Future Thinkers
We’re excited to host Rupert Sheldrake in this episode, a biologist and author best known for his hypothesis of morphic resonance. Besides getting into the details of this hypothesis, we also talk about paradigm shifts in science, psy phenomena, experiments in consciousness, and about his new book called “Ways to Go Beyond And Why They Work,” where he describes some of the most well known spiritual practices for altering consciousness.

Thnx from Saint Petersburg, Russia. Sometimes Rupert is better than Bohm. Course of he is… never mind.
I like the idea of a consciousness field.
I would love to see a debat/conversation between mister Sheldrake and Matt Dillahunty. That would expose who is actually inyerested in the empirical evidence and who feels the need to push their dogma against it.
I dont recall you winning the James Randi Challenge or being a famous scientist why is that??
Isn't science supposed to be open about things that seem to be different? Because some atheist materialists that believe that they've figured almost everything out sounds like they're arrogant and biased. I'm not a scientist and I'm not trying to say scientists are wrong but to be a real scientist with a scientific attitude, they have to be open-minded, currious, willing to be challenged, and willing to do hard work. It's not a scientific attitude if they are biased, arrogant, unwilling to be open-minded or challenged, and tries to debunk or ban other ideas that questions their paradigm!
Excellent interview. The subject of panpsychism and universal consciousness has fascinated me for years. One question I wish Sheldrake would address is why some people are predisposed to thinking outside the box compared to the majority of people that accept being indoctrinated into a traditional worldview, and how that fits into his theory of morphic resonance.
The interview ended somewhat abruptly! But very valuable contents and also good intervention from the hosts.
Very familiar with R. Sheldrake's work. Hes way ahead of the curve so to speak. Recommend watching series OA on Netflix for those who need to expand there awareness of possibility. Oh and quick question. what are you guys shooting your three ways with? Special software or app your using?
This idea of morphic resonance sounds somewhat similar to Jung’s idea of the collective unconscious. In a way Jung’s idea was to some extent proven correct by the discovery of epigenetic markers and their influence.
I'm very skeptic towards these type of things, but I'm also open minded, and after watching the video of the dog and how the experiment was set up, I was truly amazed. I do however think this experiment should be replicated with other dogs, maybe with different levels of "attachment" to their owners. Thank you for this podcast, it seems there's so much do discover in this field.
Wow so much woo woo from this guy, my chopras are tingling all over my deepaks
