Rupert Sheldrake explores the concept of morphic resonance, proposing that each species has a collective memory and the laws of nature are like habits. He discusses testable predictions of his hypothesis, including rats in different locations learning the same trick faster, and mentions the Flynn effect's impact on human intelligence scores.
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.
