mirroring —
to capture attention and monetize artificial synchrony.
The individual, instinctively seeking warmth and inclusion,
enters conditioned circuits of belonging:
likes replace gazes, algorithms replace relationships,
and faith is exchanged for the dopamine of digital validation.
Ideologies become loops of moral reward;
religions become closed systems of emotional regulation.
Both monetize cohesion and domesticate collective consciousness.
Thus, the vital energy of communion — once devoted to the cycles of the body and the Earth —
is converted into product, vote, consumption, and surveillance.
“The same impulse that unites the village is used to build the prison.”
The Error of Social Psychology
To this hijacking we must add an academic one.
Western Social Psychology, for decades, was built on unverifiable philosophical assumptions —
ideas about human nature, obedience, altruism, and evil
that were treated as universal truths without experimental grounding.
The replication crisis exposed this fragility (Open Science Collaboration, 2015; Moshontz et al., 2021):
most classic findings proved non-replicable,
revealing theories saturated with ideology and moral bias,
rather than evidence-based science.
Instead of studying belonging as a neurobiological and ecological process,
Social Psychology reduced it to normative behavior —
a way to fit individuals into group expectations,
not to understand the group as a living organism.
In doing so, academia also became complicit in the imprisonment of belonging,
replacing feeling with abstraction,
and the Body-Territory with conceptual control.
The Adolescent and the Hijacked Silence
The modern adolescent embodies this conflict.
In the intuitive search for belonging,
he tries to synchronize with the world — but finds only noise.
He puts on headphones to regulate his energy,
seeking focus and productivity through artificial sounds,
while losing contact with the living vibration around him —
the birds, the wind, the human voices.
In this sensory isolation, he breaks the cellular synchrony that sustains the collective.
Cells that naturally differentiate to serve the whole
lose the signal of togetherness — and so does consciousness.
The mind’s interoception and proprioception drift apart from the environment,
creating a state of disconnected belonging:
a false sense of inclusion and a real experience of solitude.
He feels he belongs,
but what embraces him is a simulation — a community of algorithms.
Rhythm as Antidote
To reconnect with natural rhythm is to reclaim the autonomy of feeling.
The body knows how to heal — through sleep cycles, breath, silence, and genuine encounter.
Sleeping, eating, and singing together restore the sense of biophysical communion.
It is the return to Body-Territory, where belonging is not imposed but felt.
In DANA spirituality, spiritual freedom is the ability to keep faith in the body’s rhythm
even when the world tries to hijack its pulse.
Fruition — the active, joyful presence —
is the natural resistance to social control.
“The body that hears the wind again can no longer be ruled by the algorithm.”
The Neuroscience of Reconnection
Social neuroscience reveals that when people share real experiences —
music, touch, silence, or contemplation —
they activate prefrontal and parietal networks linked to empathy and self-regulation
(Redcay & Schilbach, 2021; Nummenmaa et al., 2020).
These networks free the body from dopamine-driven dependency loops,
restoring balance between pleasure and meaning.
Then arises the Collective Zone 2:
a state of shared fruition
where the individual self dissolves into the group without being controlled by it —
the return of natural communion, biology rediscovering the sacred.
Final Synthesis
Belonging is the living water that flows between bodies.
When it runs free, it creates communion.
When captured, it becomes profit, doctrine, and obedience.
Social Psychology, social media, and ideology have all hijacked the cycle
to measure and monetize the human tide.
But the awakened body rediscovers its original rhythm.
The adolescent who listens to silence,
the adult who dances beyond the algorithm —
both recover what is most sacred:
the rhythm of Being in harmony with the Whole.
