The Prime Signal: A Cross-Traditional Convergence Study — Beneath Every Teaching, One Frequency
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) May 29, 2026 John Carter
An analysis of 53 primary texts from major world religious, mystical, and philosophical traditions identifies eight convergent signal categories: the interior location of the sacred, cyclical civilizational time, the universal Golden Rule as evolutionary strategy, the Earth as a living system requiring stewardship, the service-to-self versus service-to-others orientation binary, the unity underlying apparent diversity, the remnant survival archetype across reset/flood narratives, and the directionality of consciousness expansion as the core developmental imperative. The work argues these convergences represent independent arrivals at the same territory across thousands of years and every inhabited continent, encoding survival-critical information for stable human civilization. The mythology is examined against scientific correlates including paleoclimatology, evolutionary biology, game theory, and contemplative neuroscience.
