Rupert Sheldrake is brilliant! He's a renowned biologist, author (75 scientific papers and many books), Former fellow at: Cambridge Univ., Harvard and the Royal Society. Now he's a research scholar at Trinity College, Cambridge. He is a leading researcher into brain/consciousness science.

Its a defense mechanism.

Ex:

If I were to call you a stupid moron for not knowing that, I would be using my ego, a way to secure my own intelligence. Being above that I know that knowledge comes from knowing what one once didn't and has nothing to do with actual superiority. The ego feels the need to stand on others to secure its own worth, where as the ego free of superiority complexes knows its own worth without comparison, or contrast.

Do you want to learn what enlightenment really is?Is your quest for truth beginning to feel like running around in circles?Wake up the dormant power within your spirit.Sleep no more, THE-HIDDEN-SPIRITdotCOM

Sheldrake is a brilliant scientist. However, I wish he could stop referring to animals as "it" as if they were inanimate objects. He, of all people, should understand that this is not the case.

@earthacademy I see you're actually incapable of providing arguments and reasons. Figures.

@earthacademy Yeah. Go load up the bong again and have some more smokee..If something can't pass analysis with standard scientific method protocols, it's not real.

@earthacademy Yeah. Go load up the bong again and have some more smokee..

@mavaddat Well son, the more blinkered ego you use,the more it will blind you from actual truth. As as a Futurist I would tell you to reject the education system, stop recycling & regurgitating academia, & stop being so linear sequential, rationalistic and left brained (hierarchical power battling = inferiority complex). To activate any kind of psychic awareness, plus Visual Simultaneous awareness means letting go of that part of the mind. Sheldrake is promoting VSI in his method. It is valid.

[earthacademy]

@keeg021985 its not about belief kid,its about experience.Of your list Big Foot (& UFOs) are valid phenomena.Actually reading Sci-Fi in the 70's taught me English,& everything else I needed working in 15 companies in 5 countries,was self taught. Education is a limitation for certain brain types. See Chris Langan, who is a bouncer/farmer but still has the highest IQ in the US. He hates the education system by the way. Many in the paranormal world use scientific method, skeptics just use arrogance

[earthacademy]

@keeg021985 Haha. No I sold my first software at 16. Thus got a job and got experience...not theory. As a born right brainer, academia served no purpose for me. Left brainer's conform to their surroundings, others break free of it. Nikola Tesla (right brainer) was a college drop out and still is our greatest scientist. My complaint and others here, is your arrogance (of youth and the supercilious limitations academics wallow in). There is still far more to see out there. A Phd is a bit of paper.

@earthacademy Thank you for your totally vapid response. You could have reduced the number of words in your comment by writing, "You only think that way because you are egotistical."

But this is just an attempt at psychologizing my motivations for my comment rather than actually suggesting anything that Sheldrake's theory adds. Newton was very egotistical, yet advanced science more than anyone in his time.

When a theory proposes nothing but magic, we can safely reject it.

@earthacademy It's apparent from your writing that YOU are the one that suffers from an 'inferiority complex.' I'm in the middle of a ph.d. program and can state that most of the graduate students and professors I've met are robustly confident people. You are clearly a college drop out who now believes formal academic education is inferior to reading wikpedia. I would suggest that you go take a writing course and at least learn how to punctuate and construct grammatically correct sentences.
