Yes I really enjoy the work of Sheldrake, did you ever listen to any of his trialogues with Ralph Abraham & Terence Mckenna? The way I see the morphic field is that if we could view our minds at a sub-atomic level then you will see that we are entangled with ourselves and the universe at large. From this perspective consciousness exists outside the physicality of the brain and every thought and action is hed within some form of universal memory bank. To me this would explain the morphic field and it's connection with 100th monkey hypothesis.
And yes I'm with you that there is an element of choice within the higher self. I think may choice of words as in "sent" was rather rudimentary in reality I meant that if we live a life of great evil karma will follow us into the next life. It will also determine who we become and whether we live a life that atones for our sins. If we commit evil perhaps we will then receive it when we return, but equally perhaps this process has been interferred with and so certain bloodlines never learn from this mistakes of past lives. Just a thought.
No, but I will look for them online - thanks for the steer. Yes totally outside the physicality of the brain - agreed. Brain is like an aerial for consciousness. The collective consciousness is where the 100th monkey learns surely?
As for the bloodlines.... hmm! I have one scenario where they are like the rest of us and just functioning on a very low psychopathic vibration until evolving. Another where their higher self has contracted to 'play the bad/evil aspect of human kind in the same way others do to lift the vibration. Yet another where they are actually off planet aliens who hail from dimensions where human values have no currency. Struggling!
