The cumulative nature of the evolutionary process, the fact that memory is preserved, means that life grows not just through a random proliferation of new forms, but there’s a kind of cumulative quality...  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) The idea is that there is a kind of memory in nature. Each kind of thing has a collective memory. So, take a squirrel living in New York now. That squirrel is being influenced by all past squirrels  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) I still say the ‘Lord’s Prayer’ every day.

Some languish in obscurity and are never heard of again, while others form the foundation of a whole school of art  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) Now the whole point about machines is they are designed not to be random. When you call up a word processing program on your computer, you don’t want it to be different every time you call it up. You want it to stay the same  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) Most of nature is inherently chaotic. It’s not rigidly determined in the old sense. It’s not rigidly predictable  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) Over the course of fifteen years of research on plant development, I came to the conclusion that for understanding the development of plants, their morphogenesis, genes and gene products are not enough  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) I went through the standard scientific atheist phase when I was about 14. I bought into that package deal of science equals atheism  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) In both religion and science, some people are dishonest, exploitative, incompetent and exhibit other human failings  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) Unfortunately, at present, practically no one under thirty goes to workshops. It’s a system of education entirely for the middle aged  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) The universe is not in a steady state; there’s an ongoing creative principle in nature, which is driving things onwards  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) Machines are designed not to be random. When you call up a word processing program on your computer, you don’t want it to be different every time you call it up. You want it to stay the same  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) The morphic fields include all kinds of organizing fields... : The organizing fields of animal and human behaviour, of social and cultural systems, and of mental activity can all be regarded as morphic fields which contain an inherent memory  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) I’m talking about science on the leading edge, where it’s not clear which way things are going be cause we don’t know, and I’m dealing with areas which we don’t know about  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) Of the seven experiments, the ones that have been most investigated so far have been the pets. The dogs who know when their masters for coming home, and the sense of being stared at  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) Right now, any opinion anyone has about whether dogs can or cannot really tell when their owner is coming home by some unknown means... nobody knows. The weight of evi dence suggests they can  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) Contemporary science is based on the philosophy of materialism, which claims that all reality is material or physical  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) The fact that you can forge a twenty dollar bill doesn’t prove that all twenty dollar bills are forgeries  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) The facts of science are real enough, and so are the techniques that scientists use, and so are the technologies based on them. But the belief system that governs conventional scientific thinking is an act of faith  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) I think that creativity depends on having sufficient indeterminacy around for a new pattern to arise up within it  (Rupert Sheldrake Quotes) So there’s a kind of resurgence of the sense of freedom and spontaneity in nature. From nature being bound into a rigid, deterministic model, freedom, spontaneity and openness are emerging once again. It’s now recognized the future is open, not determined by the past.
