My man! I too have done some work on Sheldrake and his resonance field, which actually echos what ancient texts tell us about the reality of our reality: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-morphic-resonance-field-of-the

Glad to see you touch on this topic.

I had to come back and comment on this post because the picture selected as the profile picture has resonated with me all morning and here’s why.

Too often when we think of our mind, brain, etc, we have the image school books have given us, but based on this, what we’re seeing is that the mind, the memory, the mental fuels are more accurately depicted in images like the one in this article, than the one in the school books.

When we imagine or visualize our mind, it’s almost best to visualize it like something similar to the picture that what we’ve been thought.

Let me know if this is resonating with anyone else here.

I think Rupert redpilled me on scientism. His story is compelling, his research even more so. His original sin is an insatiable curiousity without regard to lanes or consensus. And that is intolerable. I am not compelled with pantheism, as I think that is only a fraction of the frame of the divine, but as a tool to dislodge the constraints of materialism and open up the exploration of the immaterial with a scientific toolkit his ideas and explorations are extraordinary. Morphic resonance seems not only correct but elegant and intuitive. He is definitely in my top 3 scientist I would like to have coffee with before I die. Thank you for highlighting him. Highly recommend his book 'the science delusion'.

Thanks Dan.

I’m curious, who are the other two?

Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein have impacted me in a similar way.

Like Rupert, I was reeled in by their courage in the face of 'consensus' attacks. I have found seething establishment anger to be a good bellweather for directionally true.

At the risk of explaining the apparent I would described their work as an exploration for meaning through an adapted toolkit they call an 'evolutionary lens'. It has been transformative for me. I highly recommend their book 'A hitch hiker's guide to the 21st century.'

Although on the face of it their starting point (nature and purpose of being) could not be more opposite to Rupert's, they share a reverence for humanity and a generosity that gets things unstuck. But more significantly they all transmit powerful first principles thinking by way of beautiful and instructive analogy. Something like applying the principles of thinking to nature, of nature to being, and being to thinking.

“…he hasn’t proven his theories by experiment…”

The insights Sheldrake has are so close to anyone thinking and feeling. Normal people KNOW these things from daily life. “Scientists” need an experiment to prove that they are alive. I wonder, why no scientists ever proposed an experiment to prove the existence of the brain. It’s so legitimate. Medicine is full of strange (evidenced) coincidences which contradict the need of the brain to develop in any way or form. Like savant people.

A bold hypothesis could be formed, like “mathematics is a fake science” - based on a simple premise that anyone - EVERY SINGLE PERSON, regardless of education - can learn mathematical operations on 6-digit figures within two weeks. The system is called Vedic mathematics, and pre-school kids in India learn it for fun. Western “scientists” have no idea what this is all about, just to give you a proper perspective who is “primitive”, and who is “developed”.

Every mother is clairvoyant, every grandmother can communicate with her children across space and time, we all experience this many times every year. When I was 4 years old, I was regularly “hearing” my dad’s bike in the next village, about 2 miles away and behind thick trees. Pre-school kids actually see the colors of the human aura, and can very accurately describe the mental state of the corresponding person. Far more accurately than psychologists would ever do.

I had an interesting conversation about this perception of the aura with a boy who was some 4 or 5 years of age. When asked, why he doesn’t talk about it with his parents, he said, “adults don’t like when kids know more than they”. You can’t improve on the acuity of this observation.

Pickpockets know exactly whom to observe and target. Cats and dogs instinctively want to be close to some guests in the house, and run away from or attack others. Children use their body language to communicate the ongoing attacks on their personal space by members of their families. What more experiments do you need to “prove” that there is more to life than pre-paid academic degrees and corrupt scientific procedures?

Fantastic! I experienced this very intensely in 2020 and I came up with the same thing. That we have a mind field which is an electromagnetic field produced by the energy generated by our cells

I almost died in 2020. I had a severe hypersensitivity reaction after surgery. An adverse event to both the implant and bone cement.

I was so hypersensitive that eating solid food caused my throat and tongue and face to swell, I would get paralysis and then could pass out for hours.

I had to get the smart electricity meter replaced with an old analogue one as I could hear the smart meter. It caused a strange tinnitus that sounded like a fax scream and by the end of the day it would be deafening. Going to my room and it would stop within 10 minutes.

But I could also see some people’s electromagnetic field and I could see their life experiences in it.

Not everyone though. Only people with adhd or those who were currently having a hypersensitive reaction to metals like their amalgam fillings

I could feel the presence of other people in the ether and could feel in what direction they were located from me even though they were miles away.

I could feel their emotions remotely and send them my emotions and thoughts

Some people were broadcasting their emf really loudly and I had to tell one person what they were doing and to stop it.

It actually scared other people. They felt naked in front of me as though they thought I could see all their fears and secrets. And I could.

It was an incredible experience and is how I formed my theory. I wasn’t aware that anyone else had been researching it

Then I found out about the cia hemisync tests in the 50s and then I found a book by academic Valerie hunt about it

Yes this guy is correct. I’ve seen it. If they get test subjects that are severely hypersensitive they will get much better positive results

I believe it’s related to my gene mutation. Those with gene mutations that make them inefficient at detox like mthfr are those who are susceptible to having a severe hypersensitivity reaction due to their susceptibility to becoming hypersensitised to metals from exposure

Thanks for bringing my attention to this guy

Thanks for sharing that Mark...what a story!

Expand full comment

There’s even more to the story than that. In about 6 days I’m releasing a video of delusional police officers who gaslight me and end up hurting me covering me in bruises.

They were made delusional by my drs. Details will be in the video. You become an enemy of the state when you have as many adverse events as I have. And this isn’t the first time a dr has lied to police to get them to harm me. Last time was 2012 and I wasn’t even conscious at the time, I was in status epilepticus. They hand cuffed me and cables tied my ankles while I was having a long seizure. 45 minutes. When my wife and mother in law walked in there was blood everywhere and they had to stop the police before they killed me.

I knew nothing of what happened until I regained consciousness hours later with cuts round my ankles and wrists.

Nurses complains but it got covered up in the end both by the hospital and police. Luckily I have the recordings of the meetings we had with police and hospital management still or they would be able to claim it never happened. The complaints of the nurses have bed. Removed from the hospital as though it never happened

Very interesting, thank you.

I dont get why this is so controversial? Maybe its not morphic whatever, but simple electricity (we are electric beings)....and /or maybe the entire universe is just one playful intelligence that loves to create life...and that intelligence is in each of us, so of course we would have some of its memory, and ways of thinking, and ways of behaving???

I thank you for this...whatever we call it, I do think the mechanistic view of the universe is over. At least for most thinking people.....

or people who love and live with animals.

Thank you for raising this topic. I have felt for quite some time that knowledge of this theory helps in understanding how contagion of illness occurs. And how the emotion of fear can be weaponized against entire populations. Our minds and integrity of thought were hijacked.

Once you start to think along these lines, you can go in many very interesting directions, as this is something unseen which provides another layer of influence over pretty much everything. Awareness of the staring experiment, for example.... the point of focus of thought or intention is significant. So, take that notion and apply it to other things.

There is a great deal to this thing we call Reality that has been hidden or dismissed, and when you put all of it together with this missing piece (and possibly other missing pieces), that is a true evolution of consciousness. Just as you said, the old way of understanding vitalism may be knocked down as not entirely correct, yet it provides a facet or piece to this puzzle, and integrating these theories to see what fits with open-minded curiosity and persistence seems to be on the right track. There are many other things you did not mention that others, besides Sheldrake, have put forth. Yet they all tie together.

His choices of experiments are fascinating. I've noticed the same in my life, as well (animals, plants, people, many "coincidences")

Sheldrake's theory may also present a challenge to epidemiology since it suggests an alternative means by which infectious diseases might be transmitted.

As always, a very interesting article.

A personal anecdote: My cat often anticipates my intentions, and always knows what mood I'm in. When I'm having a sad thought, he'll seek me out, lay his head on me and stroke me softly with his paw. I've often wondered if it's due to pheromones (which humans supposedly don't have 🙄), but morphic resonance probably provides a better explanation.

A field of study that I've recently discovered and have become interested in is microchimeric cells - cells that cross the placenta from mother to baby AND baby to mother, and take up residence in the new host, and in all parts of the body. I think further research into the role of these cells could help explain things such as instinct, how identical twins separated at birth often develop identical likes, dislikes, tastes and mannerisms, and even how organ recipients (especially heart transplant recipients) often develop these same types of changes that more closely align with characteristics of the deceased donor. I would love to see you write an article on this topic, and I think it would dovetail nicely with this article.

Thanks for everything that you write.

Seems very interesting and I for one resonate with it on some levels at least. Hmm, no pun intended.

I would love to watch the presentation but never go to you tube, so will search it out on another platform.

Cheers Unbekoming, food for thought indeed..

I believe torsion Fields enhance morphic resonance. Rupert is a real Iconoclast! https://timothywiney.substack.com/p/torsion-fields-esp-and-viral-load

Well it's about time for this topic. I was awake in the middle of the night and reading (it's a lifelong thing), reading a terrible post-within-a post about child trafficking, in the dark on my iPad, when an alert for "Morphic Resonance" popped up. I haven't followed Rupert Sheldrake in a while now, but I had a pretty good idea of what I was going to find before I looked at your post. And it's good stuff.

I first encountered Sheldrake at one of Robert Schwartz' Terrytown Tent Meetings in what must have been 1983 or 84, give or take -- I attended several of those. As best I recall from 40 years ago, he was talking about topics in his book, _A New Science of Life_, that had recently been published. I bought the book, devoured it, and continued to read others of his.

By the time I heard him speak, I was an experienced working computer scientist (still am) with a bachelor's degree, but I had had a creationist upbringing and I had major doubts and questions about science, particularly biological science (still do), and that book was just what I was looking for.

Yes, your post was quite long, but I was able to read it rather quickly because I read his books, know what he has been up to in the past, and remember much of what I read and love it still. Although now I sometimes have trouble remembering his name. And while I'm remembering, what became of Sheldrake and the 100th monkey? I didn't see mention of that in your post. It was a topic back then.

Much later in life (2010 or so) the thing about cats and vets became very real in this house. We have two cats, the smart one and the instinctive one (not their real names). They are both quite old now in feline terms, but the smart one in earlier years would open doors and cupboards and do other interesting things that I haven't seen other cats do.

She also knew when it was time to go to the vet, and she came up with all kinds of escape routes and hiding places. Oh the chases, each one different because she remembered how we had caught her in the past. We never missed a vet appointment, but it was always challenging in those days. We figured that she was picking up clues from our behavior on those days, and she certainly could do that, but even when we were ultra-careful not to do anything out of routine, she would still hide.

I had forgotten about that particular work that Sheldrake had done. Thanks for the reminder!

It’s an interesting idea for sure.

Unless you overlooked it in your summary, the cats-and-veterinarian anecdote seemed to lack a control. I wonder what would happen if they randomly called cat owners and asked “can you find your cat right now?”, although maybe the cats would know who was calling and thus change their behavior.

Or if they called veterinary clinics and asked how many people were late to their appointments because of bad traffic, or car troubles.

That being said, I know dog owners who claim that their dogs know they’re headed to the veterinarian, but I think it might be hard to rule out subtle behavioral cues on the part of the owner. Or maybe that’s the point?

Interesting! No doubt the spook agencies are all over this one in the thinking of the "remote viewing" they are said to employ. Perhaps this phenomena would be better understood if not for the blunting of human reception by three centuries of reductionism? This area requires more investigation but please not by the State or it will be weaponized against humanity if reduced to known principles of operation. This has been a problem for humankind ever since humans gained a knowledge of gun powder other modes of weaponry and disease causation.

Thank You! So in tune with this!

Whether when I was living on the land and sensing danger and then sighting the poisonous snakes countless times: being away from breast fed children and the tingling letting down of milk knowing something was amiss: landline phone rings and you know who is calling, something to do with copper hyper-sensing our connection with others? Sensing not to travel after green light because something was to unfold, very late red light runner takes out unsuspecting innocent drivers etc.

I am of the view that military have trained their crew for this understanding of the natural world of things . . that citizens have been deliberately dumbed and by lack of education over several centuries due to pushing modern living to disconnect us from the natural world and in recent times to control and suppress our natural abilities and true worth as humans in order to control us. No different to rockerfella drug cartels to push poison instead of natural therapies that stood the time for since humanity lived on our Mother Earth, possibly over one million years.

Now electricity and unnatural frequencies ie wireless technologies are bombarding confusing/scrambling our senses to be able to unconsciously capture, discern and decipher evil elements in our society. Humanity needs to ground with Mother Earth and absorb all that is good for humanity.

hEart . . . Earth . . . The Eather Connection . . . go figure.

Great post. I don't think I've encountered Rupert directly, but ironically there is a book by a different author called "The Science Delusion" by Curtis White.

As I started reading, I immediately thought about the staring question, since I'm pretty sure, that's very much an accepted training for anyone trying to follow someone else surreptitiously, that they should not stare at them, as they will somehow notice. I suggest society accepts several examples of such phenomenon while the mechanistic folks should reject them out of hand, but don't until someone wants to publish results lol.

I can think of other examples of such phenomenon, such as inheritance of fears from parents or relatives, which have never been personally communicated, discussed, or even known, but somehow get passed down and can suddenly rear its head out of nowhere. This I have experienced and I have encountered many others who say the same. I know of no mechanism to explain it.

My only criticism of perhaps the article, is I don't trust a number like 42% vs 25% unless have the full confidence interval or can see the raw numbers to calculate it myself. Far too many people think they know what significant means, but don't. Statistics is very non-intuitive sometimes. I personally don't doubt the results, but I also would not bank my reputation on them without knowing the details of this especially since statistical f*kery is pretty widespread.

Otherwise, great summary and a fascinating topic.

Yes indeed. I’ve noticed the police are another one. Never give police your attention when you are driving. You can’t look at them and can’t think about them because if you do, they suddenly pay attention to you

If you can keep them blocked out of your mind field it’s like being invisible
