That perhaps the genes are not the grand dictators of life and form that people envision them to be. But rather it is energy, the spirit, and fields of energy pouring in through the universe that select and change the genes and gene arrangements, and physcial form in general Morphic Fields Articles and Papers - Scientific Papers - Morphic Resonance - Morphic Fields Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Immortal4life Posted March 15, 2011 Glad you like it. In a way it is leading into other threads I will be postin gin the near future. I have noticed that threads I have made about mental abilities and the potential capabilities of the mind, while they have gotten views, have not been especially popular here so far. I believe that will be changing soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Encephalon Posted March 15, 2011 Glad you like it. In a way it is leading into other threads I will be postin gin the near future. I have noticed that threads I have made about mental abilities and the potential capabilities of the mind, while they have gotten views, have not been especially popular here so far. I believe that will be changing soon. Nonsense. There are individuals in this forum, members for years who've committed themselves to the hard and consistent work of Taoist alchemical practices precisely because they have extraordinary faith in, and personal experience with, the higher reaches of human potential. You seem to be of the opinion that the shades of magical thinking as espoused by the likes of Sheldrake, et.al., constitue some measure of intellectual advancement, while categorizing skeptics and critical thinkers as spiritual flunkies. Have you ever read some of Sheldrake's detractors? Sorry to burst your bubble but sound reasoning and spiritual evolution are not antithetical. Perhaps if you're up to it you'd be interested in sharing your ideas for a change. Many of us already know our way around Youtube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Immortal4life Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) No I mean I'm going in a new direction soon, new subjects beyond mental capabilities. As for Rupert Sheldrake specifically. Yes, I would categorize him as a progressive person and thinker. Someone whose investigations into the mind are on the right track for the future and coming times. I consider close-mindedness, opposing things you don't understand, disliking ideas because of ignorance or small mindedness, and only accepting certain types of thinking and looking at things, to not be advanced or progressive. Most detractors who are opposed to him I would think of, are blatantly biased and have their own agendas. Edited March 15, 2011 by Immortal4life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
