In this episode of Cool People Big Ideas, Lauren Walker sits down with Rupert Sheldrake to discuss his groundbreaking theory of morphic resonance, which explores how living beings are connected across time and space. They talk about how Rupert's work challenges conventional scientific ideas, shedding light on phenomena like telepathy and animal instincts that many mainstream scientists dismiss. Rupert offers a simple explanation of his theory and provides real-world examples of how morphic fields influence everything from human behavior to communication between animals. He also clarifies the often-misunderstood Double Slit experiment, offering a clear perspective that sets the record straight. This conversation gives listeners a new understanding of Rupert's work and how it might shift our view of the world.The views and opinions expressed by guests on the Energy Works podcast do not necessarily reflect those of the Energy Works hosts or Energy Medicine Yoga employees.What You'll Learn:- The key ideas behind Rupert Sheldrake's morphic resonance theory.- How Rupert's theories challenge mainstream scientific beliefs.- Practical examples of how morphic resonance plays out in everyday life.- A clearer understanding of the Double Slit experiment and its true implications.- How Rupert's work connects science with common human experiences.Key Moments:- Rupert explains the concept of morphic resonance and its potential to change our understanding of science.- How Rupert's work challenges traditional views in science, particularly around phenomena like telepathy and intuition.- The connection between morphic fields and how animals and humans share unspoken knowledge.- Rupert offers a clear, simplified explanation of the Double Slit experiment and why it matters.- Real-world applications of Rupert's theories, from animal behavior to human communication.You can learn more about Rupert Sheldrake at his website www.sheldrake.org and his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RupertSheldrakePhD

In this show, the boys tackle a couple of subjects...Firstly, they discuss the double-slit experiment. Does this experiment clearly show that because of the strange behaviour of light which is observed and not observed, we must be living in a simulated environment?Secondly, they discuss whether there is till a need for a jury for trials. Shouldn't all trials be left to lawyers and judges as they know what they are doing.But what are your thoughts on any of these subjects? Do you agree with Tony or Tayo, or do you have different views?Tune in and listen to the discussion - and please let us have your comments on these subjects.Although we much prefer effusive praise

Tom Campbell is a physicist who began researching altered states of consciousness with Bob Monroe at Monroe Laboratories in the early 1970s. These early, drug-free, consciousness pioneers helped design experiments, developed the technology for creating specific altered states, and were the main subjects of study all at the same time. He has been a serious explorer of the frontiers of reality, mind, consciousness, and psychic phenomena for the last forty years and continuing. In 2003, he published the My Big TOE trilogy which represents the results and conclusions of his scientific exploration of the nature of existence. The MBT reality model explains metaphysics, spirituality, love, and human purpose at the most fundamental level, provides a complete theory of consciousness and solves the outstanding fundamental physics problems of our time, deriving both relativity theory and quantum mechanics from first principles – something traditional physics cannot yet do.

This week we discuss how simple experiments within physics are actually affected by human consciousness. We look at how this can be applied to day to day life and how you can interpret this in a way that will allow personal growth and forgiveness. Quantum physics is in a sense quantum mysticism and the more we learn, the less we realize we know. Go to www.thewarisnotover.com to sign up for blog notifications.
Dean Radin, PhD, is the chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), and has held reign there since 2001. After earning his MS in electrical engineering, and his Ph.D. in psychology in 1979 at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, he's left a cosmic trail of documented studies in the human consciousness continuum. Radin has authored or co-authored more than 250 peer-reviewed technical and popular articles, appearing in journals ranging from Foundations of Physics & Physics Essays to Psychological Bulletin and Journal of Conscious Studies. He was featured in an August 11, 1996, NYT New York Magazine. In this second episode with Dr. Radin we rail through some heavy science and bring things back around to conscioussness, you'll love this!
Interview Stars 48:10 Graham Nicholls has been exploring and researching the OBE (out-of-body) experience since the 80’s. He has also taught at Cambridge University, The Society for Psychical Research, The Institute of Noetic Sciences, The International Remote Viewing Association, and London's Science Museum. He teaches his advanced methods for leaving the body via Skype™ based OBE Coaching, which as well as being unique, is probably the most personalised and scientifically based approach available. We chat about his personal experience with OBE’s, his work, and his development of infra-liminal sound. We also chat about psychedelics, pre-cognition, extended consciousness, immersive structures and technology, and the deep state trance light device. The difference between other altered states like lucid dreaming and astral travel, and some of the scientists and organizations he’s been working are also talked about. See below for a somewhat topical timeline of our conversation…: 50:00- Graham’s Introduction to OBE’s and trying to induce them. 55:00 - What is the out of body experience? 60:00 - What to do in an OBE? 1:05:00 - Savants, OBE's and psychic abilities. 1:10:00 - Evidence, skeptics, parapsychology, anecdotal vs case study. 1:12:00 - Graham’s precognitive Out of Body Experience with written evidence and witnesses 5 days before London Bombings. 1:16:00 - Remote Viewing. 1:19:00 - Experiments with Dean Radin and The Double Slit. 1:25:00 - Psychedelics, DMT, Ketamine, Psilocybin, LSDl and OBE’s. 1:34:00 - Who’s winning the battle of skeptics vs believers. 1:43:00 - Immersive structures and immersive technology, Infra-liminal sound. 1:56:00 - Persinger and his god helmet. 2:03:00 - What is an OBE? and Graham explains his personal experiences. http://www.grahamnicholls.com/ In the intro Darren and Graham try to not talk about politics….. and they share some listener feedback, synchronicities and a nice lengthy trip report from a listener in Hawaii. Graham reads an interesting wikileak for the UFO quote of the week and he also chats about two articles on scientific studies about the global economy and how it’s run by superentity oligopolies.

In Chapter Four, the author discusses the famous experiment in quantum physics called the “Double Slit,” and its startling conclusions… “How is it possible to send one tiny particle of 'matter' at a time through two slits and have it form a wave interference pattern? There was only one explanation that made any sense: An electron is a wave rather than a particle; it is not a solid piece of matter as we have always thought!” In Chapter Five, the author continues looking at the Double Slit experiment and what happens when you add an “observer” into the equation… “The ramifications are enormous. It means reality – the physical universe which we have always thought of to be 'solid and predictable' – is not 'real,' not 'solid and predictable' at all, because the basic building blocks of that universe are not particles of matter, but waves of possibilities – waves of potential locations where an electron might appear as a particle when it is observed.” ... and what scientists have called The Field to explain this phenomenon.
