I love you Rupert Sheldrake. In this room of giant and influential thinkers in each of their specialized fields - all dead now I believe - you, the young cosmic rebel share your insights into the mystery of homing pigeons, with only a brief passing mention/intro of your Morphic Resonance concept. I especially liked the smile on legendary physicist Freemon Dyson - one of my favorite thinkers of the 20th century. You like Jung are ahead of your time. There is great book which I am sure you have read of a 30 year letter correspondance between Jung and Wolfgang Pauli - picking each other's brains - mostly about Jung's quest to prove the existence of a psychic field tha connects humans aka syncronicity. By the end of the long exchange of letters/ideas - Pauli was more open minded about the possibilty. I have an invention idea that may prove the existence of a soul once and for all but the resources it would take to conduct the experiments would be in the millions and I am a struggling artist and deep thinker just making ends meet. I reached out to Dean Radin years ago but he too is always strapped for experiment monies. C’est la vie! Maybe some mystery is good after all.

You're right. I just checked and they have all passed away. Wow. I really appreciate this documentary series - it came along just as I was entering college and made a big impact on me and my friends. We would debate these ideas late into the night.

This is so interesting . As a lifelong friend of the pigeon I’ll certainly read more about their efforts in the two world wars. Thanks Rupert!
