Morphic Resonance and the Mind with Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D.

Further explorations into the revolutionary "hypothesis of formative causation" put forth by British biochemist Rupert Sheldrake. Since its debut in 1981, Sheldrake's theory has sent large ripples through the scientific community, and has inspired experimental testing that so far has tended to confirm the theory. In this dialogue, Sheldrake describes these experiments, and discusses further developments in his theory as it matures and takes on a life of its own. Of special interest here are his comments on the theory's impact on our understanding of the mind (where is it "located"?). Must-listening for all lovers of knowledge.(hosted by Michael Toms)
