Infinite Now, with Sean Crowley

What is matter in contrast to mind? What is mind in contrast to matter? And how are each threaded into the totality of ‘what is’?Though we have spent much time trying to unravel these questions, all we seem to have found is a dense tapestry of process and relation. And yet one revealing insight has presented itself: we were always led by the shaping of our own questions. We sought limits, grounding and shape - but none were to be found. Thus, the question was wrong from the outset … for mind and matter were never things to hold, but rather, unique classes of a single unbound relational continuum.Only in one exception has any quality of distinct finitude continued to hold its dominion. This being the self’s own private frame. A selfhood not bound by the nature of things, limit or shape, but rather by a currency of finite, relative meaning. Where relation and participation are merely two sides of the same coin.And so we reframe our line of enquiry and now ask … how does this self, this finite perspective, become relationally meaningful amid such an unbound infinite continuum?So join me as I attempt to unpick the infinities of ‘what is’.🔍 Topics covered* The Root of Meaning* Parmenides of Elea* Zeno and the Dichotomy* Perspectives amid Infinity* What is Selfhood?https://www.skool.com/infinite-now-with-sean-crowley-2070/about👆 If you wish to join us for a more in-depth conversation concerning the topics of the Infinite Now, you can join us at the above link.

While some may consider a study of psychic phenomena to be little more than resource-wasting foolery, others (including the US military) have gone so far as to claim psychic activity to be irrefutable. And indeed, history has tended to agree. Whether enquiring upon the royal holy man or the tribal shaman, the local soothsayer has forever been a common port of call for those about to wage war. But perhaps more curious is the fact that this practice has not, in over four thousand years, ever fallen out of use.

“We must postulate a cosmic order of nature beyond our control to which both the outward material of objects and the inward images are subject.”These are the words Wolfgang Pauli shared with Carl Jung. And indeed, many have postulated just such a domain. In this chapter, we shall enquire into the history of this Dual-Aspect Monism, and in particular, the acausal reality proposed by Pauli and Jung in the early parts of the last century. So join me as I attempt to unpick the infinites of ‘what is’.🔍 Topics covered* Relationality of Nature* Metaphysical Ontological Primitives* B.

What if reality isn’t made of things at all?In this episode, we move beyond the search for fundamental building blocks and begin to question the assumption behind it. From atoms to fields, physics has long tried to locate the “things” that make up reality. But what if that search is misguided from the start?Instead, we explore a different possibility: that reality is not composed of objects, but of relationships—a continuous process of interaction, where what we call “things” are only temporary stabilisations within a deeper flow.Drawing on ideas from quantum physics, process philosophy, and contemporary metaphysics, this episode reframes how we think about identity, structure, and existence itself. If everything is relational, then even concepts like self, boundary, and separation begin to shift in meaning.This is not just a scientific question—it’s a philosophical one. And it may change how we understand reality, consciousness, and our place within it. So join me as I attempt to unpick the infinites of ‘what is’.🔍 Topics covered* What is reality made of?* The limits of reductionism* Process philosophy and relational ontology* Why “things” may not be fundamental* The role of relationships in defining identity* Consciousness as relational, not isolatedFull Series Podcast, or Full Series Films, click here: http://linktr.ee/InfinitenowAct 2 - Chapter 23: Fragments of Process0:00 - 03:30 Introduction03:30 - 08:32 Modern Materialism08:32 - 15:20 Limits of Math & Measure15:20 - 19:22 Relations or Relata?19:22 - 27:40 Consciousness & Identity27:40 - 28:53 Sean’s UpdateThanks for reading!

Does Consciousness Collapse the Wave?Does the Wave Collapse at all?Do Particles even exist?These are not merely the concerns of a few fringe physicists; these are the questions that nature has forced upon us as we attempt to learn what both mind and matter are.In this episode, we investigate four real and significant interpretations of quantum mechanics, thereby giving us a detailed look into, not only how theorists are grappling with the current dilemmas, but indeed, what all the fuss is about—and finally, what does it all say about consciousness?So join me as I attempt to unpick the infinites of ‘what is’.Full Series Podcast, or Full Series Films, click here: http://linktr.ee/InfinitenowAct 2 - Chapter 19: Waves & Perfect Circles0:00 - 01:10 Introduction01:10 - 09:02 Consciousness Collapses The Wave09:02 - 16:46 There Is No Collapse16:46 - 24:26 Perspective Is Key24:26 - 30:38 Hidden Variables30:38 - 35:50 Wholeness & Consciousness31:50 - 36:59 Sean👋 Join The Discussion: infinitenowwithseancrowley.substack.comFor extended research notes and further credits, please view our full visual episodes on YouTubeConsciousness In Physics #Many Worlds #RQM #Relational Quantum Mechanics #Pilot Wave Theory #David Bohm #Cosmos #Consciousness #Metaphysics #Infinity #Philosophy #physics #Einstein #Relativity #QFT #Quantum Mechanics This is a public episode.

In this episode, we follow quantum mechanics beyond wave–particle duality and into the measurement problem: where does measurement begin, where does it end, and why does observation seem inseparable from reality itself? From Einstein and Bohr, Stuart Bell, and David Bohm, we uncover why every attempt to draw a clean boundary between system and apparatus, observer and observed, inevitably fails.The question isn’t whether the wave collapses…It’s whether borders exist at all.---These chapters are part of a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, and to see the unseen. 0:00 - 02:24 Recap02:24 - 07:45 Wholeness In Physics07:45 - 14:57 the Double Slit Experiment14:57 - 18:04 The Einstein and Bohr Debate18:04 - 22:42 The Measurement Problem22:42 - 24:49 SeanFull Series Podcast, click here: Infinite Now, with Sean Crowley  Full Series + Pretty Pictures, click here: Act I - What Is The Physical Universe?  Act 2 - Chapter 21: The Experiment That Broke Physicshttp://linktr.ee/Infinitenow👋 Join The Discussion: infinitenowwithseancrowley.substack.comFor extended research notes and further credits, please view our full visual episodes on YouTube#Bohm #Bohr #Metaphysics #physics #Einstein #Relativity #QFT #Quantum Mechanics #Double Slit Experiment #Measurement problem This is a public episode.

Vacuums, photons, potentialities, and quanta.These are not merely the building blocks of science’s latest debate, but a mirror into our philosophical quest to understand the nature of being & becoming.In this episode, we continue our unraveling of the battle which shaped science and our understanding of the physical world. How ancient concepts influenced the ideas of modern science, from Plank to Maxwell, Einstein & Bohr. So join us as we trace a dialogue between philosophy and physics, and humanity’s quest to understand the very fabric of reality.💡This is part two of a two-part chapter on the history of light, from Plato to Maxwell.These chapters are part of a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, and to see the unseen.

Aether, atoms, waves, and particles.These are not only the building blocks of science’s oldest debate, but a mirror into our philosophical quest to understand whether nature is an aspect of being or becoming. For over 8,000 years, humans have grappled with this riddle, asking whether the universe is composed of particles or waves.In this episode, we explore The Forgotten Battle That Shaped Science: Aether vs. Atoms, and how these ancient concepts influenced the development of modern science. Join us as we trace the dialogue between philosophy and physics, uncovering the hidden stories behind humanity’s quest to understand the very fabric of reality.💡This is part one of a two-part chapter on the history of light, from Plato to MaxwellThese chapters are part of a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, and to see the unseen.

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.

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.Act 2 - Chapter 18: The Great Opera Omnia Full Series Audiobook, click here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJKKoGjld9iyiHfe9N27SR4VOxN4tHSuT&si=hFF1dFq4vdXYRa5m Full Series Films, click here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJKKoGjld9izBq6z39TFxNNeljB5r17_J&si=sp_7K-nidAdFisfH http://linktr.ee/InfinitenowFor extended research notes and further credits, please view our full visual episode (link above). #Panpsychism #Gaia #JamesLovelock #OrganismEarth #Consciousness #Metaphysics #Perception #Infinity #Philosophy #ConsciousnessReimagined #Mind #Reality #PlantMind #Gaia theory, #systems theory #Joseph Campbell #Rupert Sheldrake #Earth system science #fractals in nature #cosmic web #animism #philosophy of mind #hylozoism This is a public episode.
