Thread 0024: Morphic fields and resonance
One of Rupert Sheldrake's basic concepts is morphic resonance, defined as a nonordinary information transfer between organisms and organizing biofields giving shape to morphogenetic and behavioral processes in nature. Biofields have memory properties, but are not bound to individuals of a species. Morphic resonance could be seen as a population memory where a sub-population influences, by its own interactions with its environment, the rest of the population. (Paraphrased from Ir J. Buys and W. Beekman of The Netherlands)

LOK, p. 4: We too can learn to ask fundamental questions with all the resources of our mind, heart, and body. The resulting understanding may allow us to manifest a new and higher knowing in our own lives, and to add to the store of collective human knowledge as well.
SDTS, p. xxxiii: In TSK, there is no path to such transformation. Instead, there is the availability of second-level time, space, and knowledge. . . . It is a journey that sets no goal, other than to embody space and time directly. Perhaps as more individuals undertake this journey, their mutual efforts will help clear the way for something new in human history to emerge.

LOK, p. 77: Knowledge that arises through the discipline of a nonpositioned observation expands the limits of the knowledge available to all humanity. In pursuing a deeper knowledge, we are fulfilling a responsibility to our fellow human beings.

KTS, p. 202: It is almost as though a 'blueprint' had been drawn up in advance and now attracts appearance, as a magnet attracts iron filings or chromosomes determine that an emerging form of life will take a particular shape.
KTS, p. 211: One possible analogy for the interplay of the mental and physical realms would be to compare the mental realm to a blueprint that shapes the 'order' of the physical realm.
KTS, p. 223: When knowledge emerges within the restrictions and borders that make up conventional appearance, the 'allowingness' of space enters 'into' form. Knowledge sees the attributes of form and formlessness alike as 'attributes' of 'space', while existence and nonexistence express the active embodiment of the 'space blueprint'.
entry 0004:
Is the concept of a 'blueprint', or morphogenetic field, appropriate only to a second-level perspective? [Steve Randall, 12/10/98]: On the second level, shape and form are 'established' as though by a 'blueprint', but the Great Space 'zero-point singularity' does not establish. (p. 246, KTS)
