Glorious Accident Interview: Rupert Sheldrake


“Through no fault of our own, and by dint of no cosmic plan or conscious purpose, we have become, by the power of a glorious evolutionary accident called intelligence, the stewards of life’s continuity on earth. We did not ask for this role, but we cannot abjure it. We may not be suited to such responsibility, but here we are.” -Stephen Jay Gould

Ever wanted to know Sheldrake’s thoughts on some of the most basic questions about life?

  1. What is the nature of our consciousness?
  2. What concepts has our consciousness developed about our temporal existence?
  3. What will we derive most from our consciousness: knowledge or understanding?
  4. What were the questions that fascinated you when you were growing up?
  5. What questions keep you spellbound today?

The 1hr 43min interview is available in its entirety on Sheldrake’s website: A Glorious Accident Interview
