In this episode Curt Jaimungal and Jonathan Pageau explore a cognitive theory of everything that weaves symbolism, purpose and meaning into a Christian non‑dualism, arguing that ancient wisdom and modern understanding can be reconciled. They discuss how unity and multiplicity, vertical causation, and the nature of humanity point toward a radical view of reality.
