  • Hitting “delete”

    Extolling the likes of Sogyal Rinpoche and Eben Alexander as admirable (see articles on sexual predation/violence and professional ethics respectively; and HH Dalai Lama’s comments on both) seems a marker of naïveté, at best. For me, it’s simply offensive.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Arabella Thais: Philosophy of Time
Q: And we're going to start with the first question, which is really a shaping moment in involving your choice of work, leading to where you are now, because I think you've had a number of avenues that you've pursued.
Arabella describes a turning point in 2017 while caring for her grandmother on her deathbed, triggered by reading Four Quartets by TS Eliot, which she experienced as a revelatory activation linking time and consciousness and setting her on a path that combines literature, philosophy, and spirituality.
Seán ÓLaoire: Christ Consciousness
Q: Do you have a key moment of insight in your work in relation to consciousness that you'd like to share?
The answer that emerged from a dream-based inquiry was that consciousness is source saturated self-awareness, followed by a revelation about Christ consciousness as the permanent inner divinity of all beings, which then shaped his lifelong practice of hosting a personal cosmology and teaching others to do the same.
Jude Currivan: The Cosmology of Love
Q: Can you elaborate on the science of unity of love and how it informs your work with WholeWorldView?
She explains that unity of love is an emergent understanding that connects science and universal wisdom, showing the universe as living and interdependent, and that this perspective guides her research and collaborations to bridge spirituality with cutting-edge science.
Jude Currivan: The Cosmology of Love
Q: Tell us a little about the books that shaped your life and thinking.
Currivan describes early influences from ancient wisdom and literature, including Upanishads and classical myths, which she began exploring through a local library and family support, alongside later engagement with quantum physics and cosmology that deepened her sense of unity.
James Finley: Action and Contemplation
Q: How does your understanding of mystical consciousness influence the way you live your life?
Finley feels his spiritual vision profoundly influences his life, emphasizing a sense of gratitude and a connection to the divine in ordinary moments.
