Our minds seem to extend out beyond our brains both through attention and intention.
Rupert Sheldrake will talk about recent evidence for the sense of being stared at and telepathy in people and animals. We have been brought up to believe that the mind is located inside the head. But there are good reasons for thinking that this view is much too limited. People can influence others at a distance just by looking at them, even if they look from behind and if all sensory clues are eliminated. Animals can be affected by human looks, and vice versa. People's intentions can also be detected telepathically by animals from miles away. Recent tests have also shown that some people can tell who is calling them before they pick up the phone. Our minds seem to extend out beyond our brains both through attention and intention.
