Human Mind / Animal Mind with Rupert Sheldrake
Ever get that eerie feeling that your cat or dog knows what you're thinking? They just might! Scientist Rupert Sheldrake brings you five years of extensive research on animal behavior, challenging traditional scientific assumptions that pets do not warrant serious study. Well-known for his controversial and revolutionary theory of "morphic resonance" and "morphogenetic fields," Sheldrake applied this to his subject with ingenious questions that have resulted in confirmation that animals do indeed possess psychic and intuitive abilities. You'll also hear astonishing stories involving parrots, termites, and farm animals that will have you looking at the animal kingdom in a whole new light.

Presence of the Past
Were there any laws of the universe at the same time of the big bang? Cambridge trained biologist Rupert Sheldrake, author of A New Science of Life and The Presence of the Past, says that all laws developed as habits over time. Thus the universe and its laws can be seen to be applied to physics, chemistry and cosmology. This audio clip is from the Thinking Allowed Series video with Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove. 28.12 min.

The Universal Organism
The so-called "laws of nature" may actually be more like habits and instincts than immutable and inviolable principles. Rupert Sheldrake, biologist and author of the controversial A New Science of Life, suggests that from this perspective all of creation may be viewed as a living organism. This ancient concept challenges the notion of the universe as a mechanism with God as the great mechanic. This audio clip is from the Thinking Allowed Series video with Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove. 28.13 min.
