Cambridge University’s parapsychologist and scientist, Rupert Sheldrake, developed the concept of morphic resonance. Sheldrake proposes that it is responsible for “telepathy-type interconnections between organisms.” His advocacy of the idea encompasses paranormal subjects such as precognition, telepathy, and the psychic staring effect. Sheldrake has also noted similarities between morphic resonance and Carl Jung’s collective unconscious. Perhaps it is why birds fly in perfect formation or why we get that uncanny feeling of someone staring at us!
