David's guest this month is Arabella Thaïs, who is a transdisciplinary philosopher whose work explores the deep structure of reality. She earned a First-Class Honours degree in English Literature from the University of Bristol, followed by a Master’s in Modernism and Comparative Literature from University College London. She is currently completing her Ph.D. in philosophy and physics from the California Institute of Integral Studies. Alongside her academic work, Arabella runs The Temple—an online platform for philosophical education—and hosts The Cosmic Codex podcast. She is committed to the evolution of humanity, and her work explores the intersection of poetry, mathematics, beauty, and time, which she teaches at her school of consciousness & self-realisation. She uses various aesthetic mediums – such as music, film, and experience design – in order to communicate ideas and propel human transformation.
Imaginal Inspirations is hosted by David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network and Chair of the Galileo Commission, an academic movement dedicated to expanding the evidence base of a science of consciousness. Imaginal cells are responsible for the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly, which is the Greek symbol for the soul. These cells are dormant in the caterpillar but at a critical point of development they create the new form and structure which becomes the butterfly.
