Thank you both. It is always a wonderful experience listening to Rupbert Sheldrake. I grew up as a very young child underneath the stars, by rivers, caves, waterfalls, and planted seeds for gardens, bee hives, on a farm , a child with many animals. Walks in forrest in nature. I am of Cherokee blood. I was very fortunate and still am in many ways.
I Enjoyed this program. I'm a retired educator. Discussed is what is missing from education. Education is also too data driven with little child exploration and joy of learning. I'm encouraged there is a renewed interest in what needs to change to improve educating our children both in school and at home.
@@JohnPretty1 Hi John, Ok. I apologise because what I said wasn’t clear. It takes some unpacking: Problem with Gnosticism is the duality between the physical and the spiritual. So: material realm bad, spirit good. This leads to all sorts of problems including an unhealthy attitude towards our own bodies and a lack of sense of responsibility for a physical earth that it considers to be inherently evil and temporal. So Gnosticism tends to lead to adherents living in the intellect and being too heavenly minded to be of any earthly use. And it thinks this is a virtue. However what Rupert Sheldrake is exploring is the intuitive understanding that “primitive” cultures teach us, that the transcendent is in fact accessed through the imminent physical and not in negation of it. This is a much more integrated approach and can lead to a unitive consciousness rather than the fragmented consciousness of duality that sees the physical body at war with the spirit/mind. So I summarise in short hand by saying that the disembodied mind is gnostic pseudo-Virtue. That’s the trouble with UA-cam comments. They’re often standing for things we know we mean, but really need unpacking before they make any sense to others. So, thanks for asking.

Marvellous interview with a wonderful man. God bless Rupert Sheldrake, and thanks to you for this video.

I could listen to Rupert Sheldrake all day. Great interview.
I love this conversation between two calm, intelligent, humane people 🪷
Thank you for interviewing Rupert Sheldrake with his wonderful mind and insights. ❤
Wonderful discussion. Thank you!
Rupbert Sheldrake is a gift to humanity.
I appreciated your questions to Rupert. Thank you.
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Another great talk thanks P.S. does anyone know the name of the song at the end?
Could a native speaker describe the language/accent Mr Sheldrake speaks, please (it is beautiful)?
What does Rupert think about Michael Levin’s work on bioelectrics? Do his theory of morphic resonance and Michael Levin’s work fit together?
Ask Dr. Iain McGilchrist who speaks with all of them.❤
They work in slightly different ways but in a nutshell, yes, they are consistent with each other.

I can’t see an argument against morphic resonance Everywhere is vibration.
religion is for gullible folk; philosophy is for the wise.
The disembodied mind is a very gnostic pseudo-virtue.
