Morphic Resonance

Morphic Resonance is a concept proposed by biologist Rupert Sheldrake suggesting that patterns of behavior, forms, or habits in nature are influenced by previous similar occurrences through a kind of collective memory. This means that once a particular form or pattern appears, it becomes easier for similar ones to develop later, as they are "resonating" with the past. For example, if many people learn a skill, it may become easier for others to learn it too, because the collective memory of that skill influences future learners. This idea challenges conventional views by implying interconnected, cumulative influences shape development and behavior across time.
