Swarm Intelligence: Consciousness Emerging from Simple Agents
An individual ant has approximately 250,000 neurons and a behavioral repertoire that can be described in a few dozen rules. It cannot plan, reason, or adapt to novel situations.
Michael Levin and the Bioelectric Code: The Software Layer of Life
If DNA is the source code of biological life, then bioelectricity is the compiler that turns it into a living organism. For decades, molecular biology has operated under a central dogma: DNA encodes proteins, proteins build structures, and the genome is the master blueprint of form.
Morphogenetic Fields and Bioelectric Validation: When the "Spooky" Becomes Measurable
For nearly a century, two ideas haunted the margins of biology. Harold Saxton Burr at Yale University measured electrical fields around living organisms in the 1930s and 1940s, calling them "L-fields" (life fields) and claiming they served as organizational templates for biological form.
SQUID Magnetometry and Biomagnetic Fields: Measuring the Invisible Force of Healing Hands
Somewhere in a basement laboratory, shielded by layers of mu-metal and aluminum designed to block the Earth's magnetic field and every stray electromagnetic signal from the civilization above, sits a device cooled to four degrees above absolute zero. Inside its cryogenic chamber, a tiny loop of...
The Grand Synthesis: Seven Hermetic Principles as a Unified Field Theory
Imagine that somewhere between the second and third centuries of the Common Era, in the intellectual crucible of Hellenistic Alexandria, a group of philosopher-mystics encoded into a handful of texts a complete description of how reality operates. They did not have telescopes, particle...
Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender: The Three Principles That Govern Motion, Consequence, and Creation
The first four Hermetic principles describe the nature of reality — what it is (mind), how it connects (correspondence), what it is made of (vibration), and how it is structured (polarity). The final three principles describe how reality moves, what drives it, and how it creates.
The Science of Collective Memory: Rats, Crystals, and the Hundredth Monkey
In 1920, a psychologist named William McDougall began an experiment at Harvard University that would take fifteen years, span thirty-two generations of rats, and produce results so strange that the scientific establishment would spend the next century trying to explain them away.
Morphic Resonance: How Nature Remembers
Imagine you are watching a river carve its way through a valley. The first trickle of water has no path.
Morphogenetic Fields: The Invisible Architects of Form
You are made of roughly 37 trillion cells. Every one of them contains the same DNA -- the same 3.2 billion base pairs, the same 20,000-odd genes.
The Science Delusion: Ten Dogmas That Keep Us Asleep
In January 2013, Rupert Sheldrake stepped onto the stage at TEDx Whitechapel in London and gave an 18-minute talk that would become one of the most watched -- and most censored -- presentations in the history of TED. The talk was called "The Science Delusion," after his 2012 book of the same...
Shared Death Experiences: Consciousness as a Field Phenomenon
A woman sits at her husband's bedside in the final hours of his life. He has been unconscious for two days, breathing shallowly, his body shutting down.

Rupert Sheldrake: The Experiments That Suggest the Mind Extends Beyond the Brain
Rupert Sheldrake holds a doctorate in biochemistry from Cambridge University. He was a fellow of Clare College, Cambridge.
The Hundredth Monkey and Morphic Resonance: How Knowledge May Spread Through Collective Fields
In 1979, Lyall Watson — a South African biologist and author — published a book called Lifetide that contained a story so compelling, so perfectly aligned with the emerging paradigm of collective consciousness, that it became one of the most widely repeated anecdotes in New Age culture. The...
Animal Intuition and Extended Perception: What Animals Know That Humans Have Forgotten About the Network
On December 26, 2004, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake struck off the coast of Sumatra, generating a tsunami that killed approximately 230,000 people across fourteen countries. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history.
Collective Consciousness and the Morphic Field
There is an idea that recurs across disciplines, across centuries, across cultures — stubbornly, irrepressibly, despite every attempt by materialist science to dismiss it. The idea is this: consciousness is not confined to individual skulls.
Daily Spiritual Practice: A Framework for Living in Ceremony
There is a moment each morning — before the emails, before the news, before the world rushes in with its demands — when you are closest to the person you are becoming. A daily spiritual practice claims that moment.
