Sheldrake

[Guest guest]

I do not think you can just dismiss Sheldrake as speculation. He

cites many many studies and biological observations to back up his

work and theories. He is quite a sound thinker. He may now be into

paranormal phenomena (I am not sure), which interests me little, but

previous work is very biological centered. Check out The presence of

the Past (Morhic resonace and the habits of nature) (which BTW has

100's of references to check out). I guess we just differ that you do

not feel comfortable with phenomena that science cannot pin down,

where I feel comfortable with things that are beyond the flesh – In

which science may or may not pin down. I truly believe there is an

important element of healing, life, and acupuncture that operates on

the latter level. Rupert has done a fine job at exploring this as

much as one can without hooking `IT' up to a machine.
