  • The Nature of Phantom Limbs

    The Nature of Phantom Limbs
    Jun 3 2024

    Video: https://youtu.be/v0i1xc-khTQ

    After the amputation of a limb, most amputees experience a phantom limb in the place where their limb used to be. Subjectively, these phantoms feel real even though they do not behave like normal limbs and can be pushed through solid objects. The standard theory is that these phantoms are produced as illusions inside the brain, but Rupert suggests they may be the subjective experience of the fields of the missing limbs, which are located exactly where they seem to be. If so, the phantoms might interact with the fields of other people, and some types of healers may be particularly sensitive to them. Rupert discusses simple experiments that can reveal whether phantoms really are where they seem to be and remain part of the body-field even though the material limbs are no longer even present. This research has profound implications for our understanding of the relations between minds, body images and bodies.

Curious, interesting, open-minded, and enjoyable

Heretics are fascinating, especially modern day heretics like Rupert Sheldrake. Honestly I came to this podcast with a 'banned tedtalk' and little else known about Sheldrake, except that he is shunned from the scientific community because of wayward thinking and challenging the accepted 'science.'

But isn't science about asking questions about the natural world, and then trying to find answers to those questions? At its heart, that is what science is. So I have always taken issue with anyone who claims 'the science is settled' about anything. Or the folks who seem to regard science as almost a religion, some omnipotent deity hidden in numbers from whose devotees we must take orders and to whom we must pledge our unquestioning devotion.

So anyway, when I saw Sheldrake had a podcast about animals (one of my very favorite topics), I thought, "well why the heck not?"

And I must say, this was an engaging discussion between these two authors. Admittedly they veered into metaphysics and spirituality discussions as much, if not more, than they talked about animals, but... It was thought-provoking and makes one think about things from a slightly different vantage. I like that.

I am not saying that I am ready to prescribe to Sheldrake's theories, but one does not need to believe every word someone says in order to enjoy listening to that person. These gentlemen had a subdued humor, expansive intellects, and very curious views about the nature of reality. And I enjoyed listening to them both very much.

illuminating conversation

Two of my heroes. Heretics are really just those that question the establishment. Two extremely intelligent men that use critical thinking & open minds to advance understanding. A breath of fresh air.
