I've heard that snipers are trained to be careful of staring at their target too. Because of the extended range even if you aim and shoot it can still afford them a half a second or two to duck or dodge.

What I appreciate about this presentation, and what I think lends significant credibility, is the frequent encouragement to replicate the experiments yourself. No appeal to authority. No caveats that you shouldn't expect these results. None of that. Such openness is hard to reconcile with the idea of intentional fraud.

The telepathic stuff is very obvious to me as a mum. I always woke just before my babies needed feeding and started to cry - I’m sure most mums do this. But now that my kids are adults, I still have a feeling when something is wrong and then when I contact them, invariably there is! I knew the day my daughter would crash her car - I messaged her one morning and asked her to be careful and not drive that day. Unfortunately she didn’t get my message and crashed it! Thank goodness she was okay. I also have a strong link with my own mother. When I was 16, I heard her ‘call’ me when I was at school. I knew something was wrong and walked home to find her very ill in bed. It’s very strange, but very true.

Thank you for taking the time to do this, Dr. Sheldrake. What stamina to deal with so much prejudice and ignorance! You are a saint.

For "telephonic telepathy" phenomenon, I would say that the intent or thought of the person must be genuine and not artificially produced. That is to say, the desire to call the person must be spontaneous and earnest.

Fascinating. And connectedness has such implications for society, peace, war and the rest of it. Sheldrake refers to Dean Radin's 2006 book 'Entangled minds'. That's a great read. A jaw-dropper, packed with independent research, very rational. Only just found it myself. As for scepticism: impossible for me personally - aside from the researches of Sheldrake/Radin and many others: One day my late wife screamed in pain for no apparent reason. "It's my sister!" We phoned her house, three miles away, and a startled husband said she'd just gone in for emergency surgery. I had made a written note of exact location of pain and the time of day. Later, we were able to confirm total correspondence with the instant the knife went in and the position. Might it be that mainline scientists resist psi so strongly, not only to protect their careers but because at some level they sense that their thoughts might overflow and disrupt experimental processes? As with 'psi-missers' their scepticism may well block such an influence - so, up to a point, useful.

"The solid citizen of academia would not think of expressing a great thought, even if one should perchance cross his mind, for "sensible" men who achieved position and the emoluments of their professions are not tempted to jeopardize their reputations and security as crusaders in the cause of truth. Nor has anyone the right to ask the other fellow to run the risk of martyrdom in a world which is already tough enough." "If I have learned anything throughout nearly half a century of study, it is to keep an open mind and to avoid confusing majority opinion with truth. Many seemingly preposterous myths have turned out to be correct. While savants "with both feet on the ground" were agreed that Troy was a fiction of Homer's poetic fancy, Schliemann, with the childish faith of an amateur, unearthed it. Notable breakthroughs often require the kind of thinking that "sound" people (i.e., who have the weight of consensus behind them) will brand as "unscientific" or plain "crazy." And to be quite frank, it is not always easy to determine the fine line that separates creative genius from unproductive nonsense. The only criteria we have are the results. "By their fruits shall ye know them." And here the element of luck enters into the picture. Unconventional thinking, when it is crowned with success, is meritorious. But if it meets with failure, it reaps a harvest of ridicule and disgrace. Pioneers must be willing to take the chance." C. H. Gordon, in Before Columbus, page 79.

God bless Sheldrake and all who admire his works, from Adelaide, South Australia.

as a energy worker I can say that this is refreshing to see, someone acknowledging what people for millenium have been subjectively discovering; mind isn't just your brain, it goes way beyond that. he doesn't go far enough, though, I don't see any limit to it. what he's describing is the energy level of mind (the first is awareness of the physical body, the next is awareness of the energy level) but it keeps on going. the whole problem is that science currently only accepts indirect (objective) experience and not direct experience. very limiting since science is made by subjective beings, you can't take subjectivity out, and if you try you end up with a lopsided method, useful, but limited. hopefully one day science will put the time into developing methods to calibrate subjective experience (or leverage the mind science that exists in yogic, buddhist, taoist, etc, methods) and we can really start developing ourselves from the inside and the outside, both. thanks for posting.

What I'm trying to get across to you is that there is no need to speculate about telepathy as Sheldrake continues to do because we now know that there is a proven explanation based on a dog's fantastic sense of smell, something which we lack. Do you know that a dog can scent a bitch on heat when she is up to 3 miles away, again nothing to do with telepathy. It's simply down to a dog's superior sense of smell compared to ours. That's why sniffer dogs are used.at airports, for example. A dog can sniff out traces of a narcotic I a suitcase which carried narcotics weeks ago. Same thing with people's clothing. So, no metaphysical explanation needed.

It's amazing, and from what little study I've done the one thing I've concluded beyond a shadow of doubt in my mind is that no one knows all there is to know on consciousness, and it just keeps getting more interesting all the time.

Yes - this one has got me going too. I can think of a number of reasons: 1) GROUP THINK-- the fear of being seen to be non conformist by the group of people who may be responsible for your promotion. 2) The natural resistance to the painful experience of letting a new idea enter one's mind. This exercise is not only painful- it is time consuming. I know- I have been through it :) 3) The common occurrence of atheism in these groups. I get this: I went to a Church of England Grammar School, and the presentation of God and Heaven and Hell really riled me. It was illogical and left me in the position of having to worship a God who could send any of my friends or family to Hell for being unable to wrap their head around what was required of them. So many of us were so disgusted by this education that we became atheists- not agnostics. In the atheist world view there really is no room for psi experiences. I guess you would class me as more agnostic nowadays- but atheism is a dead end fundamentalism every bit as bad as Wahabi Islam. 4) AND I THINK THIS IS THE REALLY SNEAKY ONE: We do know that the CIA, in conjunction with (I think) Princeton University have been doing (successful) remote viewing experiments. Now this does need the ability to take on something that could be called a "conspiracy theory" -- but if you were part of a group that had high level psi abilities (not just the weak effects shown in the ganzfield experiments) would it not be in your interests to leverage the power that these abilities gave you by convincing everybody they did not exist. I can't say if it is true or not, but I do know that there is enormous manipulation of the information available in the public domain. David Gorski, Susan Gerbic and her "guerilla skeptics" have been systematically corrupting Wikipedia, and any public domain information around complementary medicine (or aspects of of conventional medicine too). However the morphic field theory provides a basis for thinking about psi effects in a coherent way-- and that would not be in the interests of anyone who had a monopoly on them, or had a stranglehold on power through any other means (Think about the distribution of wealth in this world).

AndyJK45 - Great points. Most of what you said has to do with HUMAN NATURE, which seems to be the least observed and acknowledged phenomena in all of reality. Yet it has the most potent effect on "Science" of any other factors, let alone every other activity of the human race. It's that thing or 'expression' that has to be denied or overlooked by itself in order to get what it wants, gain & keep the advantages over the human nature of others. It's the secret struggle underneath and driving most other struggles, arguments & agendas. The fact that it's the most denied aspect of 'scientific' interest is what has made me turn my back on it for the most part and disrespect everything that comes at us in the name of science these days. It used to be a bit more honest discipline, I believe, as what was called the "scientific method" was designed to circumvent human nature as much as possible, but is losing ground to the dishonesty of special interests and funding source pressures.

I have an unusual theory about this. I see the crusade against pseudoscientific heretics as part of a wider set of beliefs, which we can call political correctness (I have also seen it called cultural terror). Of course, most people know or at least sense this, I think, and its traits, which often include intolerance, deceit and self-delusion. I believe it is a fantasy. I got the idea from Christopher Booker's precocious (it was written in 1968) The Neophiliacs, which describes the extraordinary rise of the Swinging Sixties in England in terms of a fantasy cycle, apparently of his own devising. He identified five stages (dream, frustration, nightmare, death wish and finally fading back into reality, or more likely moving into the next cycle). He saw two major cycles. the first getting underway (tentatively) in 1956 and ending (death wish) in 1963. It seems clear that this fantasy (with or without cycles) has continued and deepened since. The thing about a fantasy is that it cannot bear contact with reality and desperate efforts to stave off reality explain the intolerant behaviour we see nowadays. The pc fantasy covers a large number of lesser ones, from AGW to contemporary witch hunts. Interestingly Booker, a scholar of Jung, who has investigated so many of these modern mass delusions, appears to accept the Jimmy Savile myth (judging from a newspaper article he wrote a year or two ago which included the phrase 'knowing what we now know about Jimmy Savile'. I believe this last category of witch hunts (which includes the astonishing Irish anticlerical insanity) illustrates most clearly the gap between illusion and reality. Richard Webster's Sceptical Essays website is a good introduction. They are very difficult to spot when you are inside one. AndyJK45's identification of atheism as a factor is well spotted. John Gray argues that the evangelical atheism we have now is a Christian heresy, albeit a crude one. I recall from one of Sheldrake's videos that Jerry Coyne was one of two prominent sceptics who had called for his TED talk to be pulled (if I remember correctly). Peter Hitchens has an amusing article on his blog called The Mighty Professor Coyne Launches Another Thunderbolt. Coyne's article which provoked this does indeed have a strikingly mediaeval feel, accusing Hitchens of wilful refusal to embrace the truth (of evolution), mocking science and leading young people astray.

Really enjoyed Rupert Sheldrake. When someone is "not" paranomal prone, what they believe doesn't changes a persons paranormal experiences! The experiencer is the authority. Skeptisim can be healthy, but the burden is on the skeptic. I will have 100's more paranormal experience's and the skeptic will be right where they started!

I’m shocked at the audience

This talk is so liberating. For years I have encountered the hostage attitude. What surprises me is that this type of attitude often comes from highly educated people. But when you try to bring the discussion deeper, they always disqualify you before you find out themselves are actually not qualified in the field. Just to share a personal experience: I have had a healer for the last 8 year, once a week we talk on the phone for 30 minutes (includes 5 minutes talk, 25 minutes of me hanging up the phone, lying there and resting). We have never met, and I pay him £30 each time - to tell you these is only for showing you that he is not trying to lure my money or any sexual contact. I have no idea how he does it but I can see the result of me being happier, healthier and stronger. I can't explain and I don't even know where to start apart from telling you all the information above. There are so much we don't know anything about. To stay openminded may not be a bad idea.

This man is a real scientist who has the guts to do his research and not care what others say. Most scientists are fearful of ridicule and keep away from things considered unacceptable. This why the few scientists make the greatest discovers and the majority simple poke along.

He is awesome. Straight forward, no stumbling, no nonsense. Because he follows the original reason for science; to find the truth. Scientists as a rule seem to find a probable reason for things then label it a law or a fact. Then they have nothing left to do but discredit people that decide that that is not good enough.

there was a definite effect of "feeling that you're being stared at" happening with live "eagle cams", where they hid a camera in a tree to spy on an eagle's nest. Eventually the eagle destroyed the camera; before that, the eagle's attention would be toward the camera and it definitely seemed to be disturbed in its nest - by the camera. This happened while I was watching the eagle cam, there was no mistaking it. It's really a shame how frightened some people seem to be of this stuff.

Absolutely Excellent Talk Thank you for sharing. Dr Rupert Sheldrake extremely Interesting/Entertaining and simplified explanations of exciting scientific studies on Telepathy.

Brilliant man, Sheldrake. A pioneer and a visionary.

I also go to poetry readings and write down a phrase I liked. The next day I would go to the Recycling Center Magazine/Oracle bin and immediately find an image that exactly depicts that phrase. I had jokingly calling it the Oracle bi the a while later I discovered that the Oracle in Greece is at the foot of Mt Parnassus where both myself and the Recycling Center reside. Sometime a person shows up wearing a T Shirt which adds to the theme I take pictures of these events. I have over 300 of them. They can't all be flukes as they are too precise. I then discovered that I was meant to live in this development. On a hunch I sent away for a particular issue of The Ithaca Journal and I immediately found an Architectural drawing of a planetarium. I suddenly realized that I knew this Astrophysicist. His name CARL FREDERICK. My housing development is bounded by CARL St & FREDERICK St. My intuition must have know that drawing was in there which jogged my memory. It is an affordable housing development and I desperate;y wanted to move in here. It is in a beautiful area of S.F. and we bought a condo for half price. That was the outward reason but the real reason was to live across the street from the magazine bin so that I could document these synchronicities. They started happening to me after graduating from Cornell but, until I moved here, I had no real way of documenting them. Oddly enough the development was built on the site of POLYTECHNIC H.S., science school. It is on a hill and I call it A Shining City on a Hill. Mr. Sheldrake is correct, the more "educated" you seem to be the more close-minded you are. They tend to think they already know everything. How dull. Since I have had many experiences w telepathy, I've kept an open mind and document these events as though they were my scientific data.

I have been trying hard to come up with an actual physical theory which doesn't omit any evidence. “Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler.” It is difficult, and I can understand why so many people balk at the work involved. 1. The big bang happened. From an outside perspective we can see the universe as a sphere where all events occur simultaneously. 2. Inertia isn't very meaningful in the above perspective. 3. Entropy without inertia is information entropy. 4. Information entropy plus the path of least resistance leads to a mechanistic, non-inertial physical theory. 5. From the inside perspective of the universe, information entropy can be depleted at any point in time so that the possible outcomes are limited although still infinite. 6. Since human brains are vastly dense with information entropy, we have an influence of the 'space-time' of information entropy, just like black holes. 7. Communication does not take place. Minds and matter too center on the same outcome when possible, since agreement has less entropy than disagreement.

This has made me remember something from school days. I was heavily bullied in 10th grade, and I remember that my dog literally suffered each morning when I had to leave. He would literally follow me up to the bus stop (crossing a dangerous highway) and would actually try to get into the bus with me. He would fight anyone that tried to stop him, even me.

The tests themselves are designed to rule out chance, since chance expectation (with four potential callers) is 25%, actual results- over thousands of tests- are 40%. That is massively statistically significant. You obviously have never read a single one of the studies Sheldrake cites. Anecdotal evidence raises the question but isn't proof of anything, and Sheldrake, as a professionally trained scientist, is perfectly aware of that. That's why the experiments he designed are systematic and statistically measured, designed to distinguish chance from real results and move beyond anecdote.

"The extended mind" is an idea I've come up myself in my own musings. I do believe that any healthy person can be perceptive enough to use information beyond their direct sensory experience. Our brain does something like machine learning on a connectome of current and past sensory experiences. This definitely does make us fitter creatures than a system that could not learn or make predictions under uncertainty. The ability to read emotions on even portions of the face of those around us is a highly evolved sense and heavily influences our minds. I don't come to the same conclusions he does often during the talk, but I still thought a lot of the research he presented was interesting enough to give a like. I liked the guy's question about introducing noise into the system.

Perhaps I can explain. You say that the entire Universe only exists in the mind. I say, that that is the only place indeed in which it does not exist. Because the concept is not the thing. One should not mistake the map for the territory. What is "in our head" is the map. Our mind is the cartographer; a complex system of processes that detect a variety of differences in its environment that it can use to build a simulation of reality. But the simulation will never be "everything" and in comparison to "everything" my mind and your mind and the mind of anyone reading this is only an ephemeral approximated record of the present.

I have often got a definite, distinct feeling or sense of something hidden round a corner when driving, and slowed down. Usually this proves to be another vehicle and usually, too, it happens on fairly narrow roads where a head-on collision might have happened had I not slowed down. The last time this happened, a few months ago, I was returning around 9 am on my most usual route home (I have a choice of three) from dropping off my grandchildren at school along a quite broad and fast, and almost always deserted, country lane. On this occasion, I instinctively slowed almost to 20 mph from just over 50 mph - rather than my usual 45 mph or so - when approaching a particular corner on what had so far been a traffic-free section of my journey. On turning the corner, there was a lady dog-walker having problems with her four (or five? - not sure) dogs, who were spilling over to my side (left, UK) of the road, even though she was on the other side (my right). I slowed even further when I saw her and almost stopped entirely, which gave her time to get the dogs back on her side of the road. If I had been going at my normal speed on this usually empty country road, I would almost certainly not have had time to slow down sufficiently to avoid hitting one or more of the dogs.

The idea that consciousness is a function of the brain is just one of many tenable explanations for our experience. Of these explanations, the idea that consciousness is a function of the brain is not even the most parsimonious explanation. Occam's Razor sides with the idealist position that consciousness is fundamental and that the observable universe exists within mind. There is no reason to believe that consciousness is a function of the brain, and by extension there is no reason to believe that experience ceases with the death of the brain. Physicalism is an obsolete metaphysics.

Materialism also requires the existence of non-experiential primitives that give rise to experience, where as the idealist holds that experience is basic to what exists.

AnduinX BYM The universe existing 'within mind' vs the 'universe existing' has a clear winner in terms of simplicity, I will continue to give you the benefit of the doubt. (I notice that your in your defence you use different terms, this is telling I think.) You say that, "under idealism there is only that which orders experience and it's behaviours." That is true for Materialism. There is just one type of thing, Matter. It is that which orders experience and only it exists, along with it's 'behaviours'. Of-course there are 'interactions' that are not directly tied to experience, this is a 'behaviour' and both theories allow for a multitude of 'behaviours', they must do. Matter does a lot of different things, yes but matter is still all there is. As for your last point, it is merely a continuation of this mistake, plus a reiteration of the definition of Idealism. So what? In the materialist view 'non-experiential primitives' and 'experience' and just different 'behaviours' of the same thing, matter. (same mistake) This again does not show any additional assumptions are required by Materialism, in fact quite the opposite. Like I said, If you want to back up the claim that Idealism is simpler all your work is still ahead of you.

The way I see it is like this, Quantum physics shows us that at the most fundamental level of reality, information processing is what drives everything. So in that sense you can almost think of the universe as one giant computer program, now our minds are like access terminals that are linked to the program. As well as being able to take in information from the program, we can also send information out and affect the program to. I think the term "Universal field" get's used a lot and I imagine that our mind interacts with this field ( could it possibly have anything to do with the EM fields generated by our brains and hearts?) although on subconscious level. Now I am a Jehovah's witness ( Christian ) and my personal beliefs lead me to believe that currently we are in an incomplete or imperfect state, so perhaps right now we are only really experiencing a fraction of our minds true capabilities wherein telepathy and "Mind over matter" might be commonplace. Of course this is just pure speculation and my perspective but I do think that it is quite a good possibility (and I for one couldn't think of anything more amazing). Spare your hatred towards my beliefs as it only shows you aren't a mature adult who can tolerate a difference of opinions.

I have made several observations following the threads to this video and would like to offer a brief summary of them. Those in support of pseudoscientists like Sheldrake do not understand and therefore misuse the words and concepts: dogma, evidence, science, and quantum physics. Due to this misunderstanding and a overpowering ideology, that there is something more to reality than can be discovered using the scientific method and reason, these people are unable to look at these issues objectively. For the same reasons these threads follow a painful template, that being: 1. Someone, like myself, demonstrates why an experiment carried out by, say, Sheldrake was conducted in an unacceptable way and offers numerous pieces of peer reviewed literature backing up that point and indicating why the conclusion of the experiment in question is false. 2. Someone from the "dogma of science" camp responds by saying science is dogmatic! you should believe Sheldrake because he is correct, and proceeds to offer more "evidence" that is, for the exact same reasons, just as problematic. Or, something to the effect of, "the world was once thought to be flat, so what I believe to be true despite currently available evidence must be true" - failing to follow this line of reasoning to the conclusion that anything anyone believes is true is therefore true, because sometimes new evidence proves old theories incorrect. The beauty of the scientific method is that bad theories are disproved when new evidence comes to light, as Einstein said: "No amount of experimentation can prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong." This frustrating circular playing out of comments on these threads seems to fairly conclusively show that the "dogma of science" crew has not understood a word of what has been said by myself and others. And that we who base our beliefs on evidence have thus far failed in our attempts to reason with the unreasonable.

Interesting point about staring. Ever tried to kill a mosquito when it lands on a hard surface? Usually they can 'feel' when they are about to be attacked and fly away. When I was younger, I taught myself this trick: Don't try to squash the mosquito; Train your mind to choose a point on the wall or table and 'squash' that instead. It's easy to train your brain to do this by doing it without any mosquitos involved - Just choose a point on the wall, focus on it, and 'squash' it. After about 30 minutes of training this in my mind on the day I thought it up, since then for many years I have been able to easily kill mosquitos without them ever moving before they get squashed. In fact, after a short while I became able to calmly kill them with the point of my finger - Like pressing an elevator button or light switch. The mosquitos don't ever even try to move because I am squashing the point on the wall underneath them, therefore technically there is nothing threatening them and they are not alerted to anything.

If you look at a single photo you will see far more detail captured than you were aware of at the time of capture. In the same respect, the "leaps of logic" we all have point strong evidence toward our sub-conscious operating in much the same way as our conscious awareness, only it is set to mute and takes in/thinks about great deal more than is ever presented to "you". It makes huge evolutionary sense to. We all know about perceived time-dilation in adrenaline-filled situations and the implications for conscious awareness that brings, that requires a very highly pumped-up brain that is set to "dumb-mode" for day-to-day living to be less demanding. Those individuals possessing a divided conscious in this manner will have had major benefits when it comes to many aspects of social living. If you think of your neural pathways as being akin to the structure of an intertwined forest of trees, turn that picture upside-down(including gravity) and our "conscious" is the dirt the roots would be growing in. A lot of the "magical" abilities of the human conscious are totally understandable in the context of our brains simply being a lot smarter than we ever let them be. There are though, and always will be many even more complex and hidden facets to reality so the human musings over such matters will never cease. If you want to see what I'm talking about then I suggest that you go do a skydive or even just watch something emotive on here and "you" will soon hear what your "mind" has to say about it.

The trick was not worry about being wrong, rather to savor my state of mind when right, then repeating this same state, trail and error, tuning into a external universal field. Who is calling on phone or anything can be intuited ~~

The problem with skepticism is that if you're purely skeptic you risk being blind to the truth. The solution is to be skeptic AND open minded.

Excellent as usual

Around 1:24:02 A questioner asks, what is a morphic field, spoken of by Sheldrake. As an amateur quantum theorist, I intuitively feel that the answer exists there. However, what I'm about to say required some knowledge of QM. In QM, everything exists as imaginary complex abstract vectors; it is reality as we know it that is evident only as the intersection of two complex vectors, one a conjugate of the other in which reality, or what we call 'real', meaning observable and measurable can be found. This is an extremely small subset of complex abstract vectors, and yet by a belief held widely, it supposedly is the only thing that really exists; ordinary people being confounded by the QM and Mathematical definition of the word 'imaginary' and 'complex'. Nevertheless, complex abstract vectors are the bases everything, and the foundation of 'reality'. Once we understand how something which can't be observed or measured can actually exist, and that's the operative word, 'exists', then we begin to understand almost axiomatically what is really going on, and why reality is a product of it. The morphic field could be 'complex' in nature and therefore only manifest though some identifiably unobservable and unmeasurable way other than through the actual physical manifestation of the phenomena of events tested and having statistical results; if anyone should understand that, QM physicists should. As such, we presently have no instruments which can measure the imaginary complex vector space (except for that defined as 'reality' complex vectors and their conjugates), and only a few tests that even hint at this hitherto unobserved, and unmeasured part of existence, these complex vectors which are not conjugates. Right now, the only things we seem to be able to say about these complex abstract forces is that mathematics define it. But, not only does mathematics define complex, imaginary, abstract existence but reality and how and why it exists. Experiments based on this set of mathematics not only predict 'real' data; but, are able to explain what appear to be strange events or behaviors in the 'real' world that defies classical explanations. And although it doesn't explain every strange or weird event or behavior observed in the real world, the explanation could still exist in the theory. So, it is not surprising to me that a morphic field may have no electronic instrument which can detect it, and that like QM the morphic field itself it may contain unobserved and unmeasured things which in turn create reality, which is ultimately revealed by observing the effect it has in nature and that the results like QM, to date, are defined by parameters of probability. Just like Sheldrake's results shown here. Statistical results can show group behavior; even if it can't observe directly any individual's or particle's interaction. Personally, I think it would be absurd to reject evidence of the type shown here, credibility be damned for a scientist unable to objectively accept data showing conclusive proof one way or the other; the very objectivity of science itself is being challenged and under threat by this apparent lack of willingness to even consider "looking through the telescope" and doing the research to make even more independently verifiable proof of the data or the lack thereof. I applaud Sheldrake for admitting the one test failed precognition tests and only produced results nearly identical to random results. For myself, that only builds his credibility. Quote this, and frame it. "Prejudice skepticism, an ignorant bigoted type of skepticism. People who are really skeptical have such a strong belief that they know in advance that the evidence must be wrong. If they believe it is impossible, and someone comes along and provides results which actually show it’s possible, they believe it either proves they are a fool, they've done the experiments so badly or incompetently it produced false positive results and they haven’t been smart enough to see it; or, they’re a fraud and trying to deceive the skeptic and the world. And so, the instant reaction is one of hostility, and accusing people of being fools or frauds." - Sheldrake

Thank you for explaining your understanding of QM and its possible relationship to morphic resonance. Without scientists like Sheldrake and others who are brave enough to look outside the box, science would proceed at a glacial rate with no breakthroughs, no renaissance. I also intuitively feel the answers lie in QM and that eventually one will explain the other. I know of a scientist, a geneticist who has recently had some anomalous experiences in his life (no pathology present - although at first he thought he was going mad). He has now come to accept those experiences although he can't explain them. I found it interesting that when he spoke to his work colleagues about them, he found one or two others who'd also had similar experiences, but the most senior scientist, who was the most open minded, said he did not want to know because he was not "ready for it.". It would have shattered his understanding of the world, and he would have felt lost and unhappy. I think that fear is prevalent amongst not only scientists but many others as well.

I'm tickled by the discovery of Entanglement, for the first time science is gaining a foothold on complex abstract vector space, although one set of equations seem to give a simple answer to Entanglement it fails to describe the phenomena observed in recent tests results showing that the information is traveling at over 10,000x the speed of light. Imaginary Complex vectors can. More on this in a bit, I have to run

So,, to continue... The Entanglement test resulted in a 11-12hr continuous bell's inequality - violation. So, we're starting to expand our understanding. One really good thing to also come out of that test was they disproved the local hidden variable theory, proving Einstein wrong on his spooky action concept. ...

Chip Cooper so numerical descriptions of a thing are all that they are? If I radar a speeding car and it tells me the car is traveling at 80 MPH, does that prove anything other than the fact that it was, at the time of measurement, moving at 80 mph? What is math other than a partial description? Am I a number? Did the sun not exist until we put a number to it?

Steve Perkins Well, I'm not sure where you got the idea I was suggesting that numerical descriptions are the only thing that exists; quite contrary, they are as you say, descriptions only. Visualizations of what it is, since they don't obey the empirical laws we experienced our whole lives don't always give us good visual models, especially in the case of quantum behaviors. But, the bell's inequality measurements actually describe event's which based on describing actual behavior, in classical terms appear as a missing observation of an expected behavior. This is based on a visual understanding of something we can never actually see because it can only be described mathematically from parameters that are beyond classical understanding, the act of observation.

Most times dogs, cats, and other pets spend most of their time napping or sleeping whenever they are not eating, or whenever nothing exciting is happening. Which explains much. I've experienced something similar years ago, Remote Viewing. This could be what they're implementing to know when their owners are coming home. I'll tell you this based off of what I experienced. You can only practice "psychic" abilities during trance/sleep states. Never while awake...

5:15 5:30 Audio is also experienced outside the head, unless you wear headphones and listen to stereo audio where it then becomes inside your head (unless you listen to binaural audio!)

Very embarrassing to put on a public forum, but I have to tell what happened. It happened one night long ago when I was 11 or 12 in 1981 or 82. We were a group of four or five friends, boarders in a residential school in south India waiting for our dinner outside the school dining hall. We spotted a star that was moving. At first we thought it was a satellite, but it was moving randomly. We watched it move around for may be five or ten minutes, until one of us, I don't remember who among us it was said " what if it moved to that star?" pointing to one star that was near our moving star, and lo and behold it went near it and then circled that star, at least thats what it seemed to us then. Then we kept asking it to move to different stars that was nearby and to our surprise it kept moving and circling every star we guys were asking it to do...to make things easier to understand, I'll take the example of the big dipper, If we asked it to move along the handle part of the dipper, it would move and then ask it to come back it would..Now I know its hard to explain because I know these are just random stars that are millions of light years away from each other, but from our perspective it looks like a big dipper, but that night this star did just that, did what we told it to do for may be 1/2 an hour...believe it or not. Two of the witnesses still remember it.

The days before googles corruption.

I went to a gas station store to purchase a money order. I received my money order and proceeded to leave the store. As I was leaving some men were standing outside begging for money. I told them I didn't have anything and walked away as I was walking I heard a voice say go back and get your receipt. I wanted to listen to the voice, but didn't want to come in contact with those men again, so I kept going. later I got home became distracted as I was putting the money order in the envelope. I quickly mailed it and came back to put up the receipt, but couldn't find it. I wondered if I had mailed it, but wasn't sure. later I was told the person who I sent the money order to never received it. I thought back to the voice and realized that's why I was being told to get the receipt, had I gone back I could have recovered my money order.

Your mind was paying more attention than you!

It would be interesting to also study the different results- as he said between countries- and the effect of culture and skepticism, to see if the skeptic is different then open minded. It would be lovely to have the numbers that showed skeptics were unable to access simply because of the reality they create.

This is why we have the feeling when someone is watching. Because we can feel when someone is watching

I knew this was bad, but the crazies really came out of the wood work here.

Very true, the materialist pseudo-skeptics are rampant everywhere these days. Their ideology is failing so they have to react in some way.
