What is a Morphic Field? Why Are They Important in Magic and the Occult?

I shared in earlier this year that a morphic field is an energy field that is created by those aligned through a shared focus; they can be physically together or geographically apart, and the resonance built by the participants can act as a channel of communication and of shared blessings. Morphic fields are also reinforced by successive generations. The term was formed by biologist Rupert Sheldrake in his work, Hypothesis of Formative Causation, though in esoteric terms, a field is not bound to biology alone. For the purpose of discussion, I am also further expanding on this notion in this update blog post.
