Episode notes

The need for certainty in science has led to the categorization of ideas as either right or pseudo-science. However, morphic resonance is seen as pseudo-science because it challenges the established truths in textbooks and educational syllabi. Science operates on hypotheses that are about possibilities, and the certainty of established facts is always uncertain. The book 'The Science Delusion' questions the fundamental assumptions of science and suggests that the idea of fixed laws of nature, the alternative to morphic resonance, is not being adequately tested.

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.
