Science meets Spirituality in Consciousness
Now that I’ve finished Sheldrake’s book, I want to continue the comments I made in the last post about his work. What he has compiled is a very interesting and readable summary of a whole area of behaviors that are remarkable and unexplained. Some are even uninvestigated.

The authors define consciousness as how we perceive the world, [...]

This includes human consciousness and our inner sense of self, which are [...]
