Prague Gnosis - Terence Mckenna talks to Rupert Sheldrake Pt 2/2

Terence Kemp McKenna was a writer, philosopher, psychonaut and ethnobotanist. He was noted for his many speculations on the use of psychedelic, plant-based entheogens, and subjects ranging from shamanism, the development of human consciousness, and novelty theory.

Rupert Sheldrake is a British former biochemist turned parapsychology researcher, and the author of a number of controversial books on topics such as animal and plant development and behaviour, memory, telepathy and perception.
In his first book, A New Science of Life: The Hypothesis of Morphic Resonance, Sheldrake proposed that phenomena particularly biological ones become more probable the more often they occur, and therefore biological growth and behaviour become guided into patterns laid down by previous similar events. He suggested that this underlies many aspects of science, from evolution to the laws of nature. In his second book, The Presence of the Past: Morphic Resonance and the Habits of Nature, Sheldrake presented evidence for morphic resonance, one aspect of the "formative causation" hypothesis Sheldrake introduced in A New Science of Life.
