Excerpt from the documentary "Art Meets Science and Spirituality in a Changing Economy - From Fragmentation to Wholeness" Artists, scientists, spiritual leaders and economists gathered in Amsterdam in 1990 to explore the emerging paradigm of a holistic world view and the implications for a global economy. The five day confernce, Art Meets Science and Spirituality in a Changing Economy was inspired by the artists Joseph Beuys and Robert Filliou, and manifested by Louwrien Wijers, who called it a "mental sculpture."

Rupert Sheldrake (born 28 June 1942) is an English author, lecturer, and researcher, best known for his idea that "memory is inherent in nature". From 1967 to 1973 he was a biochemist and cell biologist at Cambridge University, after which he was principal plant physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics until 1978. Since then, he has primarily worked on developing and promoting his concept of "morphic resonance" which posits that "natural systems, such as termite colonies, or pigeons, or orchid plants, or insulin molecules, inherit a collective memory from all previous things of their kind". He also claims that morphic resonance is responsible for "telepathy-type interconnections between organisms". As such, his advocacy of the idea encompasses subjects such as animal and plant development and behaviour as well as various parapsychological claims involving memory, telepathy, perception and cognition.
