This force being a united realm of motivation that guides the organisms in some way. For example the human brain, the cell nucleus, or even the Internet are all forms of this brain phenomenon. The vortex, then, is the single point where all the minds combine. Visualize a swirling mass of energy around a vortex, where the point of consciousness becomes aware. The key here as that communication occurs.
Individuals communicate ideas to each other through a medium.
I would also propose from this theory that our individual cells have some sort of communication between each other which allowed them to organize and create large organisms through time. Setting aside all aspects of a creator or larger force for the moment, may it be possible that cells deserve more credit. When the cells sent each other ideas, they formed a kind of group consciousness which they didn't know about. Together they solved problems and built bodies which served such functions as collecting food, and moving around. If this happened in the ocean, they developed ways to swim the body around, on land they developed ways to stand from the ground to gain sunlight.
