Description

We have been brought up to believe that our minds are inside our heads. But this view is much too limited. Recent experiments show that people can influence others at a distance just by looking at them, even if they are looking from behind and if all sensory clues are eliminated. And people’s intentions can be detected by pet animals from miles away. This means that the mind may be extended not only in space but in time. Dr Rupert Sheldrake will show how his hypothesis of morphic fields can help to make sense of our own experiences of interconnectedness.
