The Force of Habit: New Tests for Morphic Resonance

Rupert’s full 8-part Morphic Resonance video course is now available for £49, including a live Q&A session to take place in November, 2023
sheldrake.org/MRcourse
In this talk I discuss new ways in which the hypothesis of morphic resonance can be tested, including with holistic quantum systems like Bose-Einstein condensates, with new materials like high-temperature superconductors, through experiments on cellular adaptation to toxins and heat stress, in experiments on learning in non-human animals, including nematode worms and fruit flies, and with popular online puzzles like Wordle.
The implications of these tests, if successful, would be very far reaching, and could lead to new understandings of physical phenomena like the melting points of crystals, which would depend on influences from previous similar crystals, rather than on timeless laws. In biology, morphic resonance from past organisms would play an essential role in heredity, in addition to genes and epigenetic modifications of gene expression. In humans, collective memory would facilitate learning and problem-solving, and morphic resonance would underlie what the psychologist Jung called ‘the collective unconscious’.
This is one of six talks on potential breakthroughs in the sciences. The full series, together with course materials, including relevant chapters from Rupert’s books and scientific papers, are available for a reduced price of £35 (as of June 30, 2023).

    Agreed! Rupert's theory of morphic resonance rings true for so very many things! The more we attune to and normalize it, the more beneficial applications can be found. I'm not at all scientifically minded, but I nonetheless conceived of innumerable possibilities to test out. What if, for example, humans could better adapt to or gain increased resilience against conditions that we currently find challenging simply by cohabitating with plants or animals unaffected by conditions to which we are vulnerable? I also see innumerable correlations to interpersonal, psychological, and societal effects that would enable us to be more intelligently deliberate in our responses to one another and to events so as to tip the scales toward more positive outcomes. I see many parallels between morphic resonance, the wisdom traditions in spirituality, and the worldview, practices, and astonishing technologies of Indigenous peoples. This suggests that Rupert is really on to something, and that the bridge he provides between science and what colonizing cultures have dismissed as woowoo superstition promises nothing short of quantum leaps forward for humanity

Your question contains the assumption that "the morphic fields" are elsewhere rather than everywhere always, whether we're aware of it or not. It's possible that there's something for us to realize, learn from reflecting upon what and how we experience in the dream state that might open us to possibilities in the waking world.

    Regards the rat learning: A friend who enjoyed scuba diving noticed a dozen lobsters circled something. Curious, he swam over to see what fascinated them. He realized they encircled a well-baited lobster trap. After his swim, he asked someone about local lobster fishing. He was told it was "once very good" but lately it had "obviously been fished out." He didn't tell them there were still lots of lobsters, but they were trap-smart.

    I attest to your conclusion… I’m a long time angler, and those of us who have fished passionately for decades have witnessed and agree that certain species of fish we target tend to learn a specific lure or pattern and will act as if they know that the lure or pattern is going to result in possible danger… even species that are stocked and can’t reproduce seem to, in time generation after generation learn the same way, I actually make lures and sell them and I have witnessed firsthand how this phenomenon occurs…. In fact when I first became privy to Rupert, my exact words were… aha, I knew it!… thank you Rupert!

    I don’t know what country you live in but I live in 🇬🇧 the UK. The government merely suggested that people might want to wear a face mask and 99% of people did not what they were told, but what they were merely *nudged* into doing. Before the globalistdemic I would have been similarly hopeful but reality hit me in the face hard. They suggested that everyone should have several injections of a mystery substance that they didn’t need and people just went along with it. I proclaimed with passion that it was a poison and no one who took it listened to me and now they’ve got multiple health issues that they never had before. Some have actually admitted that I was right. A few have declared to never have another one but the harm has been done, because in some cases, they are not here anymore - the poison did what it was intended to do. .

    It's possible to add nuances to that, which are more likely to produce positive outcomes than the factioned anarchy likely to result from indiscriminate distrust. "Trust no one" is not a beneficial strategy, given the innately social and interdependent nature of humans. What appears to be happening is the falling away of de facto trust even in the face of evidence that trust is not merited. It's a kind of evolutionary development from the gullible blind loyalty of children to a more mature and resilient pattern of holding people accountable for their actions. If we think of traditional leadership, power, influence, control (by government, clergy, media, wealthy, famous) as having behaved like unchecked abusive parents, the general population is now growing up and able to assess, challenge, and assert boundaries against such abuse to end it's proliferation. Just as there are, indeed, good parents, and healthy family systems are possible, so too can public institutions, systems, and organizational structures be. Within the theoretical framework of morphic resonance, it's imperative for individual members of society to "hold the frequency" of the possibility for improvement rather than be dragged into resonating with the polarized chaotic destruction that is equally possible to overtake humanity.

    Hi Rupert you mentioned epigenetic transmission to the next generation. Would you say the transmission contains all the learning the parents have acquired up to the point of fertilisation. So if either parents conceive again the next progeny would include the epigenetic of the previous one plus the additional learning gained since the previous conception?

Later that day, my wife went into the room where I was going to watch and she started singing the song that I was trying to prevent her from hearing. I immediately asked her why she started singing THAT song and when the last time was it just popped into her head. She said it had been months and she had no idea why it just popped in there. I instantly thought of morphic resonance.

    I have posed this suggestion before as a comment to a different YT upload, but I'll ask again here because I'm genuinely interested to hear what you think, Rupert. Recently (in about the last five or ten years) there has been a noticeable and reported change in behaviour of fish in many regions of the Mediterranean. A few species of fish have begun to come closer to shore in order to bite the dead skin from people paddling in the water - swimmers tend to be less affected. Some instances have actually led to minor injuries (reported in newspapers) but for the most part this fish biting (which I have personally experienced) doesn't damage your skin. What intrigues me is that in the few years prior to this significant change in fish behaviour, there was the invention and widespread rollout of fish pedicures - tanks with small fish for clients to place their feet in. These fish pedicures are still widely available in some parts of Europe although I believe they were banned in other regions including UK due to health concerns. So might it be, I wonder, that the fish in the sea are learning this new trick from their cousins "working" in the tanks perhaps through morphic resonance? Certainly this curious change in the behaviour of fish happened shortly after the introduction of fish pedicures and so the possible cause and effect appears more than pure coincidence.

    This is quite interesting, I've paused the video to write this before i watch. I was in my car, on lunch break, 15 minutes ago. I was thinking about how my view of god and religion has evolved since finding Plasma Cosmology and Morphic Resonance. I come back from lunch and you've posted a new video! Very curious. My view is that an electric universe wouldn't be much different than a brain cell. If this was the case, then it's not much of a stretch that the natural state of the universe would be something akin to pure conciousness. This makes us all basically radios tuned to a unique portion of this bandwidth. If we call this conciousness "God" then God is indeed omnipresent. God does indeed have a connection to everyone regardless of religion or creed. That we are, indeed, made in his image. Scientifically even! In this scenario, Morphic Resonance is almost certainly the mechanism by which these connections are made. So thank you Rupert. Not only for helping me clarify my beliefs in God, but also for opening my mind and realizing that its all theoretical! Closing our minds to any of the theories is silly and counterproductive! If nothing else, even a an absurd theory can be fun. We ARE still allowed to have a little fun, are we not?

But if I am somewhere else or at another computer I struggle to remember passwords. I think its because at my computer that is where the memory was created and when I am physically at my computer, my mind is somehow connected to physical space in front of the computer, but when physically somewhere else, part of that memory is missing, not in my mind but in space. So it reminds me of how strong smell and taste in conjunction with being physically somewhere a memory was made say in childhood can trigger an almost time warp effect of acute memory.

  • @dekhrahahoon

    I tested MR, admittedly with a sample size of one and quite unscientific. I first considered that physicists have no explanation for the physical laws themselves, and that MR very neatly explained them. Why are they so finely tuned? Because the behaviours that didn't persist died out, the ones that did created a huge store of 'did it this way' behaviour that, with enough gazillions of repetitions, became so consistent as to become a law. This argument convinced me that MR is the correct explanation. So I asked myself: If I really do think that this is the correct explanation, to the point that I can say I know why certain things occur, then I must know some specific things that haven't yet happened. At that point I had not yet contracted covid. I noticed some people had bad reactions, some little or none. I said: people who know they had a bad reaction have two things in common: that knowledge, and the fact that they had a bad reaction. And likewise for those who know they had mild reactions. So I said: If I am convinced that Sheldrake is right, then let me know, now, before I get covid, that I will have a mild reaction. That will put me in the collective that also know they had mild reactions. Like the rest of this group, I should expect that my covid experience would be like that of the rest of the group, because that is how our group always have behaved. And I did get covid, had a very mild effect, whilst another person in the household, who presumably caught the same strain and had the same vaccinations at the same time, was significantly sicker. Unfortunately I forgot to know that my illness would only last a few days, and I had this mild infection for two weeks! - Ron House.

    Could morphic resonance account for architectural similarities between greatly separated civilisations in the ancient world, particularly with regards to the ubiquitous pyramid design? Does cave art differ wildly across the world? Arrowheads might be very similar due to many arriving at the same solution because it was the only one, (unless they emerged globally within just a few years), but what about, stylistically speaking, ancient carvings of animals and people?

    Dr. Sheldrake, I'd love to create an online puzzle game (word or otherwise) to collect data for you! I'm not associated with any existing online games, but have a background in software engineering, web, and game development. The puzzle pictures seem less susceptible to leakage, as it seems disclosing "it's a cowboy" to an uninformed person wouldn't necessarily prompt a perception of the hidden image, whereas "today's word is 'tract'" fully conveys the solution. A game that involves tracing a hidden subject, for instance, might prove more watertight? Many more ideas spring to mind. I should also think that a portion of your 72K subscribers, with submissions over time, could yield a sample large enough to determine statistical significance.

    Morphic Resonance is an example of the mirroring of reality. Just as there is an external form, there is an energy field that holds memory. When you apply these principals to mind itself, we see that our thoughts and beliefs are the gravity and light that sustain our personal reality and entangle into the collective reality and in turn into the physical reality and in turn into the virtual. Change agreements or beliefs all of the "Egregores/Programs" that create these fields in the inner matrix of the mind as "action"... not noun of mind as a thing. Apples and Oranges🍄🙏🕸

In particular, where does it come from? The explanation for Bach or Beethoven is expected any day now. Not only the transcendent quality of the music but how do we explain the dramatic, spontaneous, seemingly purposeful developments from one to the other?

I am recording now to see if , ( as I believe) I get it correct in 3 more readily and frequently if I wait till later in the day when more people have attempted it so the collective consciousness has an inkling of what the solution is. I well up on getting it in 3 if I wait till later in the day.

    I have failed to include in my observations my own “ state of being”. This fluctuates wildly and what I have observed is that everything occurs in waves … so I have a run ( as it were ) of horrible, horrible, horrible and then (by my own efforts )? Or other universal factors I am swept into success and more success . This maybe merely the Buddhist ideas of “ everything changes / this too will pass “ , but at 71 I see the bigger picture a little better now and if feels like other factors are in play. I have had in the past many what most would call strange experiences, but too me were truly awesome ( in the real meaning of the word ). I hope this message reaches you Rupert.

    I'm sure I'm not the first person to make this observation, but it seems to me that morphic resonance is creation itself. It is actually how consciousness expands or takes its forms. I know the Vedic tradition in its literature describes this process ,and I just note the analogous process in the description of how morphic resonance is operating as a way to change reality, really. You could say it is "God's thought in action". (feel free to borrow the slogan. lol) ;)

Quantum Gravity Research Institute with its theory of The Self Simulation Hypothesis has similar criticisms from scientific community as it doesn’t fit into the materialistic reductionist narrative, yet in quantum mechanics it is accepted that all is the same quantum wave function in the universe as well as information which allegedly expands with time, which to me is the same as self simulation but put into different words. All is unfortunately about politics. It appears to me that if the narrative is mechanical reductionism then it removes the need for moral code if necessary… just saying
