Lectures, debates, and dialogues by biologist Rupert Sheldrake — morphic resonance, telepathy, and challenging materialist science.
…some sort of resonance with this idea that the looking out matters quite as much as what is taken in. The great geometer Euclid, when he came up with his theory of mirror projecting out into the mirrors, so the virtual image behind the mirror, very much…

…you're sitting. That's the common sense view. And all over the world, that's what most people believe. And it's what children believe. Euclid, the great geometer, worked it out in detail. And he said that when light comes into the eye, there's a projection…
…an image in my mind, but you're not an image in my brain, because my image of you is where it seems to be. And Euclid then said, well, you can actually see this when you look at something in a mirror. The mirror, he didn't use this phrase, but the…
…what's coming into the eye, it's the way you interpret it, anticipate it, and how you project these images. The great Greek geometer Euclid, around 300 BC, pointed out that vision is an active process, If you're looking for a pin and suddenly you see the…

…images are projected out is a very old view of vision. It's found in many of the Arabic philosophers. It's in Plato. It's in Euclid. And it's found all over the world. And it's found in children in our own society until the age of about 10. They…
