Thanks for that video, Vortex!
Rupert Sheldrake is a wonderful thinker and speaker - which I guess is part of the reason why Alex has invited him to speak here so many times!
I have only listened to about half that video so far, but even though RS goes to church, I feel the entity that he worships is so far removed from the Christian God, it would be best not to confuse the two.
At the most abstract level, yes I am sure there is a hierarchy of consciousness (with us somewhere in the middle), and that may reach a single entity at the top - but it could equally end in a number of entities, or maybe consciousnesses are ultimately linked together and collectively become what RS calls God.
Feeling a need to 'know' that consciousness is ultimately organised into a pyramid, feels a bit too ape-like for me!
