Here's a talk given by Dr. Rupert Sheldrake on January 2013 that's worth your time and attention:

Dr. Sheldrake's talk was actually banned by the TED conference, which for me makes it all the more alluring, not to mention the fact that the content of his talk resonates very much with my own thoughts regarding the unconscious biases of contemporary culture.

"The Science Delusion" pokes holes in the belief system of our collective dogmatic scientific assumptions that limit inquiry into the nature of ourselves and reality. "Science can't deal with the fact that we are conscious," says Sheldrake. A lifelong research scientist himself, Sheldrake lists ten unwarranted assumptions of the scientific belief system and points out that what have been considered "constants" in the scientific worldview of things are actually not so constant as has been averred (e.g., the speed of light, gravity).

Sheldrake is not espousing the overthrow of science; he is not advocating "throwing the baby out with the bathwater". On the contrary, his position is that were the hegemony of non-negotiable, dogmatic assumptions of science to be questioned, inquiry would not be limited, and the result would be a renaissance in all the fields of science, a flowering of which we have not yet seen and cannot even imagine (due to our current materialistic scientific bias). Naturally, when an unconscious attitude (a vast belief system that has gone unquestioned) senses its hegemony threatened, it reacts violently to what it perceives as a challenge to its operating reality and fear of its own annihilation.

The current scientific worldview is a worldview in which the "givens" have not been questioned precisely because the unconscious materialistic bias stipulates they are non-negotiable, and therefore those immersed in that worldview are unconscious due to the biases of the dominant collective in which they live. The materialistic bias of science prevents certain questions from even coming up: As Jungian analyst Marie-Louise von Franz has pointed out: "There is no attitude [in consciousness] adequate to receive the message. The [worldview] makes it impossible to bring up certain necessary experiences." (p.68, "The Psychological Meaning of Redemption Motifs in Fairytales".)

After the talk by Dr. Sheldrake he was banned from the TED conference.  On April 2, 2013, Dr. Sheldrake was interviewed on Skeptico where he was asked to comment on the kerfuffle his talk and the ban by the TEC conference had caused.  Here's a link . . .

Interesting stuff.  The kerfuffle hints that there is a paradigm shift afoot!
