Do we need to rid ourselves of the modern science paradigm? Should we seriously consider scientific theories like panpsychism? And what benefits do practices like playing sports, fasting and taking psychedelics all have in common? In this interview, Rupert Sheldrake discusses science and spiritual practices, and why it is crucial we live in the now.

Rupert is a real man of science. Humble and with boundless curiosity
He hasn't actually done any science since the late 1970's.
@@williamoarlock8634 A dumb comment. Neither has bloody Richard Dawkins (depending on your definitions.)
His ideas are 100% spot on. Thank you for interviewing him and posting this.
He is quite right. Tesla stated that science would make much more advances if it studied the non-physical. Was nice to see Sheldrake take up that challenge despite opposition.
Great choice! Rupert is awesome! Using science to show the flaws in modern scientific discourse. We need many more like him.
I remember when I first went out into the world on my own barely 18. I was so disoriented in a big city from growing up in a small town. I had anxiety to the point of a couple of panic attacks. A co-worker at the job I found asked me out to play floor hockey. As soon as I had the stick in my hand and started running around stickhandling and passing the ball doing something I was good at and had done all my life. My mental health improved 100% almost immediately. I was operating on reflexes and living in the moment. I will never forget that experience. Rupert is absolutely right. God bless him.
I am thankful that Prof Sheldrake is willing to speak his truth. It enables non-scientists, like me, to conclude they are not simply "ignorant" if they do not agree with mechanistic materialism but have come to think, through experience, that animism makes sense.
you can disagree with anything, disagreeing doesn't make it false
This is very true in Folk Dancing and harmonic singing, especially a capella, which many people do.
I believe gratitude is a big factor towards a happier life.
There is a whole chapter on gratitude in Rupert's book (Science and Spiritual Practices) - so you are spot-on! Gratitude - according to Rupert - has been scientifically proven to be THE MOST significant factor in determining personal happiness.
Thank you.
Creating art put me in a state of presence 🙂
That can also happen with the creative process. I have lost myself, lost time and sense of space in the creation of a piece of art.
I like coming across scientists who don't disregard possibilities, like here not disregarding spirituality opening more possibilities and more to explore.
A true holistic mind. For real civilisation to happen we need the time to do these things. To get to this point we need:
1. Free food for all
2. Free housing for all
3. Free medicine for all
4. Free education for all
5. A global duty to look after the old
These steps will give us the freedom from societal slavery to find the values and spirituality mentioned above.
One might say Rupert points out how misguided our vision of these things currently are. Free garbage.
How wise and benevolent! ☺
I really can't wait until this catches on
Wonderful to listen to!
Excellent..... thanks 🙏.
What an extraordinary analysis! Thank you so much for sharing your spiritual ideas - we do need some concepts beyond materialism.
Thanks.❤️🙏
The universe is consciousness about itself. Nothing else. Because consciousness is all there is.
I love him and his books, and when he started talking in this video I thought he was talking about my unwritten book :D(I have talked about sports, learning from animals, etc as spiritual practices for a long time)However, when he talks about default mode network, I think he is not right where he says DMN is active when we have the chattering mind, anxiety, and depression. Actually, DMN is activated when we are daydreaming and is associated with creativity. In conditions such as anxiety and depression DMN is altered or does not have it's natural synchronized pattern.
Sheldrake is a genius. I agree with his worldview.
I just bought the two books that he mentions in this video.
Thank u hx
Isn't it beautiful how just as Rupert Sheldrake discusses nature being animate, at 11:04 some bird (?) whizzes past in the background. 🐦 I believe that the creation recognizes his spirit.
he lived their for 7years that's awesome...
At 10:57 When Sheldrake discribes panpsychism a bird flys across the screen and says yeah.
Yoga meditation is the highest form of activity.
🔥🔥🔥
Is it possible to study scientist, e.g, PhD in chemistry whilst also benefiting from these spiritual practices resulting from panpsychism?
Yes, why not. Keep an open mind to all possibilities.
Spiritually is necessary if science is to progress. No one says it better than scientific historical romance author Alan Lightman. Checkout his thoughts on recasting. Science and religion. Recasting a clever choice of wording.
what is that thing at 11:03?
🧘 Yoga meditation is the highest form of activity and service to humanity.
I agree with rupert on basically everything but the camel example didn't really show anything. We need a super concise super focused video with only the most clear cut and strong proofs to convince the world!
this is so weird I was sure I commented this on a different video, there arent even any camels in this one
fly-fishing practice
🌚☄️❤️💫
Sound quality is terrible.
He prays , to whom or to what?
LindaF,
I've seen a video by Rupert called "Rediscovering God", with Britain being a Christian country so I assume he believes in Christianity like myself as well as saying at the end not doing something on Sunday (Sabbath Day).
Not all spiritual practices are religious, like I do Tai Chi as well as Christian spiritual practices.
Concerning the purpose of nature and the process of evolution is possibly life. As we're changing the environment by things like climate change all living things are evolving with it, so I see evolution as a process of all life remaining unified. Just by looking at nature on this earth we can see all nature requires nature for survival.
Your mom
Meditation??
Give the fiscal poor access to this training
Drugs will take one away from ultimate reality.
why not skip the irritating noises at the beginning? They’re such tired cliché now.
Drug taking is detrimental to ones spiritual evolution.
I'm 74, I have no idea why anyone would need to have his mind opened up. Do some people get brought up in a cardboard box or something? Eg, Eckhart Tolle. 🤔 not impressed. Sorry, but it's just a nonsense to me.
Listing living in India as a credential id hilarious
