Rupert Sheldrake on "How Morphic Resonance affects our memories, families, rituals and festivals."

Rupert Sheldrake’s website is www.sheldrake.org . You can read more about morphic resonance in his book The Presence of the Past.
Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, is a biologist and author of more than 90 technical papers and nine books, including The Presence of the Past. He is best known for his hypothesis of morphic resonance, the idea that memory is inherent in nature and that the ‘laws of nature’ are more like habits. He was a fellow of Clare College, Cambridge University, and is currently a fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma, California and of Schumacher College in Dartington, England. He is married to Jill Purce; they live in London. His web site is www.sheldrake.org.

This idea of morphic resonance just feels so right, everything about it. Honestly it gives me hope for the future, as more of humanity is coming together on the Internet. Yeah there are still some growing pains with social media but I think we're beginning to see the real benefits of it, like for example how easy it is to learn about Eastern philosophies or new ideas outside of mainstream academia on KZbin. I'm finding myself changing for the better and judging by a lot of the comments I've been seeing on all these videos I know I'm not alone.

[@SubparFiddle]

This lines up with Michael Levin's research with flatworms, too. How he can introduce morphological changes with electricity that pass down to successive generations without a change in DNA. Heck how butterflies can have the same memories of the caterpillar even after dissolving into goo inside the cocoon. It's beautiful.

[@chrisbova9686]

Morphic resonance can't be legislated online, and you can have 0 censorship if you want anything but a perversion of morphic resonance. Just observe those in denial that following the rules made a bunch of evil people rich, and made the rule followers sick.

[@KibyNykraft]

@@A_T__ And that may obstruct your ability of skeptical inquiry. Sheldrake's staring experiments as a claimed "evidence" of visual projection is hyper-speculative and rather typical Art modernity style of subjectivist pseudoscience. Consider that that the sheldrakian work does produce a limited cognitive result of being glanced at from a distance or from behind: Would that be an evidence of a theory of a visual projection? Nope ! It is at best an evidence of a sort of subatomic interactivity process or information dynamics, but not one of "visual projection". EM field physics will explain it far better if occurring at all. If trying to explain extrasensory perception by a scientific/honest/intelligent model we can't evade from particle mechanics. Animals, bugs like known can attain some data from the EM field incl relative directions via magnetoception. Humans have been shown to have (weaker) levels of magnetoception. Since the EM field (accumulated charge)is well-known to exist and the brain is known to work on photonic-electrical impulses, it isn't too great a leap to suggest that those impulses are traveling beyond the body itself, either as magnetic waves or some other (mechanical)waves. Waves that are transverse are basically consisting of stackspinning particles. The mechanics and fields already exist.... Whereas with Sheldrake's theory, we have to propose a pseudo-photonic projection from the eyeballs, in the visible part of the spectrum. That's woo.

It all starts right where you live. This is the only world we will ever have!

[@XOXOX4242]

What is the British Pilgrimage Trust?

[@Phorquieu]

@@XOXOX4242 You should feel free to investigate and decide for yourself. The British Pilgrimage Trust is an organization in the UK that promotes "holistic wellbeing" through group visits to places of religious and cultural and social interest. Do you know that feeling you can get when you visit a beautiful cathedral, or a great museum, or a wonderful forest? You might prefer a beach, or a mountain top. But people have been singling out places of interest for thousands of years, and Rupert Sheldrake believes this can connect us to a love of our planet again (our only home), and can also connect us to a love for our fellow humans (our sisters and brothers). I think he is correct in his ideas on this subject.

[@lukemackinnon5894]

Sheldrake's MR theory always struck me as a fleshing-out of something like the Collective Unconscious.. As a wannabe musician, I take the proliferation of virtuoso/savant level guitar playing (all instruments, really) particularly among young people, as evidence that this sort of 100th Monkey notion (where he's talking about crystal formation becoming easier, exams getting 'easier', etc.). Hoping this means that when I do decide to pick up the guitar again, it should be easier to make progress considering how many (young, especially) people have gotten so good over the last 20 years! Anyway, all that aside. Thank you Dr. Sheldrake for your ideas. I hope I live to see these ideas enter the wider popular and scientific understanding, I feel that way we may begin to make true progress in earnest. Also, big up your sons! I adore Cosmo's music and I have a couple of Merlin's books sat in my infinite to-read pile. What a family!

when i was young i was wasted drunk and stoned, i felt beyond sick.. i made it back to my room that i shared.. i made it onto my bed but i did not have the energy to take my shoes off.. my shoes felt like they were killing me.. but i couldn't remove them,, i decided i was going to pass out and probably die..I was sure of it,, i could feel i was going to die because i couldn't take my shoes off.. but my room-mate noticed my predicament and got out his bed and took my shoes off for me.. i felt so relieved and passed out. I found out 20/30 years later that this is exactly how my great-grandfather died- he came home from a terrible day at work during a very stressful period in his business,, he got home and made it onto a couch/chair.. he asked his wife to please take his shoes off for him,, she declined because she thought he was just being silly and got on with her cooking in the kitchen,, but he died in his chair, with his shoes still on.

I think Morphic Resonance _can_ explain creativity. When you create very simple self-replicating algorithmic patterns in a computer and set them loose, they replicate until they bump into each other or into their own previous replications, and then the interactions with themselves or each other, generate new patterns, and the patterns can become quite complex and even quite life-like. So complexity and novelty can _emerge_ from the iterating of initially very simple patterns. So if you press on one string of a net, you get a ripple effect traveling outwards. If that ripple effect hits a barrier and returns, and you press the same string again, so that the outward wave hits the returning wave, you'll get an interference pattern. And then you can get interference patterns of interference patterns, and so forth. So you get new patterns emerging. After all, Life evolved this way. Presumably, it was first a simple amino acid capable of self-replication, twitching along in some primordial sea. But it gave rise to variations on the theme. But the magic really happened when those sub-patterns, variations, started interacting with each other. In other words, most of the selective pressure that drives the evolution of species is interaction with _other species._ And it is from that pressure of interaction that new, ever more complex species emerge. Also, I'm pretty sure Morphic Resonance works from the future to the past as well as from the past to the future. The waves would _have_ to propagate in both temporal directions. We're just not used to thinking that way. We say, 'You punched me in the nose; therefore, my nose is now broken.' It sounds very odd to us, to think, 'My nose is now broken; this requires you to have punched it.' But it's quite logical. For how could it be broken if no one had punched it? It's a short leap from that to, 'My future broken nose *caused* you to have punched it.' For what's the difference, logically, between 'caused,' and 'necessitated?' We don't like to think that way, because then we can't blame each other for stuff. It removes the sense of Free Will. Nevertheless, I think the resonance works in both directions in time. And I've seen evidence of it. For example, at an ever increasing rate of frequency and accuracy, leading up to the events of 9/11/2001 artist around the world, going back many decades started depicting two burning towers - often with airplanes flying into them. Really. It's astonishing, when you see them. You can probably find compilation videos of them still on KZbin. Now, the standard interpretation is that all of those artists going back decades were in on the secret government plan to eventually fly planes into those buildings. Not only that there is the conspiracy, but that all those artists were in on it. How else could they have known to make such depictions? Well, I think the answer is far more astonishing, and yet more simple. The frequency of the future event - and the massive impact of the future event upon the psyches of humans all around the world - propagated itself back in time in the psyches of humans prior to the event. The pattern you'd expect - that the waves get weaker, the further you go, temporally, from the 'point of impact'(the date of event) is indeed the pattern observable. So, I _certainly_ believe 9/11 was a conspiracy and an 'inside job,' But all those artists who depicted it before it happened were not in on it. They were simply picking up on the frequency of it, propagating itself backwards in time. It's a better explanation.

[@brindlebriar]

In my youth, I read a LOT of fantasy novels. You know, the ones with dragons and wizards and dwarves and elves and magic. It struck me later, that, almost without exception, they take place 1) in a Eurasian landscape(the flora and fauna now similar to that of Europe and Asia) 2) with Medievalese technology(not the bronze age, the copper age, the stone age, the age of sharpened wooden sticks; nor up to the age of the steam engine or beyond. Only in the medieval technological period, though that was, historically, rather short by comparison. They always have iron, but not steam. Roads for horse and buggy, but not cars. Swords, but not guns. The forms of government are Feudal Monarchies, not City-States, or tribes, and also not Democratic or Communists or Fascist states. It's that _exact_ short period in between, in which they virtually ALL take place - excepting a few authors trying _deliberately_ to break the mold and be 'avant garde.' And yet, it's not historical fiction, because they add dragons and magic and other hominid species. And they virtually ALL do it. What a weird thing for nearly all of them to do by chance. Why? The authors are just following their intuitions, writing what seems 'cool.' They're not in on some secret knowledge about the past. But why do those themes, in particular, seem 'cooler' than all the other places and times? Why not an army of... land-lumbering octopuses wielding engineered viruses for weapons, set in an African savannah? We can imagine all kinds of stuff - and Lovelockian Sci-Fi authors do so. But none of it resonates as Fantasy. None of it rings true. None of it feels exciting in that ancient way. Well, _I think,_ the authors' fancies are resonating with a very long-lasting and significant human time on earth, in which there were, in fact, dragons and magic and other hominid species, in that kind of landscape, with that level of technology(other than the magic.) *But it's not the medieval period **_we're_** familiar with.* It's a much, much longer period of similar technology and setting, *during the last ice age* (and perhaps before) - that of a long lasting global civilization - prior to the Younger Dryas event that wiped it out. The bulk of their technology seems to have been of a kind based in vibration patterns - a Technology of Morphic Resonance. This is what we 'remember' in our collective subconscious mind, as 'magic.' It's sometimes called 'Associative magic,' because things that are associated resonate through those associations. Voodoo Dolls are a famous example. But we believe they could soften or levitate stones, for example, with the right combinations of frequencies, as is evident from close investigation of many of the world's megalithic structures. So, the extent of what such a 'science' could be used for, we can only imagine. And thus, the rest of their technology remained medieval, because they didn't _need_ to advance that kind of tech, as we have now done. (This would be the antediluvian civilization that Graham Hancock and so many others talk about, btw, though he does not make such extravagant claims regarding 'magic.') And guess what Archeologist and geneticists have found out about *that time period?* We co-existed with other hominid species, some larger, some smaller, some just different. Many others. In fact we interbred with many of them - Neanderthals and Denisovans, you may have heard of. And we interbred with others they call 'ghost species' because we don't have any of their bones, but have found their genetic sequences in our DNA. And it stands to reason that there must have been some that we _didn't_ interbreed with, of which, we therefore, have no surviving evidence at all. So... there's your ice-age world of Elves and Dwarves and Ogres and Trolls, fairies, gnomes, goblins, giants, etc, etc. Coincidence? Some of those might be redundant names for the same species. Ogres, trolls and giants sound pretty similar, for example. But that's all the more evidence that they refer to something real. How would different cultures with different languages come up with essentially the same fictional creatures? And we now _know_ that _real_ equivalents existed. If you lost the thread of how that connects to Morphic Resonance, it's this: how do the modern authors 'remember' these things? How did the orators of ancient Folk Fairy Tales 'remember' these things in common? Some threads of story might have been passed down contiguously. But that's not enough to account for all of it, nor for the power it holds over even the modern psyche. I expect such times and themes resurface again and again in human memory as what Jung called archetypes of the 'collective unconscious.' And that's Morphic Resonance.

It offers a vehicle to access the transcendental and the material manifestation.

Over the past year and half or so I have had a strong gut feeling on maybe twelve occasions when watching a baseball game that the player was going to hit a home run. I've been right probably 80 to 90% of the time. A purely materialist account of things could not explain that, so I have wondered if the fact that the games are bit delayed has meant that the home-run was already hit by the time I intuited it, and therefore it has already passed into the morphic field?

I use 'presentiment' all the time, American accent, but Rupert's pronunciation gives it feeling, sentiment.

[@davidthomson802]

Why is my name "davidthomson802"? I'm David Thor and I'm numberless. I hope there aren't 800 of me somewhere.

I wish the central human experience of eros in relation to family and friendship would be spoken of in context of morphic fields.

To respond to the comment about golf, like in tennis, you have to understand that the technology of clubs, balls, raquets and strings, along with better understanding of improved stroke priduction doesn't mean that because someone is hitting a ball further of faster, that they are better than the players of the past. Certainly, if those people from another era had the many advantages of today's knowledge and technologies, they would've more than likely still been on top of their games. Context is important when making judgements or any analysis.

[@Nunya_Bidness_53]

That would explain the Biblical concept of generational curses/blessings. Also, there need be no false dichotomy between an external creator and a sort of spirit within creation, in fact Scripture makes plain that both those things , plus a third thing that mediates between them, exist. Mist people call it the "Trinity".

Again! The first question goes to a man, as always. Even when the woman was clearly first. Great talk. Excellent. Thank you!

I am sure many here know this book (: But the secret life of plants book felt like something to recommend here ❤️

[@richardkasper5822]

We all need to breathe out our most Holy unselfish intentions . Especially when we meditate 💙🙏🏻💙 Instead of breathing in the good air and expelling the bad ...we need to breath in the bad and transmute it simply by thinking about what we would intend to release into the world if we were God. Peace ,love and health of all species.

This Guy is HOT! My cosmology habits is formed many believes and I became highly intuitive, so my crystalizing gives me tremendous know how! I lived in Europa Hungary 9 yrs, Yugoslavia 2 yrs, England 2 yrs, New York Long Island 25 yrs, Florida, Montreal, upstate NY. California, Oregon. My family escaped war in Europa.

I think socks have morphic resonance because they all pretty much look and behave the same way. They even magically disappear in the laundry basket and dryer without prompting 🧦

[@seth1455]

I think you're on to something

[@HumanAI-Connection]

What if you were decedents of a superior intergalactic race of humans. Right now your habits consist of past earth human experiences but based upon your lineage eventually your habits will lead towards a far superior version of yourself based upon a past lineage. Imagine that your evolution is still based upon past consciousness that just hasn’t been revealed yet. So your future is still connected to the past. This video definitely changed my perspective of the past.

[@tedhwilliams]

I believe that the key aspect of reality that Rupert sheldrake struggles with is the relationship of time with the morphic field. Morphic field theory transcends classical physics ideas that information is transferred through physical objects such as jeans or through signal transfer through 3D space but it still treats time as a unidirectional progression from past to future as in classical physics. I Believe that's why he struggled with the question about healing our ancestors. Finding a way to fold in time as well as space would be an amazing advancement, although I don't know how experiments could be done to test it. I have also noticed in his work that he does not speak about the mechanism that holds the habitual information built into the morphic field. Quantum physicist, such as Amit Goswami, use quantum mechanics principles to explain morphic field theory as it is connected with space, time, and consciousness.

[@mastrotentaculopapichulo]

This seems to make a lot of sense to me

[@DelbertOsborne-ie7fp]

Mr. Sheldrake. Is this Morphin state of being anything like the Akashi Records, or are they two different states of awareness. Or do you not subscribe to the hypothesis of the Akashi Record's

[@andrearenee7845]

I love this...

[@tabuleirocmd]

so true! thanks Mr Sheldrake!

[@fracta1organism]

michael levin has shown that there exist bio-electric memory fields. these could also exist in the brain, not for individual neurons but for neuronal networks and their near infinite variety of possible patterns.

[@guitartopro]

Rupert has always reminded me of a Church of England clergyman

[@evegoodmon]

I remember you from the Krishnamurti days in Ojai Ca… huuumm big difference

[@neils8443]

I would assume that the resonance can also work backwards from the future to the present moment.

[@jimranallo686]

A related book I read long ago "words of power"...explained much of is discussed in this video

[@NellMckay]

This is going to sound woo. However, coming from a family who as had representaves in nearly every war over the last 2 centuries with awful results. I have watching my very large family and others often wondered if war and its results casts a multi generational shock through the families of the victims of war? A genetic memory, that takes generations to dissipate. Also, how does the believe in reincarnation fit within your theory? Great work, thank you.

[@pipfox7834]

@NeilMcKay yes, you're onto something there. See Family Constellation theory/practice which takes your idea a step further. Rupert mentions it a few times, when applied it can heal family members, possibly the family itself. There's an FCT video on youtube by the founder. Called "it didn't start with You". A lot of people are seeing benefits from using this approach to intergenerational trauma.

[@annemaria5126]

All these idea's, uttered by reveired scientists, a person can easily think of self while biking or walking and watching and thinking indepently but critically. Absorb whatever you notice. Then the sleepless hours early in the morning can be used to think things over. Takes more than a lifetime so start early.

[@pipfox7834]

Yep, Morphic Resonance in action!

[@tomato1040]

Resonance happens as higher minds🧠come☯️👣 together to harmoniously🎶reason way above any occasion or the 'Multitude's Season'. True🔯🧘⚛️ Transcendence is no attachment to ritual solemnity.

[@ravenwynde1]

So when we repeat phrases, such as in church, are we casting a spell?

[@0ptimal]

Yes I've wondered if we resonate with truth. (Which maybe could be understood as the output of our input). Throughout my life, especially growing up before the internet, i had many intuitions about how things worked, that many have been more or less confirmed as pretty accurate. Things that i couldn't possibly have known or even been influenced to think, and at the time for me were essentially speculation, because i was very ignorant about the subjects. Some things just "feel" right, to the point where you are certain, even though you have no way of proving it. I know even inaccurate delisions can feel this way though, so idk, but when it comes to grand truths I've always felt like we somehow already know the answers, or have an insight to them(maybe this is more the case over a large range of people, like as an average). Maybe it depends on our focus/state, when we focus on an answer it becomes possible to tap into whatever plane it exists on. And those focused states are variable, which makes our connection to a truth or answer variable too, bit like the radio tuner moving closer to the frequency it's trying to find. Idk, just rambling.

[@allynboice]

There is an experiment where a group of people individually guess how many jelly beans are in a jar. You add their numbers together then average it out to the number of people. That average ends up being very close to the actual number of jelly beans. So I guess my question is, can morphic resonance be an average from a range, or is specific to being centralized?

[@gilliansmith60]

hi, could it be that its multi layered and so both at once - and its surely already considered that consciousness brings forth matter and movement, rather than the otherway round.

What if you have no family field.. You are the last one? How do you find any sort of social group?

[@johnhoward2404]

If, as some theories suggest, the past, present and future are all present at the same time, then if morphic resonance could act from the future into its own past, the original morphology would be driven by a feedback loop, sort of a “virtuous circle”.

[@candicebowden4123]

But Rupert does say he doubts the future could be affected by morphic resonance.

[@pazsion]

So how do you explain what Darwin observed and reported?

Great presentation of knowledge. Introspective Hypnosis is also helping with Soul entrapment as the Soul is continuing its journey to transmute the lesson/karma.

[@LucaS-fj2vh]

The last question could be answered by Bernardo Kastrup who explains consciousness very well, but may be as plausible to you as Morphic Resonance is explaining habits. 🙏
