Morphic Resonance and Collective Memory Rupert Sheldrake, PhD

 
Sheldrake discusses proofs and implications of his hypothesis, describing a living universe with its own process of memory. Are there eternal, unchanging "laws" of nature? Sheldrake believes we can do better than this metaphor with its suggestion of lifeless mechanism. More appropriate to a dynamic, evolving universe are "habits" established within an ongoing process of change. Sheldrake discusses proofs and implications of his hypothesis, describing a living universe with its own process of memory: "morphic resonance." The revisioning he proposes opens the possibility of a new scientific outlook which recovers a sense of the life and intelligence of all things.
