They discuss the phenomena of parallel inventions and parallel evolution as evidence of morphic resonance, exploring how inventors across the world can come up with the same invention at the same time and mentioning examples of convergent evolution. They also discuss different theories related to morphic resonance and emphasize the importance of studying the phenomenon regardless of specific explanations.
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.
