The Presence of the Past

Here is a classic interview with a young Rupert Sheldrake in 1989. From the description: Were there any “laws of the universe” at the time of the “big bang?” Oxford trained biologist Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D., author of The Presence of the Past, says that all laws developed as “habits” over time. Thus the universe and its laws can be seen to be continually evolving. In this view the theory of evolution can be applied to physics, chemistry and cosmology.

Sheldrake on “Through the Wormhole”

From the Science Channel website: The belief in ESP or the sixth sense dates back thousands of years. The Greek historian Herodotus wrote that Croesus, who ruled a kingdom in what is now Turkey in the sixth century B.C., consulted oracles — that is, groups of priests claimed to be able to predict the future — before he went to war. In ancient India, Hindu holy men were believed to possess the power to see and hear at a distance, and to communicate through telepathy. In the late 1700s, the Viennese physician Franz Mesmer claimed that he could give people ESP powers by hypnotizing them.

Collective Memory and the Habits of Nature

From the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit (APRU) lecture series at the University of London. According to the hypothesis of formative causation, all self-organizing systems, including crystals, plants and animals contain an inherent memory, given by a process called morphic resonance from previous similar systems. All human beings draw upon a collective human memory, and in turn contribute to it.

The Ancient City of Dvārakā

In the Mahabharata, the city of Dvārakā was created by Vishwa Karma (the architect of the gods) with instructions from Lord Krishna.

The Consciousness Chronicles: Rupert Sheldrake

Is consciousness produced by a complex arrangement of billions of neurons, mind emerging from the matter of the brain? Or is it embedded at the deepest level of the universe, a quantum effect? Could machines eventually become conscious? Where does creativity come from? How do we transform our consciousness? The Consciousness Chronicles is an ongoing DVD documentary series featuring in-depth interviews with some of the world’s leading consciousness researchers from all disciplines: scientific, philosophical, experiential and mystical. The Chronicles are recorded at the annual Toward a Science of Consciousness conference, based in Tucson, AZ.

The Living Matrix: Rupert Sheldrake

A clip from the film, The Living Matrix – The Science of Healing, uncovers new ideas about the intricate web of factors that determine our health. “We talk with a group of dedicated scientists, psychologists, bioenergetic researchers and holistic practitioners who are finding healing potential in new places. And energetic information-based medicine looks particularly powerful. Leaders in science are examining the body through the lens of quantum physics. They’ve discovered that we’re far more than biochemical machines.”

The Evolution of Telepathy

Field observations have suggested that wolves and other wild animals may communicate telepathically over many miles, and surveys have shown that about 50% of dog owners and about 30% of cat owners believe that their pets may respond to their thoughts or silent commands. Among humans, apparent telepathy is most commonly reported between members of families and between close friends and colleagues. Experimental investigations of telepathy in animals and people suggest that telepathy may be a natural means of communication between members of animal and human groups. Human telepathy is still evolving in the context of modern technologies, including the internet, emails, SMS messages and telephones. Dr. Sheldrake will show how anyone can explore their own abilities in automated telepathy tests using mobile phones.
