According to its founder and main proponent, the biologist Rupert Sheldrake, a morphogenetic field is similar to an electromagnetic field that carries information only, not energy, and is available throughout time and space without any loss of intensity after it has been created.
Morphogenetic fields are created by the patterns of physical forms. They help guide the formation of later similar systems where a newly forming system "tunes into" a previous system by having within it a "seed" that resonates with a similar seed in the earlier form.
Morphogenetic fields can be used to describe how human consciousness is shared.
The Morphogenetic fields therefore play the main role in the idea that humanity at one point in time will go through a dramatic collective shift in consciousness. A shift that will happen when the critical mass for a shift is reached, for example, when a certain number of spiritually awakened individuals are reached. (spiritual.com)
