Morphic Resonance

Rupert Sheldrake, who gained a PhD in biochemistry for his work in plant development and plant hormones, read over my proposed mechanism for angiosperm evolution in 2015.¹

He said my theory seemed "fairly plausible" which means he didn't see anything glaringly wrong.  He implied I provided no fossil evidence to support my theory, but the sudden rise and domination of angiosperms in the fossil record is what my theory seeks to explain.  I told Sheldrake my theory supported the concept of morphic resonance, but I forgot to tell him how.

For those unfamiliar with morphic resonance: 

" Morphic resonance is a process whereby self-organising systems inherit a memory from previous similar systems. In its most general formulation, morphic resonance means that the so-called laws of nature are more like habits. The hypothesis of morphic resonance also leads to a radically new interpretation of memory storage in the brain and of biological inheritance. Memory need not be stored in material traces inside brains, which are more like TV receivers than video recorders, tuning into influences from the past. And biological inheritance need not all be coded in the genes, or in epigenetic modifications of the genes; much of it depends on morphic resonance from previous members of the species. Thus each individual inherits a collective memory from past members of the species, and also contributes to the collective memory, affecting other members of the species in the future.^2 "

The concept of irreducible complexity can be applied to physical structures (such as the angiosperm or the anatomy of the eye), group dynamics, and types of neuronal programming.  One extremely advanced, irreducibly-complex neuronal programming is the neuronal programming for the human soul.

In A Proposed Mechanism for Angiosperm Evolution, structures of irreducible-complexity that afford exponential advantage to organisms are represented with a stability trough.

Stability trough for angiosperm

The irreducibly-complex neuronal programming for the human soul has a stability trough:

Stability trough for soul consciousness

Stability troughs in one time-period can link to similar stability troughs from a previous time-period.  For example, a person born in the year 1954 may have a soul stability-trough so similar to the soul stability-trough of a person who died in 1945 that a link is created.  In this way, pieces of consciousness are shared between two organisms living in different time periods.

Soul stability-troughs for similar organisms of different time periods

Sheldrake asserts that memory need not be solely stored in material traces inside the brain.  I don't see a problem with memory being solely stored in material traces inside the brain.  However, memories can be passed from one brain to a similar brain in a different time-period.  I propose that organisms are genetically programmed (via natural selection) to take advantage of links to similar stability-troughs of the past.  Having past-life memories can help organisms survive.  Children who have past-life memories are often very open about the nature of the previous incarnation's death.  This helps the new organism avoid making similar mistakes.³
