September 5, 2004: Unusual Perceptions - Dr. Rupert Sheldrake


Listen Later

Dr. Rupert Sheldrake presents his groundbreaking theory of morphic resonance, which suggests that nature's patterns are maintained through mysterious fields rather than genetic programming alone. Could invisible organizing forces shape everything from crystal formation to animal behavior and human learning? Sheldrake, a Cambridge-trained biologist, challenges conventional scientific thinking by proposing that memory exists not just in brains but throughout nature itself. He explains how morphic fields could account for unexplained phenomena like simultaneous discoveries, the rapid spread of new behaviors in animal populations, and the sense of being stared at. The conversation explores evidence for morphic resonance in chemistry, biology, and psychology, including experiments showing that laboratory rats learn mazes faster when previous generations have already mastered them. Sheldrake discusses the implications of his theory for evolution, consciousness, and the fundamental nature of reality. He addresses fierce resistance from orthodox scientists while presenting data that suggests information can be transmitted across space and time through non-material means. The interview examines how morphic resonance might explain telepathy, precognition, and other psychic phenomena as natural manifestations of universal memory fields.
