Evolution Quote by Laurence Galian
““If beings with a head, two arms and two legs evolved ten million years before us, then they permanently affected the morphogenetic field, creating a template of a sentient being. The morphogenetic field is transtemporal, just as the morphogenetic field is not restricted to any point in space. The morphogenetic field transcends time. For this author holds that as Sheldrake's morphic resonance affects all future events, events happening in the present and future will also resonate into the past. The information coming through is coming from all points in time.””
