Quotes about Morphic

Sheldrake’s concept of “formative causation” emphasizes the existence of “morphic fields” that unite entire species universally outside space-time. According to Sheldrake, these omnipresent resonance fields can actually be expressed biologically if correctly tuned into--for example, through DNA--even if a species is extinct. Some readers may also be familiar with the notion of “noosphere,” the name given by the great Jesuit philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin to the field of mind and thought that encircles the planet and enables zeitgeist to happen: spontaneous transfer of ideas and technologies that suddenly seem to leap from consciousness to consciousness.
