What is a human being? It is the ultimate question, to which institutional science offers surprising answers. The materialistic paradigm, which has dominated institutional science for well over a century, states that the essence of consciousness can be reduced to the physical components of the brain. However, does an alternative scientific perspective exist?

One of the most remarkable researchers into consciousness and the evolution of life is biologist Dr. Rupert Sheldrake. Dr. Sheldrake is the author of more than 80 scientific papers and ten books. He has won international acclaim for his experimental research on his hypothesis of morphic fields and morphic resonance.

How refreshing to listen to Dr. Sheldrake in the midst of all the fear mongering that is escalating intensely.

As the hypothesis goes....

Is it a robot that observes (consciously) that human beings are robots?

I was in contact with Rupert Sheldrake recently, I was discussing the work of Arthur M.Young - he is one of your American genius types who developed the first working helicopter of commercial quality - the Bell Helicopter. Arthur Young went on to develop a totally alternative cosmology and account for the universe and life - moving on from Relativity and even including astrology (!) I saw a lot of parallels with Rupert's' work in breaking down the dogmas of science, and he told me he knew Arthur Young and spoke with him a number of times. Just a little tid bit of relevant information, both men are totally refreshing in their thinking and re-affirmed my faith in modern thought.

What about the thought that we are some other thing than the body and that singly and collectively we are generating holograms of our body, of the areas seemingly exterior to our bodies and eventually to the UNIVERSE, which may or may not be real as we think we see it. Also, possibly that we are a consciousness coming either from a confined space or dwell within a robotic consciousness outside of which there is outer darkness, for the idea of space may simply be mentally generated.

A random comment, I have recently had looks into the consciousness of acquaintances who have been dead a few days and are still at the funeral home. One was in a coma and I did not learn of it until some considerable time after. His face was disconnected and I knew it was a coma. In other cases, the consciousness of the dead could not move the body. They were vaguely aware of other bodies in their area but placed them in situations of the living rather than the dead. One man who had spent a lot of his life as an alcoholic, saw himself as lying under a cellar alongside of other derelict men who also could not move. My dearest friend of 58 years found herself under a vast overhead net which went on forever, from which there was no exit for her spirit. Much later, her face appeared in my consciousness with a most unusual bejeweled hairdo piled high on her head, showing her exalted spiritual condition of happiness, one she certainly deserved.

Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, is a biologist and author best known for his hypothesis of morphic resonance. At Cambridge University he worked in developmental biology as a Fellow of Clare College. He was Principal Plant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics in Hyderabad, India. From 2005 to 2010 he was Director of the Perrott-Warrick project for research on unexplained human and animal abilities, funded by Trinity College, Cambridge. Sheldrake has published a number of books - A New Science of Life (1981), The Presence of the Past (1988), The Rebirth of Nature (1991), Seven Experiments That Could Change the World (1994), Dogs That Know When Their Owners are Coming Home (1999), The Sense of Being Stared At (2003), The Science Delusion (Science Set Free) (2012), Science and Spiritual Practices (2017), Ways of Going Beyond and Why They Work (2019). Rupert gave a talk entitled The Science Delusion at TEDx Whitechapel, Jan 12, 2013. The theme for the night was Visions for Transition: Challenging existing paradigms and redefining values (for a more beautiful world). In response to protests from two materialists in the US, the talk was taken out of circulation by TED, relegated to a corner of their website and stamped with a warning label.

The Sense of Being Stared at and the Extension of Mind Through Space: Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogue

Do our minds reside solely inside our heads, or perhaps bodies? Or do they extend into the wider world, perhaps even reaching to the stars? In this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues, Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Vernon discuss the extended mind theory, taking a lead from recent work of Rupert’s on the sense of being stared at, and also the problems that contemporary science has with understanding vision. The discussion considers new research carried out by Rupert and others, as well as the theories of A.N. Whitehead. The way in which science since Maxwell has considered light as moving backwards as well as forwards in time is explored, alongside the way that William Blake described how we see, which itself fits the ancient understanding, that seeing is an active process of engagement, not a passive mode of reception.

Rupert references two published papers. One is on the nature of visual perception, co-written with Alex Gomez-Marin, online here:

Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, is a biologist and author best known for his hypothesis of morphic resonance. At Cambridge University, as a Fellow of Clare College, he was Director of Studies in biochemistry and cell biology. As the Rosenheim Research Fellow of the Royal Society, he carried out research on the development of plants and the ageing of cells, and together with Philip Rubery discovered the mechanism of polar auxin transport. In India, he was Principal Plant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, where he helped develop new cropping systems now widely used by farmers. He is the author of more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and his research contributions have been widely recognized by the academic community, earning him a notable h-index for numerous citations. On ResearchGate his Research Interest Score puts him among the top 4% of scientists.

• Presentiment: Waking Before Alarms, Making Millions Through Day Trading:

Most people have had the experience of waking soon before an alarm clock goes off and some can even wake before a specified time without an alarm. The usual assumption is that this depends on an exquisitely sensitive time sense, but Rupert argues that it may be explained better in terms of presentiment, or ‘feeling the future’, or even in terms of an ‘extended present’. We already know that our sense of the present is not a mathematical instant, but has width, and perhaps it widens over ranges of seconds to include portions of the near future, Presentiment is now a well-established phenomenon in laboratory experiments, carried out at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Cornell University and elsewhere, and may be widely distributed among people and non-human animals. It could play an important part in everyday life, and become especially significant in fast-moving sports like downhill skiing, tennis and ping pong. Some people may make use of this ability in day trading where they make decisions on movements of the markets over very short time periods, sometimes only a few seconds. Rupert Sheldrake discusses how this ability could potentially be trained, enabling airline pilots and racing drivers to be better prepared for potential accidents, and helping some people to get rich quick – as some day traders already have – by using intuitive abilities that cannot be duplicated by computers.

Bumping this thread,i think the subject of the video above in the last post is fascinating and some serious food for thought.. This is an interview with Mr Sheldrake from 3 weeks ago ---

- 8 Mar 2024
'The facts of science, scientific techniques and technologies are real enough. But, the philosophy of materialism that governs conventional scientific thinking is an act of faith grounded in a 19th-century ideology. It is time to set science free. In this webinar, we dialogued with Dr. Rupert Sheldrake on all things consciousness. Does it exist beyond the brain? Where did our ideas on consciousness originate from? How do we move beyond it?

This webinar was held in celebration of the relaunch of The Rupert Sheldrake Course, now available for purchase on-demand.'
