Ambassador Michael Gfoeller is a distinguished American diplomat, scholar, and innovative thinker with a 26-year Foreign Service career (1984–2010). Serving in Warsaw at the Cold War’s end, as well as in Moscow, Riyadh, Manama, and as Deputy Chief of Mission in Saudi Arabia (2004–2008), he navigated complex political dynamics in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. As Senior Political Advisor to General David Petraeus at U.S. Central Command (2008–2010), Gfoeller shaped Middle East and Central Asia strategies. After his retirement from government service, Gfoeller advised ExxonMobil, consulted for Henry Kissinger, and lectured at Georgetown University. An accomplished scholar, he has authored books on the traditional architecture and antiquities of Armenia, where he has established an archeological foundation and museum. His recent books of mathematical philosophy include Consciousness is Curvature (2025), which models human and artificial intelligence as dynamic geometric curvature in informational spaces, inspired by relativity and quantum theory. He has also authored Faster Than Light (2025), which explores how recent advances in theoretical physics can enable feasible interstellar travel, inaugurating a new Age of Exploration that may never end.
Resonant Memory is a revelatory inquiry into the mathematical laws that govern history. The confluence of two revolutionary conceptions lies at the heart of this exciting new book by veteran diplomat and polymath Michael Gfoeller. On one side stands the theory of morphic resonance, which says that memory is inherent in nature. Decades of research, experimentation, and reflection back up this notion. On the other side stands a bold extension of spacetime geometry: the idea that time itself is three-dimensional, and physical reality is a six-dimensional manifold in which three dimensions of space are partnered with three of time. Merging these insights leads to a profound discovery: memory is indelibly linked to time, and the fabric of three-dimensional time is the parchment upon which nature’s memory is written. History is governed by mathematical laws, but not by the mathematics of Descartes, Newton, and the materialists who followed in their train, with their vision of a clockwork cosmos. Instead, a handful of elegant equations governs the morphic universe, with a mathematics both beautifully precise and inherently mysterious. In the world of morphic resonance, there will always be room for mystery and miracles, for uncertainty and creativity, for renewal and unexpected beauty. Resonant Memory unlocks the door to it all.
