My definition of faith has to do with it being a gift from God. Faith doesn't mean I know, faith is about being in relationship with God. The greek word used for faith in the New Testament can also be translated as belief and trust.
I define faith as something starting from God and belief and trust being a response that I have to what God gives. It is relational. In a sense it is no different than what a marriage is about - complete vulnerability, being with someone without knowing everything, and a oneness that is indefinable.
My Christian faith tends to lead me towards the mystics and their understanding of God and faith and trust. They often talk of a oneness with God. There's a great theological term for this - theosis. It is usually used in more orthodox settings, but I think there is great value in it. I would suspect this is the theological terminology for what you are talking about with the flow between synchronization and harmonization.
A recent book I read that I thought was pretty good was "Faith after doubt" by Brian McLaren. He uses the terminology of stages of faith, while recognizing the danger in such terminology. So much of Christianity is locked up in simplicity - dualistic thinking and belief about faith - right/wrong, us/them. Stage two is comlexity - meaning there are more than just two options but still you are trying to get somewhere. Stage three is perplexity - that is in the midst of doubt where everything is questioned. And lastly stage four which can be unity or harmonization. This is where you see the oneness of everything. There is a natural flow and order to things and it is not forced. In your example the antelope don't need to use force on other members of the herd, they just naturally working together because they have some kind of knowing that it is better for everyone that way and is natural. They have no need to fight nature.
Lately I've been thinking a great deal about the Hewbrew concept of Shalom. It can be translated as wholeness or completeness. And I think this relates a great deal with everything we have been talking about.
