the following link has an interview with Rupert Sheldrake about his book and so if you did not read the book first you might at first have trouble getting the jest of the interview, but as you progress the idea becomes clearer.

Science was up-in-arms with attacks on his new theory, but I like it.

What do you think?

damn bastard stealing my theory

I haven't read it all yet but i believe there is some circumstantial evidence to support this

twins, identical or not that have never met each other and grew up in different environments come together and are quite similar for example

I like it. This theory ties in Jungian racial and ethnically subconscious memories with some of the more scientific theories of the Penrose collapsing nanotubes of thought and consciousness.

Though I'm sure an interview process only skims the surface of this theory, I find the linkages interesting.

Nice link, there is a similar discussion going on in another board that I'll copy that link to.

Who would have thought that in a board such as this a scientific frontier issue would emerge.

Jung describes the collective unconscious, but the linkage to the biological world has been a void.

We have a case of the natural sciences and the physiological sciences without common ground.

Both areas of science have well documented and logically accepted theories. This theory, however, may be or lead to a bridge between understanding the concepts of 'mind' and body.

I think that the work of Sheldrake is much better then some of the related books circulating in the new age community, such as those of Peter Russell or this guy .......

http://howardbloom.net/Expert%20opinions%2...bal%20Brain.htm

So we have The Sheldrake view that knowing becomes like an arua that remains from generation to generation, as a species is born it's brain somehow will tap into that memory bank and so that is why a bird knows how to build a nest without going to "nest building school". And we also have the fairly new ideas concerning "collective consciousness" which is like a morphic field that is shared by all humans around the globe in every culture.

Sheldrake also has on line some experiments outlined that anyone can do for their self, which are interesting.

There is a lot of cutting edge ideas happening that mainstream science and religion have been avoiding and trying to push to one side, but the very reasoning that Rcne came up with a simular idea independantly of reading or knowing about the Sheldrake book is proof that both were somehow linked into the same conscious source or the same wave stream which now has a name for it ... the Morphic Field.
