Rupert Sheldrake - The Science Delusion

Rupert Sheldrake is one of the world's most innovative biologists and writers, and is best known for his theory of morphic fields and morphic resonance, which leads to a vision of a living, developing universe with its own inherent memory. At this talk Rupert shared thoughts from his latest ground-breaking new book "The Science Delusion" and explored the implications of his radical discoveries for both science and society.

Rupert does not at any point abandon the scientific method - he applies to explore questions shunned by mainstream science. If anything, it is mainstream science that refuses to think critically about areas that might undermine mechanistic thinking. Please listen again a careful ear and an open mind and you might be intrigued by the possibilities that Rupert points to

Back as a teenager I thought that just as human cells might be aware of (or communicate with) all other cells, so might our sun be doing something similar with other stars.

This was a wonderful talk, and opens up important questions

2013: "The drug companies are falling off the patents cliff" (Rupert Sheldrake)
2020: COVID-19 pseudomedicine, now desperate, grabs humanity by the throat.

You said science has ten different dogmas. But in actuality, science has trillions and trillions of dogmas.

[sngscratcher]

The materialist belief trap is identical to the religious belief trap in that both create people who are victims of their own certitude; both are convinced of the righteousness of their convictions and the infallibility of their reality paradigm. And the most destructive part is, once you “know that you know, ” you rigidly close yourself off to any new, potentially useful information that falls outside of your beliefs. Might as well stick a fork in you, ‘cause you’re done – learning and growing.

Watching this 15th of August 2021 just shows the depth of everything.

Fabulous talk. Thank you so much for recording and sharing this.

many repeat ideas without any real understanding of the assumptions of science, or even the validity of those statements. And That's a Belief.

[anialiandr]

critical thinking means putting ideas in conversation with other ideas. This is what he says and advocated.

[benthejrporter]

Thanks. Rupert Sheldrake is brilliant!

If you ask me there's a box called "curved spacetime" but physics is "nonlocal" and entangled particles apparently make more sense if thought about as coupled by cold spinning atom retro-reflectively-focused gravity flows instead of spacetime bridges.

Virtual realities
by Barry H Mansfield




Waves of possibility weave together
to create a tapestry of potential realities.
Conscious perception defines the parameters
of the potential possibility of perceived reality.
This allows for the processes of creativity to be applied
within the framework of existence.
Okay, what does this mean.
There is a potential for the direction of future circumstances
that can be controlled, regulated, manipulated
by the purposeful directionaliztion of consciousness through will.
Even simpler
The way we think controls our lives

Maybe the right term is that the Sun is interacting with other galactic object, the galactic mind is more like causality interaction as like other inanimate object, the whole speech are mind opening

all the planets weigh in. your morphic field is ancient astrology... keep worshipping yourself Mr. Sun

[quillanvideoclip]

Nicely put. I'll copy and paste this comment to myself. Thanks.

A while ago this most infamous of pseodo-scientists wrote a book entitled "seven experiments that could change the world." the big problem for rupert turned out to be that many people or groups of people did the "scientific thing." many years later the world was not changed. i think this is called "hoist by his own petard."

[JillFreeman-kbih]

yay. because the Chinese and India are never fond of cowardice... right

Everyone return to the box and stay inside! Sheldrake is a heretic and blasphemer.

Not sure that Descartes himself denied that we might be something other than matter.
