Sentences with phrase «morphic resonance»

The surveys didn't ask, but I strongly suspect a lot of these nonbelievers adopt either New Age notions of the continuation of consciousness without brains via some kind of «morphic resonance» or quantum field (or some such) or are holding out hope that science will soon master cloning, cryonics, mind uploading or the transhumanist ability to morph us into cyber-human hybrids.

In 1981 Rupert Sheldrake suggested in A New Science of Life (Blond & Briggs, London) that the Universe and all its creatures are dominated by a field which he called «morphic resonance».

Morphic resonance would dictate that any acquired characteristic, whether a behavior or a shape, can be inherited.
