Where there is nothing, it means everything is in balance and cancels out, and so it is true that something can come from nothing. That is the complexity and the beauty of the consciousness that we are all a part of.

A common response from those that can't even comprehend what is being said is to say the author isn't knowledgeable. They said to Jesus, "Admit it! Don't we have it right that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a devil? " (John 8:48... They didn't even have a CLUE! ) Being called a "moron" by people lacking in self control is mild in comparison, but morons are simply not usually THAT adept at English composition. Even Forest Gump, though, who was presented as being somewhere CLOSE to a "moron", was still not STUPID! He was NOT unkind, and he CERTAINLY was never abusive. When he learned what he DID learn, he learned it WELL. So "morons" - even if they really ARE - can, and sometimes do, have their attributes (something you can learn from THEM. )
So good to hear you speak Sir. I was telling them all that Science these days is a religion. I get my head bitten of with hot denials, or sad patronising looks. I cannot accept the evidence of my own experience being wrong, because it certainly has happened to me and for me. So empowering to hear someone from well educated academia saying these things.

Former Biology lab director at Temple Univ. Japan, and Associate Prof. of linguistics, Jissen Women's College, 3 time judge of Tokyo University's All Japan English Speech Contest writing here. Within 5 minutes of hearing this lecture, I bought the Kindle version of his book. Long having read 'The God Delusion' and being thoroughly disappointed ... I find in the good Mr. Sheldrake a kindred spirit. With background in biology ... and then philosophy of science, (T.S. Kuhn, Karl Popper, etc.), and then other STEM fields, philosophy proper, and linguistics ... (Wittgenstein, Godel, Einstein, Joseph Campbell, Jill Bolte Taylor, Frans de Waal, etc.) - I see a slightly more sober and historically-grounded lecture here, but similar to the way I taught biology to non-science majors ... www.quora.com/If-someone-ask-you-to-point-to-heaven-which-way-would-you-point/answer/Steven-Martin-2 Having watched the complete lecture, I now realize he is, indeed, a kindred spirit, sharing these three things in common: 1 - accepting of science as a good heuristics grounded in verifiable common sense, 2 - skeptical of science as a dogma, and the dangers of institutionalization of this heuristics, 3 - and realizing that quantification of any phenomenon is little more than a boot-strapped, provisional, social construct, the majority of that community safely supported by not questioning the paradigm ... 'the publish or perish' paradigm in academia (gotta feed the family and pay the rent), or the banality of evil in the Eichmann trials defense at Nuremburg ... 'just following orders'. Looking forward to reading his book, and writing my own. My angle is more toward the socio-economic implications of the mechanical delusion. We are social primates, first and foremost, and more of a post-hoc rationalizing beast rather than a rational machine. We are also hierarchical, especially when we exceed community sizes and become herding primates, and in the worst case, swarming primates. The consistent percentage of any population that are 'dark triad' types - narcissists, opportunists, and psychopaths - are given an advantage when we exceed small communities with empathy-driven moralities to large populations (beyond Dunbar's Number) that necessarily rely on rule-driven moralities (tradition, law, algorithms, etc.). Institutionalization of communities (scientific, religious, political, art, etc.) inevitably means the shift from empathy-driven morality to rule-driven morality, and thus the advantage of those who rise to power by gaming the system ... those 'dark triad' types. The same sociological patterns can be observed in Japan, a secular land of a thousand gods. As a minority member of a culture, (white male living in Japan for 36 years) who was bullied into resigning from a tenured Professor's position some 5 years ago, and mysteriously unable to find even a single part-time college teaching job in one of the most densely populated places on the planet (Tokyo). I am just finishing reading 'Mirror of Modernity: Invented Traditions of Modern Japan', www.amazon.com/Mirror-Modernity-Traditions-Twentieth-Emergence/dp/0520206371. This is eerily similar to the social dynamics behind Chomsky's 'Manufacturing of Consent'. I would guess that there is some deliberate, dark triad behavior at work in the institutionalization and fossilization of science, art, and religion as well ... but also a large, collectively unconscious aspect. Something to further explore. The current mission-drift/creep of hierarchical power - Nation States, Multinational Corporations, and yes schools ... take a look at Harvard's original mission statement and compare that with the Goldman Sachs larvae-breeding ground it has become - towards right-wing nationalism and extreme concentrations of wealth (Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Chris Hedges, William Blum, etc.) allows the emergent chaos and inevitable 'Tower of Babel' fall from hubris, to become predictable, if not controllable. Just some observations. ... I have to admit though, having lived and worked this long without accruing an ounce of social currency, I am a bit more pessimistic than the good Mr. Sheldrake. Chomsky's brief anecdote in his 2011 Chapel Hill speech is as good an example as any as to why I am becoming more pessimistic by the day ... ua-cam.com/video/UZbW7lvGkuA/v-deo.html Time to kick back with a beer, watch a bit of vintage Monty Python, and open up my Kindle version of his book. Maybe become inspired to write my own. Good show, Mr. Sheldrake!
@@livthedream91 Thank you LIV ... was aghast at returning from dinner to find both my spell-checker 'typos' and my real ones. Too much said, and not enough, but with that beer long since gone, will settle down and include his book in my rotation today. I am glad to see he has at least a few more UA-cam videos. Quora seems to have gone the way of vanity press or extended twitter ... so I'm enjoying these UA-cam a lot more lately.
I discount Chomsky lately...he was brilliant at exposing the manufacture of consent...but lately he's been doing this himself regarding AGW. That's why I now refer to him as one of the stupidest smart men I know of.
Steve Martin I’ve become a lazy parasite of the YT. It’s pretty sad, I’ve several decent books around that I mean to read...but somehow the gang warfare between the vegans and the “carnivores” keeps releasing that dopamine, and here I am😂. Fortunately this rabbit hole opened up to break the spell. I’m no scientist, just had the usual college biology, AP, and lots of primate anthropology in undergrad (under Dr Sue Woods at CU Boulder). I remember trying to bring up the role of operator genes, what we now call epigenetic proteins, regarding adaptation. I was looked at as if I’d threatened to strangle the Pope😱😂. So, yeah... I’m sorry to hear your experience was so frustrating and alienating. One of my friends is a scholar of Japanese language and culture. I think she’d have keen insight into your social experience. Hoping things are better now and you’re enjoying Mr. Sheldrake’s book.
@@livthedream91 Hi Liv ... haven't cracked open the book yet. Late start today in sandwiching a bit of housecleaning, my caffeine fix, and my own YT addiction (just heard a short but great speech by Yanis Varoufakis on TED). That anecdote about reactions to your bringing up epigenetics sounds similar to my questioning my linguistics/philosophy teachers if there is no way to avoid understanding any systematic approach to mathematics or language as ultimately being anything other than provisional, though sometimes pragmatic, models or metaphors. I'm not scientist either, no longer an academic, and not much of a writer. But one thing I've noticed about myself with either a compelling YT video or a Kindle book ... I feel compelled to comment as I watch, listen, and read ... and in a way that I don't do with a hard-copy of a book. Something about the physicality of a book seems to make it 'sacred' to me, and off-limits from writing in the margins. When I get a good one (ooo .... primate anthropology!) like something by Frans de Waal, I promise myself to read it again and take notes, but then a new and shiny thing pops up in front of my short attention span. Add that to trying to learn beginner's jazz guitar, and I am terminally thoughtful, but 'unproductive'. So other than friendships here in Japan, and a bit of community volunteerism, I think my only legacy will be what little I've written here and there on UA-cam and Quora. Meh ... ashes to ashes. Still have some fascinating things to learn, but the authoritarian mind-set surrounding ethnic minorities here tends to restrict and isolate me to learning for learning's sake - not collaborative problem solving - much less my former role as an educator. (sigh)
We are possibly unaware of connections that exist between our minds and matter. Our brains are matter and our thoughts is matter being concoius of itself. So when matter behaves a certain way in order to manifest particular matter outcomes one can be aware without being there.
What is consciousness? Has science proven all we are is just matter? Or does reality extend beyond what we can see and touch? Science Uprising EP 1 Reality: Real vs. Material
Those who have seen the other side know the truth. We are spirited, electrical, energetic beings living in a created, physical environment for its learning benefits. Unfortunately, some bad actors (we call them the invaders) have taken over this environment. They consider us their cattle. They feed on us in a number of ways. They are not kind, polite or at all considerate. Sadly, they are older than we are, much more technically advanced, and they keep us here reincarnating against our will. This may sound like "rubbish" to you, but you will soon understand. Mr. Sheldrake is a breath of fresh air for our world.
Anyone who has been repeatedly preyed upon, & who has successfully saved their own life, knows two or more things: 1. They have been targeted, even if they can not identify the perpetrator(s), 2. Trust their instinct or knowledge, 3. Must act, rapidly running through survival scenarios quickly choose the option most likely to avoid physical and/or sexual assault. By the age of 9, I had absolute faith in my ability to KNOW that my sisters & I had been targeted by 4 adult males (a full block away). I told my 12 year old sister that we "we're in trouble". Her response, "run to first open home & seek entry (success). Unfortunately the 4 18-22 year olds were enraged & smashed every first floor window in this elderly couples house (my dad paid that bill).
Look at the ignorant down-votes - oh dear, oh dear oh dear oh dear - shame on you - how can the honest search for truth and the liberation of science be a down vote! This is a truly great lecture and a monumental mile-post for a unified attitude that incorporates science and spirituality. Wonderful stuff! And very engaging to watch. :-) johnny
Dr Sheldrake is a modern day Copernicus. Lets hope the dissolution of the dogmatic boundaries created by those enumerated assumptions happens quickly. We need that to happen on the hurry-up because the technological exploitation of the natural world needs to end asap.
I've never heard the argument for the existence of God explained so well. If you meditate for long enough you will find that the entire universe is within "your" consciousness. Everything you experience is NOT you. You are the experiencer - Consciousness. Therefore your experience of your body and your apparent personality is also not you but a phenomena that you experience.
Could someone here who understands this explain: How are scientists measuring whether or not galaxies are expanding or retracting when they have no idea how big the universe actually is? In other words, they can't see the edge, so how do they know things are expanding/contracting?
@BVale The trouble with all of that is, as far as I understand it, scientists keep titrating in the right amounts of dark matter (and energy) for their currently assumed formulas to keep afloat. It's now projected to be comprising north of 90% of all the known universe, and yet we can't seem to detect or empirically "prove" its existence, we just assume it has to. If your man-in-the-street question/suggestion holds any water, then that would mean EVERYTHING is dark matter, including us, and I have trouble seeing how that would even make for any need to hypothesize on the existence of dark matter, if everything is dark matter. Nothing just "glows" in and of itself the way we understand glowing: it's an interaction -- your eyes elicit and bring into existence the phenomenon of light from the sun in the same way as your muscles elicit heaviness out of weights.
Agree with the man or not, ye gotta love that tie. Friend introduced me to Sheldrake's work "Science Delusion", started reading it to fuel my hatred for nerds, kept reading due to the fascinating material.
None, there is no spacetime. It's virtual. All information and conciousness. Like Sims, the more you explore the more the computation grows. It's not "space" "One has to find a possibility to avoid the continuum (together with space and time) altogether. But I have not the slightest idea what kind of elementary concepts could be used in such a theory."- Letter from Albert Einstein to David Bohm October 28, 1954 “As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clearheaded science, to the study of ‘matter’, I can tell you as a result of my research about the atoms this much: There is no ‘matter’ as such!" -Max Planck “The common sense view of the world in terms of objects that really exist “out there” independently of our observation , totally collapses in the face of the quantum factor.” - Niels Bohr “It from bit.” This phrase, coined by physicist John Wheeler, encapsulates what a lot of physicists have come to believe: that tangible physical reality, the “it”, is ultimately made from information, or bits. “It is difficult for the matter-of-fact physicist to accept the view that the substratum of everything is mental in character.” - Physicist Sir Arthur Eddington "The universe is a virtual reality created by information processing, and furthermore this concept is supported by findings of modern science." -Brian Whitworth - The Physical World as a Virtual Reality
@@SimplifiedTruth One can hope that -- assuming we don't destroy ourselves or even just damage ourselves so much that it sets everything back thousands of years -- there could be almost no way that tech / internet development could progress at even the current rate for a few more decades without people sorting things out a bit. Even the most hopeless Blue Pills might escape their Front End and learn to code. Of course, that's its own nest of problems; Imagine having an internet avatar that has an internet avatar that has an internet avatar that has an extremely popular internet avatar.

There are "free energy" technologies, which have been suppressed (by those who are invested in making money on fossil fuels, hydroelectric, nuclear, etc.). Great lecture.
33:30 If the mind is as big as the visible universe, then what exactly is the mind? And why is this view any more parsimonious than the view that the mind resides entirely within the brain?
What is he saying? That science has not yet explained everything? That there are big arguments amongst scientists about potential theories? The evidence suggests that the most transformational of scientists, and Einstein is a good example, are characterised by a humble nature, for arrogance in one’s beliefs shades the fleeting insights necessary for breakthroughs in understanding.
A method, not a dogma. Matter and energy is fixed, thats why they refuse to bring it out of the dark. "Perpetual Motion Machines" We've had them for awhile now.
It is understandable that people who have worked hard to propel science to it's present state have pushed their minds to an apogee of modern thinking. This across the sciences will congeal naturally and generally agree with itself. On the edges of accepted science appear at first the smatterings of information that does not fit convention but seem believable. Only when these smatterings appear across the sciences is there an awareness overall. This would not come quickly because sciences are divided . The scientific convention should not be blamed ,they have simply presented the foundation that their present point could produce. No doubt their feelings of nonacceptance would be painful. This is just the unfolding of understanding. Also progress.
For the same reason a fly or mosquito disappears as soon as you get the can of fly spray out. On some tangible level, the fly and the human understand, conceptually, what's about to happen. Rupert... you have the perfect voice and accent. Soothing.
In Hinduism, it is believed that the higher consciousness (God) occupies everything,whether it be a matter or non-matter ! That's why,we in Bharat(India) have several forms of God including animals ,planets , rivers ,mountains,oceans and yet anybody wants include a new one is also free to do so . Even there are people who believe in formless God consciousness that transcends all the the three tenses ie. past,present and future.
Look at the size of the shuttered window of the place! Imagine how large the door is! Not built for nor designed for us these buildings,take a look closer look around at these structures with huge steps,massive entrances and doorways,huge staircases...they weren't built by the likes of us,for our use. These structures were allowed to be kept.
The steps are clearly the same rise in height as they have been for humans like us for 1000s of years ( typically about 200 mm) ... I’m guessing all those old buildings with low door heights, where one has to stoop, where built by pixies?
@@niallbrowne9129We are talking about different things here i.e buildings not suited to us and not built by us v's buildings built by us partially buried in silt and sand. Buildings where the door isn't in the place where you would expect,is because the original ground level has changed. Work has been done to access these buildings and modify entrances. Look at the buildings with an apparent mote around them,where there are doors and windows below ground level and a new door has been introduced with stairs leading up to the door from the new ground level as it is today. Do you think those structures were designed and built like that so people would be looking out through windows at shoring cement? Of course not. Something happened here that we're not being told about,yet evidence that something happened is all around once you know what to look for. i.e hypothesis being that an influx of earth and water occurred on a large scale,burying. Investigations are ongoing 😆
Excellent, only 10 examples, perhaps that will be enough to break the programming. I think we both realize there are many more. And this corrupt programming may be intentional. Thanks for sharing.
Iv got a lot of respect for mister Sheldrake, for calling out the bs within science we also see in (organised) religion. Modern day mainstream science is just as dogmatic, corrupt, political, corporate, partly based on assumptions, can be selective, never takes responsebility for the destruction the leave; and just like religion they gave themself a position of authority. Like religion one just have to take a scientist word for it he/she didnt cooked the numbers for political or financial gain. Than there is the issue most people wont be able to check whatever science claims is true, this can be due to of course somebodies individul intelligence but also cause a lot of scientific reports are locked behind paywalls, burried (when the outcome is not what they financiers wanted). Rarely scientist who appear in the media technocrates (who are often more wrong than right) mention their direct or indirect corportate ties. And most importantly science doesnt serve humanity but only serves profits and combatting sympthoms. Just like religion.
Brave man! Marvelous thinker! How long will "science" ("... falsely so called... ") deny the myriad of evidential phenomina that are staring them in the face? (Or at least the back of the head.)
Hopefully, forever. That evidential phenomena is just awful hard to come by. Maybe one has to turn away from the object of observation so that the back of one's head is now aligned to receive the signal.
About some comments here: disagreement is actually good as it drives dialogue. However, the language and argumentation used in some comments reminds me of an angry 12 year old protecting a lollipop.
All the universe expansion algorithms depend upon redshift as their main tool of measurement. Halton Arp, a San Diego astrophysicist was blackballed from ever using US telescopes again, because he questioned both red-shift and big bang. Dogmacism not only squelches new ideas, it ruins the careers of some very forward looking researchers.
I believe before the fall of man, animals and man communicated in the garden...they lost that privilege too...I already know when my rabbit is telepathically making suggestions to me...
PV=NRT shows that first generation stars cannot form. Carbon dating supposedly billion year old diamonds have shown them to be only about 20K years old. If you run the recession of the moon backwards, you find it would have touched the earth less than a million years ago. If you accepta recent creation, you need no dark matter to explain galaxies . I was an agnostic, science led me to believe the earth is actually much less than a million years old. I believe in God because I don't have enough faith to deny the He did create the Universe quite recently.
We are on the edge of the universe if the stars are going away from us what would make you think that it is expanding, more likely imploding, which means we would be going back to the middle, into the black hole 🕳, Xo
Never believed in the concept of dark matter/energy from the beginning. First time I heard it mentioned on the evening news I kept waiting for someone to say "April Fools". It's ridiculous on its face.

Great conference! It should be an obligatory viewing in any intro to philosophy of science course
Former Biology lab director at Temple Univ. Japan, and Associate Prof. of linguistics, Jissen Women's College, 3 time judge of Tokyo University's All Japan English Speech Contest writing here.
Within 5 minutes of hearing this lecture, I bought the Kindle version of his book. Long having read 'The God Delusion' and being thoroughly disappointed ... I find in the good Mr. Sheldrake a kindred spirit.
With background in biology ... and then philosophy of science, (T.S. Kuhn, Karl Popper, etc.), and then other STEM fields, philosophy proper, and linguistics ... (Wittgenstein, Godel, Einstein, Joseph Campbell, Jill Bolte Taylor, Frans de Waal, etc.) - I see a slightly more sober and historically-grounded lecture here, but similar to the way I taught biology to non-science majors ...
www.quora.com/If-someone-ask-you-to-point-to-heaven-which-way-would-you-point/answer/Steven-Martin-2
Having watched the complete lecture, I now realize he is, indeed, a kindred spirit, sharing these three things in common:
1 - accepting of science as a good heuristics grounded in verifiable common sense,
2 - skeptical of science as a dogma, and the dangers of institutionalization of this heuristics,
3 - and realizing that quantification of any phenomenon is little more than a boot-strapped, provisional, social construct, the majority of that community safely supported by not questioning the paradigm ... 'the publish or perish' paradigm in academia (gotta feed the family and pay the rent), or the banality of evil in the Eichmann trials defense at Nuremburg ... 'just following orders'.
Looking forward to reading his book, and writing my own. My angle is more toward the socio-economic implications of the mechanical delusion.
We are social primates, first and foremost, and more of a post-hoc rationalizing beast rather than a rational machine. We are also hierarchical, especially when we exceed community sizes and become herding primates, and in the worst case, swarming primates. The consistent percentage of any population that are 'dark triad' types - narcissists, opportunists, and psychopaths - are given an advantage when we exceed small communities with empathy-driven moralities to large populations (beyond Dunbar's Number) that necessarily rely on rule-driven moralities (tradition, law, algorithms, etc.).
Institutionalization of communities (scientific, religious, political, art, etc.) inevitably means the shift from empathy-driven morality to rule-driven morality, and thus the advantage of those who rise to power by gaming the system ... those 'dark triad' types.
The same sociological patterns can be observed in Japan, a secular land of a thousand gods. As a minority member of a culture, (white male living in Japan for 36 years) who was bullied into resigning from a tenured Professor's position some 5 years ago, and mysteriously unable to find even a single part-time college teaching job in one of the most densely populated places on the planet (Tokyo).
I am just finishing reading 'Mirror of Modernity: Invented Traditions of Modern Japan', www.amazon.com/Mirror-Modernity-Traditions-Twentieth-Emergence/dp/0520206371. This is eerily similar to the social dynamics behind Chomsky's 'Manufacturing of Consent'. I would guess that there is some deliberate, dark triad behavior at work in the institutionalization and fossilization of science, art, and religion as well ... but also a large, collectively unconscious aspect. Something to further explore.
The current mission-drift/creep of hierarchical power - Nation States, Multinational Corporations, and yes schools ... take a look at Harvard's original mission statement and compare that with the Goldman Sachs larvae-breeding ground it has become - towards right-wing nationalism and extreme concentrations of wealth (Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Chris Hedges, William Blum, etc.) allows the emergent chaos and inevitable 'Tower of Babel' fall from hubris, to become predictable, if not controllable.
Just some observations.
... I have to admit though, having lived and worked this long without accruing an ounce of social currency, I am a bit more pessimistic than the good Mr. Sheldrake.
Chomsky's brief anecdote in his 2011 Chapel Hill speech is as good an example as any as to why I am becoming more pessimistic by the day ... ua-cam.com/video/UZbW7lvGkuA/v-deo.html
Time to kick back with a beer, watch a bit of vintage Monty Python, and open up my Kindle version of his book. Maybe become inspired to write my own.
Good show, Mr. Sheldrake!
Steve Martin
Good comment, enjoy your beer😉.
@@livthedream91 Thank you LIV ... was aghast at returning from dinner to find both my spell-checker 'typos' and my real ones. Too much said, and not enough, but with that beer long since gone, will settle down and include his book in my rotation today. I am glad to see he has at least a few more UA-cam videos. Quora seems to have gone the way of vanity press or extended twitter ... so I'm enjoying these UA-cam a lot more lately.
I discount Chomsky lately...he was brilliant at exposing the manufacture of consent...but lately he's been doing this himself regarding AGW. That's why I now refer to him as one of the stupidest smart men I know of.
Steve Martin
I’ve become a lazy parasite of the YT. It’s pretty sad, I’ve several decent books around that I mean to read...but somehow the gang warfare between the vegans and the “carnivores” keeps releasing that dopamine, and here I am😂.
Fortunately this rabbit hole opened up to break the spell. I’m no scientist, just had the usual college biology, AP, and lots of primate anthropology in undergrad (under Dr Sue Woods at CU Boulder). I remember trying to bring up the role of operator genes, what we now call epigenetic proteins, regarding adaptation. I was looked at as if I’d threatened to strangle the Pope😱😂. So, yeah...
I’m sorry to hear your experience was so frustrating and alienating. One of my friends is a scholar of Japanese language and culture. I think she’d have keen insight into your social experience. Hoping things are better now and you’re enjoying Mr. Sheldrake’s book.
@@livthedream91 Hi Liv ... haven't cracked open the book yet. Late start today in sandwiching a bit of housecleaning, my caffeine fix, and my own YT addiction (just heard a short but great speech by Yanis Varoufakis on TED).
That anecdote about reactions to your bringing up epigenetics sounds similar to my questioning my linguistics/philosophy teachers if there is no way to avoid understanding any systematic approach to mathematics or language as ultimately being anything other than provisional, though sometimes pragmatic, models or metaphors.
I'm not scientist either, no longer an academic, and not much of a writer. But one thing I've noticed about myself with either a compelling YT video or a Kindle book ... I feel compelled to comment as I watch, listen, and read ... and in a way that I don't do with a hard-copy of a book. Something about the physicality of a book seems to make it 'sacred' to me, and off-limits from writing in the margins. When I get a good one (ooo .... primate anthropology!) like something by Frans de Waal, I promise myself to read it again and take notes, but then a new and shiny thing pops up in front of my short attention span. Add that to trying to learn beginner's jazz guitar, and I am terminally thoughtful, but 'unproductive'.
So other than friendships here in Japan, and a bit of community volunteerism, I think my only legacy will be what little I've written here and there on UA-cam and Quora. Meh ... ashes to ashes. Still have some fascinating things to learn, but the authoritarian mind-set surrounding ethnic minorities here tends to restrict and isolate me to learning for learning's sake - not collaborative problem solving - much less my former role as an educator. (sigh)
A pleasure, as ever, to hear you speak :)
"I think, therefore, I am". (René Descartes) Occams raiser, "In a problem were there is more than one solution, the simplest is probably the correct."
We are possibly unaware of connections that exist between our minds and matter. Our brains are matter and our thoughts is matter being concoius of itself. So when matter behaves a certain way in order to manifest particular matter outcomes one can be aware without being there.
What is consciousness? Has science proven all we are is just matter? Or does reality extend beyond what we can see and touch? Science Uprising EP 1 Reality: Real vs. Material
Those who have seen the other side know the truth. We are spirited, electrical, energetic beings living in a created, physical environment for its learning benefits. Unfortunately, some bad actors (we call them the invaders) have taken over this environment. They consider us their cattle. They feed on us in a number of ways. They are not kind, polite or at all considerate. Sadly, they are older than we are, much more technically advanced, and they keep us here reincarnating against our will. This may sound like "rubbish" to you, but you will soon understand. Mr. Sheldrake is a breath of fresh air for our world.
rblibit avoid the light?
Who are the invaders, and where do they come from? And who created this physical environment? And how did you come to acquire this knowledge?

Science is for sale......
Anyone who has been repeatedly preyed upon, & who has successfully saved their own life, knows two or more things: 1. They have been targeted, even if they can not identify the perpetrator(s), 2. Trust their instinct or knowledge, 3. Must act, rapidly running through survival scenarios quickly choose the option most likely to avoid physical and/or sexual assault. By the age of 9, I had absolute faith in my ability to KNOW that my sisters & I had been targeted by 4 adult males (a full block away). I told my 12 year old sister that we "we're in trouble". Her response, "run to first open home & seek entry (success). Unfortunately the 4 18-22 year olds were enraged & smashed every first floor window in this elderly couples house (my dad paid that bill).
Look at the ignorant down-votes - oh dear, oh dear oh dear oh dear - shame on you - how can the honest search for truth and the liberation of science be a down vote! This is a truly great lecture and a monumental mile-post for a unified attitude that incorporates science and spirituality. Wonderful stuff! And very engaging to watch. :-) johnny
Shalldrake is a target of paid trolls/shills
Dr Sheldrake is a modern day Copernicus.
Lets hope the dissolution of the dogmatic boundaries created by those enumerated assumptions happens quickly. We need that to happen on the hurry-up because the technological exploitation of the natural world needs to end asap.
I've never heard the argument for the existence of God explained so well.
If you meditate for long enough you will find that the entire universe is within "your" consciousness.
Everything you experience is NOT you. You are the experiencer - Consciousness.
Therefore your experience of your body and your apparent personality is also not you but a phenomena that you experience.
Rupert, well said! I totally agree. I am not sure the world is ready for the truth. The implications are profound.
Things happen for a reason.
~ Saying
Chance always looks like fate in the taillights.
~ Colleen Wing
"Chance" is as much of a presupposition as "fate"
How can anything be seen in taillights? Wouldn't it be better to say 'rear view mirror'?
Could someone here who understands this explain:
How are scientists measuring whether or not galaxies are expanding or retracting when they have no idea how big the universe actually is? In other words, they can't see the edge, so how do they know things are expanding/contracting?
@BVale The trouble with all of that is, as far as I understand it, scientists keep titrating in the right amounts of dark matter (and energy) for their currently assumed formulas to keep afloat. It's now projected to be comprising north of 90% of all the known universe, and yet we can't seem to detect or empirically "prove" its existence, we just assume it has to.
If your man-in-the-street question/suggestion holds any water, then that would mean EVERYTHING is dark matter, including us, and I have trouble seeing how that would even make for any need to hypothesize on the existence of dark matter, if everything is dark matter.
Nothing just "glows" in and of itself the way we understand glowing: it's an interaction -- your eyes elicit and bring into existence the phenomenon of light from the sun in the same way as your muscles elicit heaviness out of weights.
Does anyone know where I can read Galen Strawson's paper: "does physicalism entail panpsychism?"
Agree with the man or not, ye gotta love that tie.
Friend introduced me to Sheldrake's work "Science Delusion", started reading it to fuel my hatred for nerds, kept reading due to the fascinating material.
How much space does &space take up? My favorite question to poke people with.
None, there is no spacetime. It's virtual. All information and conciousness. Like Sims, the more you explore the more the computation grows. It's not "space"
"One has to find a possibility to avoid the continuum (together
with space and time) altogether. But I have not the slightest idea
what kind of elementary concepts could be used in such a theory."- Letter from Albert Einstein to David Bohm October 28, 1954
“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clearheaded science, to the study of ‘matter’, I can tell you as a result of my research about the atoms this much: There is no ‘matter’ as such!" -Max Planck
“The common sense view of the world in terms of objects that really exist “out there” independently of our observation , totally collapses in the face of the quantum factor.”
- Niels Bohr
“It from bit.” This phrase, coined by physicist John Wheeler, encapsulates what a lot of physicists have come to believe: that tangible physical reality, the “it”, is ultimately made from information, or bits.
“It is difficult for the matter-of-fact physicist to accept the view that the substratum of everything is mental in character.” - Physicist Sir Arthur Eddington
"The universe is a virtual reality created by information processing, and furthermore this concept is supported by
findings of modern science." -Brian Whitworth - The Physical World as a Virtual Reality
@@SimplifiedTruth One can hope that -- assuming we don't destroy ourselves or even just damage ourselves so much that it sets everything back thousands of years -- there could be almost no way that tech / internet development could progress at even the current rate for a few more decades without people sorting things out a bit. Even the most hopeless Blue Pills might escape their Front End and learn to code. Of course, that's its own nest of problems; Imagine having an internet avatar that has an internet avatar that has an internet avatar that has an extremely popular internet avatar. DO WE REALLY WANT TO GO THERE?
Excellent presentation and accurate in my view far beyond our current dogmatic views held in the scientific community
A truly beautiful speaker
A good working title would be "The Metaphysics of Modern 'Science'"

Excelente conferencia, muchas gracias
There are "free energy" technologies, which have been suppressed (by those who are invested in making money on fossil fuels, hydroelectric, nuclear, etc.). Great lecture.
33:30 If the mind is as big as the visible universe, then what exactly is the mind? And why is this view any more parsimonious than the view that the mind resides entirely within the brain?

Ya look good kid!😁👏 Thanks for this wonderful reminder!💓😊💓 💗🙏💗
EXCELLENT ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY
My favorite UA-camr
What is he saying? That science has not yet explained everything? That there are big arguments amongst scientists about potential theories? The evidence suggests that the most transformational of scientists, and Einstein is a good example, are characterised by a humble nature, for arrogance in one’s beliefs shades the fleeting insights necessary for breakthroughs in understanding.
mathematics is like a dictionary set in front of a poem; it may contain every word of the poem, but...
A method, not a dogma. Matter and energy is fixed, thats why they refuse to bring it out of the dark. "Perpetual Motion Machines" We've had them for awhile now.
I'm proud of you.
It is understandable that people who have worked hard to propel science to it's present state have pushed their minds to an apogee of modern thinking. This across the sciences will congeal naturally and generally agree with itself.
On the edges of accepted science appear at first the smatterings of information that does not fit convention but seem believable. Only when these smatterings appear across the sciences is there an awareness overall. This would not come quickly because sciences are divided .
The scientific convention should not be blamed ,they have simply presented the foundation that their present point could produce. No doubt their feelings of nonacceptance would be painful.
This is just the unfolding of understanding. Also progress.
Fascinating lecture.
For the same reason a fly or mosquito disappears as soon as you get the can of fly spray out.
On some tangible level, the fly and the human understand, conceptually, what's about to happen.
Rupert... you have the perfect voice and accent. Soothing.
So now mosquitoes are telepathic too? I do agree about the perfect voice and accent. Soothing enough to lull one to sleep. It worked for me!
I would pay almost anything for him to create an audio book of The Wind in the Willows.
Sheldrake v Dawkins - UFC 2020
In Hinduism, it is believed that the higher consciousness (God) occupies everything,whether it be a matter or non-matter ! That's why,we in Bharat(India) have several forms of God including animals ,planets , rivers ,mountains,oceans and yet anybody wants include a new one is also free to do so . Even there are people who believe in formless God consciousness that transcends all the the three tenses ie. past,present and future.
I don't hate much things but I really hate scientists that do before they understand what it is they are doing, dangerous people,
They never told me this in Colfox School in Bridport! LOL!
Look at the size of the shuttered window of the place!
Imagine how large the door is!
Not built for nor designed for us these buildings,take a look closer look around at these structures with huge steps,massive entrances and doorways,huge staircases...they weren't built by the likes of us,for our use.
These structures were allowed to be kept.
Large windows = lots of light. Not giants. Lol.
@@spinny2010 It's giants 😆
The steps are clearly the same rise in height as they have been for humans like us for 1000s of years ( typically about 200 mm) ... I’m guessing all those old buildings with low door heights, where one has to stoop, where built by pixies?
@@niallbrowne9129We are talking about different things here i.e buildings not suited to us and not built by us v's buildings built by us partially buried in silt and sand.
Buildings where the door isn't in the place where you would expect,is because the original ground level has changed.
Work has been done to access these buildings and modify entrances.
Look at the buildings with an apparent mote around them,where there are doors and windows below ground level and a new door has been introduced with stairs leading up to the door from the new ground level as it is today.
Do you think those structures were designed and built like that so people would be looking out through windows at shoring cement?
Of course not.
Something happened here that we're not being told about,yet evidence that something happened is all around once you know what to look for.
i.e hypothesis being that an influx of earth and water occurred on a large scale,burying.
Investigations are ongoing 😆
Excellent, only 10 examples, perhaps that will be enough to break the programming. I think we both realize there are many more. And this corrupt programming may be intentional.
Thanks for sharing.
Great stuff!
truth set's you free
Iv got a lot of respect for mister Sheldrake, for calling out the bs within science we also see in (organised) religion. Modern day mainstream science is just as dogmatic, corrupt, political, corporate, partly based on assumptions, can be selective, never takes responsebility for the destruction the leave; and just like religion they gave themself a position of authority. Like religion one just have to take a scientist word for it he/she didnt cooked the numbers for political or financial gain.
Than there is the issue most people wont be able to check whatever science claims is true, this can be due to of course somebodies individul intelligence but also cause a lot of scientific reports are locked behind paywalls, burried (when the outcome is not what they financiers wanted). Rarely scientist who appear in the media technocrates (who are often more wrong than right) mention their direct or indirect corportate ties. And most importantly science doesnt serve humanity but only serves profits and combatting sympthoms. Just like religion.
Brave man! Marvelous thinker! How long will "science" ("... falsely so called... ") deny the myriad of evidential phenomina that are staring them in the face? (Or at least the back of the head.)
Hopefully, forever. That evidential phenomena is just awful hard to come by. Maybe one has to turn away from the object of observation so that the back of one's head is now aligned to receive the signal.

I'm american and I would be more interested in reading a book titled The Science Delusion
It has a different title in the US - called SCIENCE SET FREE.
About some comments here: disagreement is actually good as it drives dialogue. However, the language and argumentation used in some comments reminds me of an angry 12 year old protecting a lollipop.
All the universe expansion algorithms depend upon redshift as their main tool of measurement. Halton Arp, a San Diego astrophysicist was blackballed from ever using US telescopes again, because he questioned both red-shift and big bang. Dogmacism not only squelches new ideas, it ruins the careers of some very forward looking researchers.
I say, history wasn't written by the winners; history was written by the Sinners...
Science also takes credit for increasing complexity. ....not so sure anymore.
I'm American and the science delusion is something I'd pick up immediately (I clicked the video), science set free sounds lame.
BRAVO
Very interesting!
That man makes me think.
The greatest living scientist of our modern times!
Who doesn't seem to understand the scientific method's insistence of experiment to elevate hypotheses to theories.
No midnight Sun at South pole
He's kind of misrepresenting science to make his point.
He is stating exactly how science is perceived by scientists and how we learn it in school.

A boundless drop in a boundless ocean.
I believe before the fall of man, animals and man communicated in the garden...they lost that privilege too...I already know when my rabbit is telepathically making suggestions to me...
PV=NRT shows that first generation stars cannot form. Carbon dating supposedly billion year old diamonds have shown them to be only about 20K years old. If you run the recession of the moon backwards, you find it would have touched the earth less than a million years ago. If you accepta recent creation, you need no dark matter to explain galaxies .
I was an agnostic, science led me to believe the earth is actually much less than a million years old. I believe in God because I don't have enough faith to deny the He did create the Universe quite recently.
We are on the edge of the universe if the stars are going away from us what would make you think that it is expanding, more likely imploding, which means we would be going back to the middle, into the black hole 🕳, Xo
Bravo!!!

Never believed in the concept of dark matter/energy from the beginning. First time I heard it mentioned on the evening news I kept waiting for someone to say "April Fools". It's ridiculous on its face.
