THE UNIVERSE OF MORPHIC RESONANCE
& COSMIC LIBERATION*
S. D. Devasia
Rupert Sheldrake has invested decades of reflection, research and writing for developing his three central ideas : Morphogenetic Fields, Morphic Resonance. Formative Causation. These concepts can be understood only from the background of quantum physics. Sheldrake envisages matter as originating from some sort of energy fields. If we recall Marx's dictum, "Existence precedes Essence," we may explicate Sheldrake's position in the dictum "Energy fields precede matter." • The fields, Sheldrake explains, are not material, i.e. matter. But they are physical, i.e. made of energy fields. Einstein showed that light waves are streams of photon bullets, Sheldrake would explain matter as waves of energy fields, the field being a spacetime unity similar to the state of particles in quantum physics. These fields may be without mass, but they being manifestations of energy, are comparable to the gravitational fields, which are not material, but physical never. theless.
These morphogenetic fields seems to be comparable to the notion of the Paramāņu of the Jain philosophy, which is considered to be the ultimate substance of which matter and mind are made of, or of the hypothesis of micro-vita proposed by P.R. Sarkar-a hypothesis which is now being currently worked out at the Micro-vita Institute at Mainz Germany by Dr. Richard Gauthier. * From the unpublished book, WHITHER INDIA ? & MANKIND ??-A METAPHYCHIC ANALYSIS & (ECO) THERAPY.
