  • What Is The Language of the Universe? | Infinite Now Ch19
    Aug 23 2025

    Is math a universal truth, or just a story we tell? From Plato’s ideal numbers to Archimedes’ infinite circles... from A.N. Whitehead’s process philosophy to the mysteries of modern physics, we explore where mathematics lives and what it tells us about the nature of reality. So join me as I dissect the symmetries that stand between being and becoming, parts and process, finite and infinite.

    This is a chapter in a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, and to see the unseen. Join the conversation:

  • Do Atoms Have Consciousness? Gaia, Animism & the Revival of Panpsychism | Infinite Now Ch18
    Jul 26 2025

    From the quiet intelligence of plants and the Gaia hypothesis, to ancient animistic traditions and the fractal structure of the universe, we follow the hidden thread connecting all self-organising systems across the universe to ask the provocative question: Is consciousness limited to living organisms?


    Drawing on the work of Joseph Campbell, James Lovelock, Rupert Sheldrake, and the philosophy of panpsychism, this video explores the question: What is consciousness really? And where, if anywhere, does it end?


    So whether you're curious about the nature of the mind, fascinated by systems theory, or questioning the limits of scientific materialism, this journey into the conscious cosmos may offer a new perspective on life, energy, and the mysterious force that connects it all.



    This is a chapter in a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, and see the unseen.

  • How Plants Think & What It Teaches us about Consciousness | Infinite Now Ch17
    Jun 21 2025

    What is plant intelligence? What is thought without a brain? Although many will react strongly against the notion of plant consciousness, it does nonetheless remain a profound field of academic enquiry. From Mimosa to mycelial networks, we explore how plants and mushrooms challenge our understanding of thought, intelligence, consciousness and even free will. From biology to philosophy, we ask if intelligence is truly confined to neurons, or something far more ancient, abstract and expansive. This is a chapter in a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, to see the unseen.

  • Which Brain Can See The Most Reality? | Infinite Now Ch16
    May 17 2025

    Beneath what you see lies a structure shaped by consciousness—a hidden universe born not of matter, but of relation, attention, and limitation. In this episode, we follow a path from ordinary space and time to extraordinary insight: where a single shape in an endless desert opens up worlds, and where perspective reveals not just what’s seen, but what is missed. So join me as I attempt to reimagine consciousness, not as a property of the brain, but as a kind of lens through which the infinite becomes finite. This is a chapter in our wider metaphysical journey, inviting you to look again at the world and see the unseen.

  • Quanta or Continuum? What Is Reality? | Infinite Now Ch12
    Aug 24 2024

    Dive into the mysterious world of quanta and explore the intriguing question: What does it mean to be "emergent"? Recent theories have even begun suggesting that space & time are themselves emergent. But if so, what are they emerging from? Is reality made of fundamental quanta, or are they merely aspects of some unbounded wholeness? And how does this shape our understanding of self? Is reality objective or subjective? Join us on a journey into the realm where science and philosophy meet.
