I discovered Rupert about fifteen years ago through his trilogues with Ralph Abraham and Terence McKenna. May he live long and prosper.
Would you believe this man is almost 81‽ Dr. Sheldrake looks great!

Probably due to the fasting, not living to stressful of a life, meaningful work, community etc. all these things are important to living well✨🙏🏼💖
I remember decades ago seeing in a national geographic mag images of newly contacted Amazon Indians who silently sat in a group, eyes closed, at sunset meditating....naturally.
Rubert Sheldrake, you are such a lovely kind soul. I much appreciate your dedication to this field of intrest. You are very well recieved, in my home and practice. Much love and peace be with you
Pilgrimages happened in pre-historic, so to speak, North American tribes, who would undertake journeys of many days to visit the place where the rock for sacred pipes could be found, for example. And they moved with the seasons and followed the game and had the sacred as part of their daily somewhat uncertain lives. Thank you Rupert as always for your enlightened thoughts and words.

Regardless of agreeing or disagreeing with his statements, Rupert is the place we go to for a timeout from this depressing world.
Muchos Gracias, Rupert Sheldrake. There's a benevolent, almost priestlike energy, emanating from your way of speaking. Eloquently as it always is presented by you. Even your sense of humour is priestlike, causing mild smiles, and graceful giggles.😊 There's so much more to life, when a down-to-earth love, with gratitude, is our daily bread and butter.🍞🐮💚
Contemporary dogmatism is an issue. Nowadays science at its best is self-hating philosophy, at its worse is a self-defeating religion, dogmatic and intellectually weak in the inside, tyrannical on the outside. All great scientists up to a few decades ago had deep appreciation for philosophy, or even consider themselves philosophers. Science will be, for the coming decades over 50% philosophy. Humble scientists like Sheldrake accept this.
Thank you Rupert! Love your work! 🙏💪🙌
Love you Rupert, love how you speak, your words, so uplifting so Good!!! Goodness!
Wow, that was brilliant Rupert. Such a nice relaxing antidote to the modern world's noise that is continually thrust upon me. Cheers man. Go in peace. 🙂

Isn't Rupert like a lake with a blue sky above it? To me, he's a priestlike man, who could end his talk with "May the love of spirit protect you, and be with you. Go in peace" To you, to you who reads this, I say the same 💚🧙♀️
Thank you for Being.

Thank him and thank yourself and thank holy spirit.🤙♂️ They are, after all, intimately connected.. 313 . I'm thankful for the richness and variety of things. I'm greatful for other people and the light they shine, so long as it's not completely selfish. I'm greatful for whats been manifested to as the most fruitful life-changing revelation I'll have I've ever had~im 34 yrs old and I've been of spiritual sewing since my many of my earliest childhood memories. It's funny because how revelations work. Its just a simple, little, hardly conscious thought happening in the moment and but like a circuit switch to a bunch of dark out things rooms that left alone, it lights them up all simultaneously to the minds real eye and it gets to say to the superficial ego, "look..see. We were right all along. I've always had your back and always will, you just gotta know when to trust me.". 313
Always enjoy these presentations of Rupert s
Lovely and brilliant talk. I love pilgrimage! I did it myself! :)
Nice one Rupert, gud vid...
Thank you for this ❤ :)
I would like to see Terence beside you and refering a bit more about that topic, thanks a lot for sharing your enlighting insights🙏🙏🙏

There's a brilliant series of conversation with Rupert Sheldrake, David Bohm, Jiddu Krishnamurti, and a psychotherapist, whose name I can't remember. It's a YouToob series of 3 videos. The title: The Nature of The Mind. 1993.
👍 Watching your channel 👍 Hello from Virginia my friend 🇺🇸
Here Here!!!
Rupert, you were born a century before your time. You remind me of a certain Catholic saint who was also ingenius.
Hay-on-wye? Great talk, I still think we need more work on Morphogenetic Fields.
❤️thank you
Ive been receiving revelation intensely for a few days now. Yeah the 313 is an infinitely important pattern you can use for any conceivable thing it is every conceivable thing. It shows that key pattern that nature is reverberation to the spirit of God, consciousness( conscious self) and other. When we do science and we measure and record patterns for intelligent purposes, we create our own cognitive dissonance as soon as we start theorizing about some fundamental causal point of existence and or reason for why it exists, we cut the devine flow of the 313.
The sacred geometry of buildings for communication I believe stems all the way back to the Atlanteans. ⭐🙏⭐
Where was this from??
god is both outside and within
I'm a fan of Rupert's but I'd be happier if my old age pension was bigger than my rent.

Stop lying and making trouble on this peaceful page. You are just troubled that what he said cuts deep at your religious like belief in materialism. The truth is in you - somewhere! 🙂

What Is the Difference Between God and Nature? “It is best for us to agree and accept the words of the Kabbalists that ‘the nature’ (Heb. ‘HaTeva’ [‘הטבע’]) has the same numerical value as ‘God’ (Heb. ‘Elohim’ [‘אלהים’]-eighty-six. Then, I will be able to call the laws of God ‘nature’s commandments [Mitzvot],’ or vice-versa (God’s commandments [Mitzvot] by the name ‘nature’s laws’), for they are one and the same.” - Kabbalist Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam), “The Peace.” There is nothing besides the system of nature, which Kabbalists equally refer to as “nature” or “God,” and we are integral parts of this system. Therefore, when we say that there is one God, it means that there is nothing besides one force acting in this single system we are parts of. The desire of the single force acting in reality is to bring us into connection with it-not via coercion, but through awareness in a positive manner. As much as we understand, feel and attain this force as one that is good and benevolent, then we can adhere to it and reach its level of complete awareness.

IF you don't notice the difference between what thought says about reality, and how you find reality to actually be,you won't notice your innate peace and freedom
the studies on meditation are done on monks not the Mcmindfulness available to most - monks live within a full system of thought and practice its nothing to do with Mcmindfulness. Meditation both Mc and real also has a real dark side.
Do some animals, trees? etc., experience a self-consciousness?
