In his 1981 book, *A New Science of Life*, Rupert Sheldrake proposed the concept of morphic resonance, suggesting that DNA acts as an antenna, allowing organisms to access collective memories. This, he argued, explains how social behaviors in birds and fish are passed down, not solely through genetics, but also through a resonance field connecting them to ancestral experiences. He further posited that the brain functions as a two-way quantum transceiver, receiving and transmitting information beyond the purely physical. This exchange, he claimed, underpins human intelligence, a capacity to understand meaning and possess self-awareness that remains profoundly mysterious, far exceeding the capabilities of a purely computational brain – unlike computer data, which inherently lacks intrinsic meaning. Sheldrake's theory aligns with Robert Monroe's research on near-death experiences (NDEs), where the tunnel reported by many is interpreted as a transition out of linear time. After death, Monroe suggested, consciousness is drawn to meaningful virtual realities shaped by a person’s beliefs, suggesting that our memories and understanding of meaning outlast the physical body and brain. Ultimately, this leads to the profound conclusion: we are eternal beings.     2:03 PM
