Dr. Alfred Rupert Sheldrake (born 28 June 1942) is an English scientist and author. He is known for having proposed a non-genetic account of morphogenesis and for his research into parapsychology. His books and papers stem from his theory of morphic resonance, and cover topics such as animal and plant development and behaviour, memory, telepathy, perception and cognition in general. His publications include A New Science of Life (1981), Seven Experiments That Could Change the World (1995), Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home (1999), The Sense of Being Stared At (2003), and The Science Delusion: Freeing the spirit of inquiry (2012).
Seven Experiments That Could Change the World:
In 1994 Dr. Sheldrake proposed a list of Seven Experiments That Could Change the World, which included, among other things, the seed of his study of Dogs that Know When Their Owners are Coming Home (1999). In Seven Experiments ... he encouraged lay people to contribute to scientific research, and argued that scientific experiments similar to his own could be conducted on a shoestring budget.
The Sense of Being Stared At
In 2003, Dr. Sheldrake published The Sense of Being Stared At on the psychic staring effect, including an experiment where blindfolded subjects guessed whether persons were staring at them or at another target. He reported that, in tens of thousands of trials, 60% of subjects reported being stared at when being stared at; 50% of subjects reported being stared at when they were not being stared at. According to Dr. Sheldrake, this suggested a weak sense of being stared at but no sense of not being stared at. He also claimed that these experiments were widely repeated, in schools in Connecticut and Toronto and a science museum in Amsterdam, with consistent results.

Academic Work
Dr. Bruce Lipton taught in 1973 anatomy as an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin School Of Medicine before coming to St. George's University School of Medicine, where he became a Professor of Anatomy for 3 years. From 1987 to 1992 he was involved in research at Penn State and Stanford University Medical Center. Since 1993 he has been teaching in non-tenure positions at different universities.[3] His publications consist mainly of research on the development of muscle cells.

"doctor Sheldrake I presume" That cracked me up. What an interesting fellow. I'm going to order his book Science Set Free https://youtube.com/watch?v=uD2qScZlvYE
Thanks Static,
charming eloquence

Thanks to Static !!!
Description: In this video, British biologist Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative scientists, describes how science is being constricted by unexamined assumptions that have hardened into dogmas*. These dogmas not only put arbitrary limits on the depth and scope of science, but may well be dangerous for the future of humanity.
According to these dogmas, all of reality is material or physical; the world is an inanimate machine; nature is purposeless; free will is an illusion; notions of higher orders of consciousness and absolute ("God") awareness exist only as ideas in human minds, which are themselves nothing but electrochemical processes imprisoned within our skulls.
So Dr. Sheldrake asks: should science be an ideology or belief system, or should it reclaim its birthright as an unbiased, open-ended method of inquiry? In his latest book, SCIENCE SET FREE, he argues that the materialist ideology is moribund; under its sway, increasingly expensive research is reaping diminishing returns while societies around the world are paying the price. In the skeptical spirit of true science, SCIENCE SET FREE turns ten fundamental dogmas of materialist science into exciting questions, and shows how all of them open up startling new possibilities for discovery. This book may well challenge your view of what is real and what is possible.
Dr. Rupert Sheldrake is the author of more than 80 scientific papers and ten books, and is best known for his groundbreaking theory of morphic resonance. (For his full biography and more information on his work, seehttp://www.sheldrake.org/homepage.html ). In this video, recorded in San Francisco on Sept. 7, 2012, Dr. Sheldrake speaks about his new book and answers audience questions at a presention sponsored by the California Institute of Integral Studies (http://ciis.org) and held at the First Unitarian Universalist Church in San Francisco.

:cool:
A recent and important article by Rupert Sheldrake on 'Why bad science is like bad religion' writing in his blog for the Huffington Post which may be of interest:
I have been a scientist for more than 40 years, having studied at Cambridge and Harvard. I researched and taught at Cambridge University, was a research fellow of the Royal Society, and have more than 80 publications in peer-reviewed journals. I am strongly pro-science. But I am more and more convinced that that the spirit of free inquiry is being repressed within the scientific community by fear-based conformity. Institutional science is being crippled by dogmas and taboos. Increasingly expensive research is yielding diminishing returns.

Sheldrake's quote needs to be made on plaques that people can buy. Something not to be forgotten.

Thanks for this very interesting video. Sheldrake rocks!
Peace Love Joy & Harmony,

Before the Renaissance he would have been burned at the stake for his heresies. I am glad we are not experiencing those times in this particular consensus reality.
Sheldrake has been a bright light in science for decades now. The mainstream keeps him hidden under a bed.
Rupert Sheldrake - Richard Dawkins comes to call

David Icke.
Richard Dawkins - the pseudoscientist so desperate to undermine those that
disagree with his almost child-like devotion to the song-sheet orthodoxy of
mainstream 'science'.

Wonderful - Rupert Sheldrake is one of the very best.

Banned TEDTalk: The Science Delusion - Rupert Sheldrake
Quote TED's Chris Anderson censored
Rupert Sheldrake, along with
Graham Hancock, and removed
this video and Hancock's from the
TEDx YouTube channel. They dared
question the Scientistic Orthodoxy,
and for that they have been publicly
castigated and defamed.
Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D. is a biologist
and author of more than 80 scientific
papers and ten books. A former
Research Fellow of the Royal Society,
he studied natural sciences at Cambridge
University, where he was a Scholar of
Clare College, took a double first class
honors degree and was awarded the
University Botany Prize.
He then studied philosophy and history
of science at Harvard University, where
he was a Frank Knox Fellow, before
returning to Cambridge, where he took a
Ph.D. in biochemistry.
He lives in London with his wife Jill Purce
and two sons.
He has appeared in many TV programs
in Britain and overseas. He has written for
newspapers such as the Guardian, where
he had a regular monthly column, The
Times, Sunday Telegraph, Daily Mirror,
Daily Mail, Sunday Times, Times
Educational Supplement, Times Higher
Education Supplement and Times Literary
Supplement, and has contributed to a variety
of magazines, including New Scientist,
Resurgence, the Ecologist and the Spectator.

Thanks Onawah. A few thoughts on that video.Quote:

Fudging is called by the fudgers ‘intellectual phase locking’! Does this interesting phrase describe an insidious form of morphic resonance?
Materialistic medicine is forced to rely on the placebo effect to classify phenomena that are unexplained, being non-material. The placebo effect is the Trojan Horse of materialistic medicine, it shouldn’t exist at all.
Rupert Sheldrake mentions his great friendship with Terence McKenna, which may come as a surprise to some who have little time for Terence McKenna. McKenna answered a question on their relationship as follows (in The Archaic Revival):
Quote:
Q. Rupert Sheldrake’s morphic resonance, Ralph Abraham’s chaos theory, and your timewave model all appear to contain complementary patterns that operate on similar underlying principles–that energy systems store information until a certain level is reached and the information is then transduced into a larger frame of reference, like water in a tiered fountain. Have you worked these theories into an all-encompassing metatheory of how the universe functions and operates?
A. No, but we’re working on it. Well, it is true that the three of us–and I would add Frank Barr in there, who is less well known but has a piece of the puzzle as well–we’re all complementary. Rupert’s theory is, at this point, a hypothesis. There are no equations, there’s no predictive machinery; it’s a way of speaking about experimental approaches. My timewave theory is like an extremely formal and specific example of what he’s talking about in a general way. And then what Ralph’s doing is providing a bridge from the kind of things Rupert and I are doing back into the frontier branch of ordinary mathematics called dynamic modeling. And Frank is an expert in the repetition of fractal process. He can show you the same thing happening on many many levels, in many different expressions. So I have named us Compressionists, or Psychedelic Compressionists. Compressionism holds that the world is growing more and more complex, compressed, knitted together, and therefore holographically complete at every point, and that’s basically where the four of us stand, I think, but from different points of view.

In one of the examples that Rupert shows in the above video, he speaks on the idea that the brain may not be the only place where mind and..memory exist.
