Rupert Sheldrake

Biography:

Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author. He studied natural sciences at Cambridge and philosophy at Harvard, where he was a Frank Knox Fellow. He took a Ph.D. in biochemistry at Cambridge in 1967 and was a Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge, where he was Director of Studies in biochemistry and cell biology until 1973. As a Research Fellow of the Royal Society, he carried out research at Cambridge on the development of plants and the aging of cells. In addition to his numerous books, he is the author of more than fifty papers in scientific journals.

His experiments into unusual and unexplained perceptiveness in humans make a compelling case that intuition, precognition, and telepathy are not paranormal, but are, in fact, normal functions drawn from our biological past.

	Unusual Perceptions
	Sunday September 5, 2004

Researcher and author Rupert Sheldrake returned to the show to discuss unusual perceptions that he has studied in humans and animals. People can often sense they are being stared at, even when they can't see the person looking at them, he has discovered through controlled experiments. Sheldrake explained this phenomenon by suggesting that when a person looks at someone their "field of attention" travels outwards and interacts with the other person's "field of awareness," and this is what they are sensing. In another study, he demonstrated that certain dogs could sense when their owners were going to return home and began to wait by the window, even though there were no sensory clues or routinely scheduled times to cue the pet. He concluded that the dogs were probably tapping into a type of telepathy. Sheldrake has also studied human precognition and said he has gathered a variety of disturbing dreams and visions people had just before 9-11, that were backed up by secondary witnesses ... More

	Experiments in Telepathy
	Tuesday December 2, 2003

Tuesday's guest, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake (sheldrake.org) has concluded through his experimentation that telepathy is not paranormal, but in fact, a normal function that may be hard wired into us. In one experiment he described blindfolded people who were able to sense when someone else was looking at them, with accuracy far exceeding statistical chance. Sheldrake named "the morphic field" which living things are plugged into, as the basis for this phenomenon. When someone is looking at you, their attention stretches out into the morphic field, like an "eyebeam" and that may be what the other person is sensing, Sheldrake explained. Certain people are more sensitive and women tend to score higher in these abilities. Indeed, mothers who are breastfeeding their babies can exhibit a kind of "biological telepathy" and sense when their children need them from a distance, Sheldrake reported. Telepathy has also been observed in telephone experiments, where people were able to sense who wa ... More

Biologist Rupert Sheldrake (sheldrake.org) was Barbara's guest this Saturday night. He discussed his experiments into unusual perceptiveness in humans which make a compelling case that intuition and precognition are not paranormal, but are, in fact, normal functions. His latest study examines the sense of being stared at. ... More
