Rupert Sheldrake, the most Heretical Scientist of our time: BBC Special
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- When A New Science of Life was first published in June 1981, it received many favourable reviews and reactions, particularly in the Guardian and New Scientist. These positive responses infuriated the late Sir John Maddox, editor of the journal Nature. He published an editorial denouncing this book in September 1981, entitled A Book for Burning?. In this highly polemical attack he sought to excommunicate Rupert from the world of institutional science and to brand the hypothesis of morphic resonance as heresy.
In 1993, BBC television produced this film about Rupert's work and this controversy.
About the controversy
www.sheldrake....
The Book
A New Science of Life / Morphic Resonance
www.sheldrake....
Dr Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, is a biologist and author best known for his hypothesis of morphic resonance. At Cambridge University he worked in developmental biology as a Fellow of Clare College. He was Principal Plant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics and From 2005 to 2010 was Director of the Perrott-Warrick project, Cambridge.
Heresy against the religion of atheistic scientism. Much respect!
🙄
Orthodoxy is orthodoxy regardless of the belief system.
Much respect to Sheldrake and for everything he's done to rattle the cages of the high priests of scientific orthodoxy. He's a true scientist because he wants to discover beyond the safe little world of accepted science. David Bohm faced the same monstrous wrath of the scientific establishment because his genius overstepped the permitted consensus.
Indeed! 👍
Word
The difference is that Bohmian mechanics has no experimental support whereas Sheldrake can explain experimental results that mainstream science cannot.
More than 40 years after the publication of Rupert Sheldrake’s revolutionary scientific theory, nothing could be more topical and “timely” than watching the reactions of his detractors, who, like “Nature’s” Maddox, did not hesitate to justify the treatment of Galileo by the Holy Inquisition, suggesting that Rupert’s genius deserved the same or worse treatment of his writings and physical body at the stake. But this ferocious outrage against Rupert from the academic establishment of his youth is echoed today in the “Mass Formation Psychosis” whose global sweep has baffled Belgian clinical psychologist Mattias Desmet. “The only explanation I can find for such rapid spread of this irrational phenomenon on a global scale is Rupert Sheldrake’s concept of Morphic Resonance” Desmet told fellow dissenters Robert Malone and Peter McColough in a banned viral interview. What better vindication for Rupert’s monumental contribution to the Spiritual Awakening of Mankind!!
Carl Jung believed only 40% of the population can think in a logical sense, but if you introduce " fear propaganda" that percentage quickly drops down to 15-20%. Hence mass formation psychosis. Have a great day and God bless 🙏.
What is the Mass Formation Psychosis, and do you have a link to the interview? 🙂
@@jackteare8292 Globally deployed, uniform and well-rehearsed fear-propaganda is an important factor in the unprecedented spread of mass psychosis across the world but it’s not enough to explain the adoption of an irrational narrative among both liberal and authoritarian societies within weeks from its inception.
@@DimitrisY Dr. Iain McGilchrist's work on how the left and right hemispheres of the brain interacts with the world is fascinating, the left hemisphere has been targeted for years through propaganda that primes people for this kind of psychosis.( The left hemisphere has speech and when it knows it's right it's right even when it's wrong.) Have a good night and God bless 🙏

Dr Rupert, Science needs more and more thinkers like you! Congratulations for your great work! Thanks a lot and God bless your mind and your way!
You have been a massive, positive influence in my life. Much thanks and appreciation!
Can't be much of a life.
We might even imagine that Rupert's appearance as a Scientist among humanity was the Morphic Field at work
making sure that Important Ideas were not lost. God bless you Rupert, I consider myself fortunate to have become
familiar with your Ideas.
Your theories help explain some of the most nagging mysteries of life that have plagued me since my youth. I will be eternally grateful for your work!
Thank you for your courage, wisdom and love dear Rupert. Your story confirms what’s been written long ago that there’s nothing new under the sun, that history repeats (or at least it rhymes) - and among many examples from past just like the Catholic Church was burning and punishing Bruno, Galileo and others, today’s church of scientism burns and punishes free-thinkers and seekers of truth...
Galileo was placed under house arrest by the church. It would make a better story if he had been burned at the stake.
Thank you so much Prof. Sheldrake
What a true pioneer we have in Dr Rupert Sheldrake. His theories have enlightened my life. I salute you Rupert.
Rupert Sheldrake is a national treasure
INTERNATIONAL! Universal!! Wherever you are, there he is, with the truth.
Yes!
For bourgeois spiritual flakes.
20 bucks and you can take him home
Kudos to this insightful and somewhat fearless man. It takes many Galileos, Magellans, Copernicuses, Newtons, Einsteins and, yes- Sheldrakes- in the stream of time to break the always forming brittle glass of creedal beliefs. In each case, enlarged freedom results. Godspeed on the rest of your journey, sir.
I would substitute Nikola Tesla for the plagiarist Einstein.
@@cassandraseven3478 Who did he plagiarise?
@@oneoflokis Hunh. My reply was deleted. One last time: Poincare, Lorentz, Soldner, Gerber and others, for a fuller story search Henry Makow's archives.
@@cassandraseven3478 Thanks! 🙂
If that’s what the BBC say, I believe the opposite. Bravo to all the Sheldrakes. One of Earth’s most interesting and entertaining families.
True
I think the bbc did a pretty fair and balanced job here of presenting this important theory, they wouldn't do the same nowadays.
Fantastic, Rupert! You are a true hero and revolutionary - in the best sense of the words!
We need more people like Rupert. Cudos for standing your ground - I believe science needs to be more open to theories albeit being rather controversial . We have seen this in history, objection until there is so much evidence that you have to incorporate the new idea🎉❤
To question consensual rigid assumptions and to seek to expand theories by investigating anomalies and original insights is truly scientific. A sign of an intelligent and free mind is openness and attraction to so called heresies. Thank God for scientific integral souls like Sheldrake’s.
Your thoughts have enriched my life, and helped me keep my sanity. Thank you so much for choosing the difficult path of the Dissident.
Rupert is the only scientist I’d love to learn under. If he was my mentor I’d be the most inspired student
'A New Science of Life' then is clearly a must have item for any library. Just ordered a copy :)
I had the honor to interview Dr Sheldrake several years ago. What a treasure.
So Maddox is acknowledging that Science is Religion, and that they would "condemn Sheldrake with same arguments the Pope used with Galileo".
And Galileo was right as well!
So was G Bruno

It always amazes me that it's only people of faith that are accused of holding biases towards their theories. But of course, atheists/evolutionists could not possibly be holding biases towards their theories, could they?
Spot on!!! For example, the multiverse paradigm has zero experimental support. I see it as a futile attempt to deny the existence of a creator.
Atheists at the highest echelons of science appear to be driven by extremely guilty consciences.
A scientific theory has been trialed and tester until proven otherwise.
Seeing young Merlin and Cosmo just there as children is crazy
Rupert sheldrake for the NOBLE-PRIZE… he so deserves this for his outstanding discoveries!
Sheldrakes incredible theory reminds me of Jung's theory of the collective unconscious...there are parallels and I think he's a genius.
Witch burning isn’t the only tool modern science employs. We now have cancelation, deplatforming, and shunning. Science has made great strides.
That is hardly science doing those things.
Dr sheldrake is a living legend!!!!!! Long live the good Dr. He has seen things no one has seen before, and no one will ever see again!...
Very interesting and finally a real scientific searcher.
refused to be in the same room as him! That's ROOMATISM!
So many of us that totally agree 👍
Wolpert ,Maddox and Rose had feelings hurt......
i will never forget my first exposure to you was a PBS program including yourself and a few peers discussing biology and neuroscience.
my recollection was that you were treated well by some and not by others but i still regarded the notion of Morphic Resonance to be a plausible theory to explain real phenomena like psychic perception as demonstrated in animals such as dogs as well as in humans.
i recognize that Morphic Resonance has much deeper implications for science.
i think its worth pursuing.
I really appreciate Rupert Sheldrake who is trying to open up our ideas about existence of life to get some genuine answers to lots of questions raised
He's trying to comprehend what he saw when playing with Terrence.

While being out of any possible acoustic range or other pods inbetween.
Sounds familiar.
What a great guy you are Rupert - an original 'thinker' - It would have been great having you as my dad (I loved my dad, who was smart but not allowed to access most of the opportunities in life that he would have benefitted from).
Epic! You are the most inspiring scientist in my mind
As a recovering Catholic, I find it humorous that when Pope Francis said that animals enter Heaven the whole ideology of Heaven and what it is, changed overnight. I had been cast to suffer the tolls of Hell by Priests and Nuns for believing that Heaven was the Garden of Eden with all the graces of god's flora and fauna.
Yes: they were so sure, for quite a while, that animals didn't have souls, weren't they? 😏
I think that Rupert's ideas about how manufactured crystals are exceptionally difficult to create and teaching rats new tricks are very insightful.
The idea is that once someone anywhere in the world has manufactured a difficult crystal it then becomes easier for anyone else to do it.
Running rats through a maze .. once the rats anywhere in the world have solved the maze it then becomes easier for any rat anywhere to solve it.
If you have not watched Rupert Sheldrake's "banned" Ted Talk then you should. ua-cam.com/video/JKHUaNAxsTg/v-deo.html
Rupert goes on to talk about the science of Metrology. The science of Measuring.
I would LOVE Love love to get Adam Savage and Rupert Sheldrake in the same room together to talk about Metrology.
On this note I would like to leave you with a suggestion about what to read next: "Entangled Life." by Merlin Sheldrake.
Aloha
Thanks for the link, & The book recommendation! 🙂👍
I once suggested to Rupert that Chess would be a good area to experiment with Morphic resonance, especially chess puzzles which should according to his hypothesis be easier to solve the more they have been solved.
Anyone who's played chess will have had the feeling that the opponent can read your mind. I wonder if the world's best players use tricks of deception to throw their opponents off the scent so to speak.
I am a Heretic also but what helped me was when I realized that I was a contrarian. I don't believe in establishment theories.
He dares to ask the forbidden question.... but WHY. Where fearful minds find comfort in limiting their thoughts and understanding only to the "whats and hows", Sheldrake bravely goes deeper and asks WHY. He may be completely wrong, but highest praise unto him for pursuing reason beyond (and behind) answers. He puts the Ph back in PhD.
I find Lamarckism, the collective unconscious, non-local consciousness, the Askashic field and the morphic field all incredibly interesting subjects, so it's great to see such an open-minded scientist.
The unified field also. All those you mentioned most probably are different names to the same thing. 🙏
@@libertadx4 Yes, that's why I mentioned them all together. The thing is, they are studied separately, so each contributes a different kind of evidence for something very big, that conventional science doesn't understand. I could have added many other things like ESP, clairvoyance, remote viewing, out of body experiences, NDEs, etc, etc. It's an amazingly interesting subject.
@@banginghats2 yes! All of those you mentioned too! 😍 We belong to an alive holographic expanding universe and all those point to the nature of consciousness and Being 🙏💕
@@libertadx4 I often wonder if closed-minded scientists like Sir John Maddox are looking on from the Other Side and thinking, "My God, look at how wrong I was!"
@@banginghats2 I am inspired by your wonderful wondering 😍 The experience of living in a dualistic world always carries that fantastic risk of finding one’s mind, changing positions or perspectives between two extremes and suddenly realising there is truth in both and in between a transformative higher, inclusive perspective emerges. The blessing of paradox 😍🙏
This helps. Timely. Always aware more, thanks to RS. Roots here are clear and resonate even more today. Rupert's vibe is with me daily. Peace Cheers Onward.
Maddox: "I think it's dangerous that people in our liberal societies should be allowed..." Lost me at "allowed". And then referenced as a recommendation the treatment of Galileo by the church, as if to prove the point. Big respect to Ru-Dog!
... as a German Biologist - Science is NOT “Religion” - it is in essence An Archistic.
As Pythagoras says: Mathematoi - to PROVE... When Sheldrake becomes Religuous he self destroys
I remember watching this back in 93 it has stayed with me ever since. After I watched his Morphic resonance talk I thought well maybe I can learn this Yngwie Malmsteen song just through Morphic resonance and attempted to play the classical guitar part in trilogy without thinking I played it straight through it was like I knew exactly where he placed his fingers and at the time, still now, I wasn’t that good a guitarist.
Tolkien's huge success really got up the noses of the academics too.
How sad! You are a brave man!
Hearing Sheldrake discuss the necessity of fields for flocking/schooling behaviour is interesting because we now know of the boids algorithm (there's a a demo you can find online if you search for it) that show how an arrangment of rules for individual's actions causes this emergent behaviour. But this was filmed in 1981 and the boids program was created in 1986.
Rupert Sheldrake is an earthly treasure my personal hero.
Rupert knows that science like everything else is controlled by the Wealthy and Powerful:
``Anything that seriously disturbs human society is absolutely not allowed to exist.''
Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Gong
Have always liked Rupert's ideas since I lived in England in the late '70s. Now there is so much evidence that he was going in the right direction (e.g. check out Michael Levin, biologist and computer scientist).
Does the idea of morphic resonance add weight to Oswald Spengler's ideas about the nature of cultures (ultimately civilisations)? Where a culture is largely an isolated entity with a unique identity and purpose. A phenomenon that seeks to fulfil its potential on that basis but, like an organism, once achieved it must suffer degradation and die?
I think Spengler believed that all members of a culture are in effect "trapped" within it and have no choice but to be outsiders when they view and experience other cultures, even when they attempt to adopt elements of other cultures.
It seems to me that all of this would be explained by morphic resonance acting on a kind.
Sheldrake is a genius not a heretic .He is more inspired than those professors who stick their heads in the sand .
From BBC TV 1993 🌈🦉
Children are being born nowadays without wisdom teeth. How long has our modern diet been affecting the size of our jaws? Is it more easily accounted for by genetic mutations or through acquired characteristics?j
Well, you managed to sway me from the clutches of institutional conformity Dr Sheldrake 🖖
R.S. ..................will Morphic Resonance one day , help eliminate pissy old professors ?????
Our good brother,
Rupert Sheldrake.
Bbc couldn't and wouldn't make a program like this anymore
All Sheldrake is really describing is another parameter by which information might be transferred in biology, as well as by DNA.
Editor of Nature... now where have I fairly recently read about Nature? Considering I've been mostly been reading about The World Economic Forum of late and its ties to Nazi Hitler... well, that would make sense, the keen willingness to go after someone for the heinous crime of wanting to research a different possibility or opinion.
Wouldn't the branding iron appear reversed?
Yours is the correct and winning method of thinking.
I love Dr. Sheldrake
Orthodoxy is orthodoxy regardless of the belief system.
Sheldrake is a rockstar
So, even the most heretical scientist of our time has been given an air time on BBC, in a documentary especially devoted to him. Apart from the matter of a choosing a title that woulld provoke interest, it's also about painting a picture of great freedoms of speech. Now, 29 years later, hardly a comparable treatment is being given to heretical scientists like Denis Rancourt or Stephanie Seneff, just to name a couple.
"I've got friends who refuse to be in the same room as him" the other professor said........THEN YOU SHOULD NO LONGER COUNT THEM AS FRIENDS, DON'T YOU THINK ?
For myself, the word that almost immediately comes to mind is - FASCISTS !!!
Gratefully Rupert Sheldracke to wisely carried on and keep calm♾ soon the children of this new earth are going to live the most plausible and correct explanation of all singularities beginning. Thank you so much to allow us to understand life🙌

Bingo

Dear Rupert,more,more,more..
Superb!
Definitely not the most heretical scientist. However, he is one of the most popular heretical scientists.
So you’ve always been a top bloke then 👍
The camel’s pads developed by use were passed down?
To develop further, is the theory proposing that the habit that my father had is passed down to me?
THE WAY I SEE IT, THOSE WALKING CASKETS SHOULD PROVE HIM WRONG INSTEAD OF CENSORING HIM..SEEING AS THE SCIENTIFIC MODEL IS BASED ON THE IGNORANCE OF A SUBJECT..IF WE KNEW IT ALL THEN RUPERT WOULDNT BE BACKING HIS THEORY
Love you Rupert, and proud of you! ✨
bravo
Morphic resonance feet well with banned quantum mechanics theory of aether. Everything comes from aether or wast intelignt energy which contains blueprint of life, forms and shapes.
There is intervention by Father the creator. Just ask a NDEer . Time in the Spirit realm is different than here in the physical world. Only Fathers realm is eternal. One does not have a explanation for everything , Only that it is. Morphic residence occurs not only with living creatures and Souls. But physical matter as well. Just look at electron experiments during Einstein's time. Do you know who you were in your past life. Do you know why you chose to be born into life as you were?
Outright inquisitiveness and the loss of dogma is the truth of scince, unless you are willing to be wrong and proven wrong you can never be right.
Profound
Music too loud, quite annoying actually
Sheldrake is a great scientist ... he's theories will make its way through history
He should have a californian exotic strain named for him.
Heretical? The gentleman makes perfect sense to me.

Out of all ofnthis amazing info, my love for him and his genius, I can only focus on how shit and bland that dinner looked, and how unenthused everyone looked.
🙏
Gosh, Rupert: you looked so cherubic back then... 🙂
Science has always worked as such- people build up a body of knowledge that supports an idea which hopefully helps us understand and better navigate the world. Individuals come along and challenge the idea being held currently (call it a paradigm) and the proponents of the paradigm defend it. Eventually when enough evidence is presented to not only topple the old paradigm, but establish a new one, we shift to the new one. The greatest names in science are those who challenged established paradigms. People like Newton, Galileo, and Einstein. They faced vitriol and hate from the defenders of the old paradigm , only to end up on the right side of history and be remembered as heroes.
But for every one Galileo, there were 10 people who challenged the paradigm without proper evidence. They attacked the current scientific consensus without a new consensus to establish in its place and not enough evidence to support their claims.
Only history will tell the difference between those heroes brave enough to create a new paradigm and the grifters who merely challenge accepted ideas because they think they know more than everyone else. Beware these grifters, there are many more of them than the geniuses.
I wonder when he first encountered Jung
I follow Rupert
Amen!
