Rites of Passage: Baptism and Near‑Death

Rupert Sheldrake is one of the most controversial scientists alive. When his first book was published, its ideas were considered so taboo that one prominent journal suggested it should be burned, and his TED Talk was taken down following intense backlash from members of the scientific community. In this episode of the Align Podcast, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake explores the controversial concept of morphic resonance, telepathy, and the mystery of memory beyond the brain. Dr. Sheldrake shares insights on spiritual disconnection, depression, rites of passage, psychedelics, and offers wisdom for the next generation on living a connected life.
