Just watched this fascinating Rupert Sheldrake video;
Morphic Resonance, Collective Memory and the Habits of NatureA quick summary of morphic resonance;
"The idea, simply, is that once a particular form comes into existence, it will have a causal effect on all subsequent, similar forms; and thus the more a particular form has been replicated, the more likely it will be replicated in the future. This causal influence of one form on another Sheldrake calls 'formative causation' (similar to Aristotle’s formal causation), and the actual means of this causation Sheldrake calls 'morphic resonance'.”
"Far from being an archetypal law, it is rather more like a habit, or cosmic memory. Indeed, for Sheldrake, all of the laws (or formal regularities) of the world have been built up, over successive generations, by morphic resonance and formative causation. Put succinctly, the probability that a given form will occur in the present is a function of the number of times a similar form has occurred in the past. That probability field is exactly the basis of the morphogenetic field ...
However, what makes Sheldrake’s theory so radical is that formative causation is postulated to act in a nonlocal fashion; that is, it operates instantaneously across space and time. Once a particular form has been learned by a system, it will be more easily learned by a similar system anywhere else in the world, without any spatiotemporal contact."

So...
Is DMT consciousness affected by those there before us?
Just by doing are we creating a new field of possibilities for others?
