WHAT DOES MORPHIC RESONANCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

morphic resonance

Rupert Sheldrake

Alfred Rupert Sheldrake is an English author, lecturer, and researcher in the field of parapsychology, known for advocating his "morphic resonance" concept. He worked as a biochemist and cell biologist at Cambridge University from 1967 to 1973 and as principal plant physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics until 1978. Since leaving research biology, he has primarily worked on promoting and defending his ideas relating to morphic resonance in books, articles, and public appearances. Conceived during Sheldrake's time at Cambridge, morphic resonance posits that "memory is inherent in nature" and "natural systems, such as termite colonies, or pigeons, or orchid plants, or insulin molecules, inherit a collective memory from all previous things of their kind". Sheldrake proposes that it is also responsible for "telepathy-type interconnections between organisms". His advocacy of the idea encompasses paranormal subjects such as remote viewing, precognition, and the psychic staring effect as well as unconventional explanations of standard subjects in biology such as development, inheritance, and memory.
