Rupert Sheldrake: The Evidence for Morphic Resonance and Telepathy

Biologist Rupert Sheldrake, former Cambridge research fellow, examines morphic resonance, the extended mind, and telepathy, arguing that memory and habits may extend beyond the brain. He discusses empirical research on the sense of being stared at, organ‑transplant memories, and the physical nature of morphic fields, challenging mainstream scientific paradigms.- 00:00 - Intro- 00:17 - Morphic Resonance- 10:07 - Scopaesthesia (Sense of Being Looked At)- 15:35 - Rupert’s Empirical Research- 28:39 - “This Phenomenon Has to do with Light”- 37:56 - Prey vs. Predator Animals- 47:09 - Extramission- 50:42 - Memories and Organ Transplants- 56:36 - Michael Levin’s Theory of Memory- 01:02:10 - “Morphic Fields Are Physical”- 01:04:45 - Fundamental Reality & Idealism- 01:29:50 - God, Trinity, Cosmic Christ- 01:31:32 - Mysticism & Meditation- 01:35:04 - How to Pray- 01:42:12 - Summary of Episode- 01:50:17 - OutroSPONSORS:- I personally subscribe to The Economist.
