Here's a link to a discussion of Morphic Resonance.

I am saddened when bright people fall for quackery. Conan Doyle was taken in by a couple of teenage girls and their pictures of garden fairies. The psychologist William James was sucked in by a medium, whom he labeled the white crow.

In my lifetime I have seen large numbers of people taken in by plants with feeings, pyramid power, Atlantis in beach stone, and a dozen others.

I always associated this with left wing, new age hippie thinking, but I will have to re-evaluate this.

I too am saddened when otherwise bright people fall for quackery.

Thank you so much for sharing your opinions of researchers in collective consciousness!

The intent of my post was not to endorse or debunk their work but to evidence what their work entails vis-a-vis science.

I get somewhat amused at the notion of aliens seeding life on this planet - but for researchers such as Crick, this was the best explanation.

It is what it is.

The point of defining panspermia/cosmic ancestry and collective consciousness on this thread is to determine whether the definition fits the definition of an intelligent design hypothesis.
