Entangled Lives: Merlin Sheldrake

[@jankielven4767]

"We have a responsibility to be curious about the world we live in." Yes. Thank you.

[@williamoarlock8634]

Not a natural propensity then?

[@jankielven4767]

@@williamoarlock8634 Both. Many have the propensity but only intellectually or emotionally so, and never move out into the world to experience that which they were curious about. The responsibility is to broaden the definition of 'curious'.

[@joelarkin3714]

Holy Shit Oarlock. I know what you're thinking.

[@sebastianverney7851]

It is fascinating to see the son of two people one knows so well, and to see how, in his body, mannerisms and ideas, he is such a fusion of his parents.

[@artofaspiritualnature]

Merlin's book is awesome and his father Rupert Sheldrake is an incedible biologist; much respect to both!

[@artofaspiritualnature]

And great respect to his mother, Jill Purce, too! Merlin is a wonderful stable 'blend' of their talents and knowledge!

[@Queef_Inhaler]

And his brother Cosmo Sheldrake is a great musician too. Very talented family indeed!

[@We-Do-NOT-Consent-303]

Yes, I agree and i wish Terrence McKenna was still with us.

[@bardicacademic]

Mind-blowing research and a lovely interview. We are all inter-connected. A challenge to discretist thinking, selfish behaviour, and indeed to the dominant neoliberal paradigm. To say we could learn a thing or two from fungi is a vast understatement - they have survived and thrived for millions of years through mass extinction events. Mutualism seems to be the paradigm shift we need.

[@MichaelCarmichael]

Merlin Sheldrake opens a new vision of the beautiful complexity of our enigmatic world - Bravo!

[@Jimmy-el2gh]

Merlin radiates such a pleasant energy doesn't he?🙏

[@mortalclown3812]

What a cosmically delightful human.

[@georgemansell]

I'm completely enthralled with this and the work of Merlin Sheldrake. Astonishing, to say the leas. Bright moments

A beautifully entangled conversation!! Thank you both of you!!! And I LOVE the book...most most fascinating ..

Love this! Thank you. So good to listen to something that does not focus on the human.

Merlin sounds so like his Dad. I bet he gets sick of hearing that. Great guy. Sounds like fungi will be just fine.

[@Waypastpoint]

In the mists of reading the book, I am enjoying the education as much as I can grasp. This was an amazing interview and the Newton tree cider story. fantastic interview thank you is all i can say.

[@jaybrown5525]

Thank you for being the web because the web of the blooming threads we all know get entangled how to make something beautiful happen

[@d.aardent9382]

"Soil food web" is the next larger step from this also. I can't recall the scientist in Oregon who has written books on this biological research. I studied this for biodynamics gardening horticulture work i did for many years. Its about the interrelationship of all the microorganisms in the soil and how it all works together. Minerals energetics and chemicals, nematodes, bacterias, fungi, plants roots. Its really amazing interactions and sharing and interchanging things.

[@safarwisby8073]

So exciting and wonderful to listen to you both! Have read your magnificent and inspiring book...thank you! We wait for you to continue!!

[@Sloppatola]

I stubbled upon your channel looking for fungi. A fantastic interview and I look forward to viewing more here. Thanks :)

[@Pwnzistor]

Your brother makes great music!

[@truthmatters3449]

Captivating thoughts!!! But I wish? The sound would have been more --- "there"?? Maybe my phone?? But it as almost at a whisper level. The benefit of such??? My passion! To hear it? Called my attention? At a much higher level!!!! Wonderful!!!

[@dimethaltryptamine1]

I bought a copy of the book assuming that a book on fungi by someone called Merlin Sheldrake would be likely related the the author of another book I bought around 6 months ago called 'Science & Spirituality' by Rupert Sheldrake! I'm so lucky i took the gamble but as i haven't started it yet but after watching this it's next on the list after I finish 'Metazoa' by Peter Godfrey-Smith PS A friend of mine gave one of our cats 1/2 a black dot LSD trip in the mid '70's & the cat absolutely LOVED it!!

There are individual Mushrooms. I can hear them talking to me telepathically sometimes when I am foraging. Some of them want to stay there and they tell me when they dont want to come with me. And these Individual Mushrooms have a different peronality and voice, then when i al talking to the Mushroom oversoul.

[@SirPrancelot1]

Fascinating, thanks.

[@spaceytracey1237]

I saw a tweet the other day and the person was asking if mushrooms are here for humans? Or if humans are here for mushies. I think ik the answer now.

[@CactusLand]

Fantastic interview, I love the part about the ants, someone should make a documentary about that.

[@blucat4]

BBC, 2005, "Life in the Undergrowth". It's pretty creepy watching at times, I feel for those ants. Amazing stuff.

[@ichymcgee2315]

[@francesca7142]

It's like Timothy Chalamet playing the role of an intellectual. A scientist, however, is unlikely to be flattered by the observation that he is "darling."

[@We-Do-NOT-Consent-303]

No, the Mushroom has already told us what is the function of pcylocibin. It allowes Hyperlight communication between fungal networks on different planets. Which is why we see multidimensional information in the trip.

[@tinaanjalid.2935]

[@alyjiyu]

We are animated avatars driving around in human skin spaceships. What provides us with functionality... but the numerous intelligent microbes within this organism we call human. Our health is determined by the balance of gut flora & fauna. Fungus overgrowth causes many disease conditions because there's a war on in your body. Treat your fungus with respect. Who's to say we aren't fungus having a dream we're a human? Who do we think we are? We are what we eat, digest & assimilate. Who helps that? There's your answer.

[@orwellianwhale]

[@lesterfalcon1350]

He says that making it into a film wouldn't be enjoyable to watch, but the TV series The Last of Us is based on this. I kind of feel theLast of Us missed a trick (an even darker side), in that the cordyceps are effcting the bain, but as he describes it doesn't in ants, but detaches the brain and effects the muscles. So the Zombies in the Last of Us, could still be normal people trapped in their bodies, with the brain functioning but with o control of their zombies bodies. Fully aware of everything their bodies are doing, but helpless.
