The Not Yet God and the Relational Whole | Process Pop-Up

The new science, especially quantum physics, has changed our understanding of space, time and matter; hence it raises new questions on the meaning of God. Is God outside space and time? Or is God integral to the unfolding of the universe? If consciousness is fundamental to matter, is consciousness fundamental to the reality of God as well? We will discuss these questions and more as we explore the essential role of consciousness in relation to the religious experience of God.
In this process pop-up Ilia Delio discusses ideas from her latest book, The Not-Yet God: Carl Jung, Teilhard de Chardin, and the Relational Whole.

Amazing and so needed ❤❤❤

One of the most clarifying talks on the indivisible nature of things. I have the sense that the relational whole is the world of name and place. Interestingly, I think advaita Vedanta teachings may at times devalue relative experience. The illusion of life, Maya, the idea that I am me, isn’t going anywhere❤ thank you everyone great job.
