Bonnitta Roy - Transforming Perception Through Process Relational Philosophy

Bonnita Roy is an insight guide, philosopher, and futurist whose work is deeply grounded in cutting-edge cognitive science, evolutionary theory, contemplative studies, and metaphysics. From 2014-2022 she designed, developed, and directed a masters course in Consciousness Studies at the Graduate Institute (now known as Salem Univeristy). Soon afterward she launched the Pop Up School where she develops and directs transformative courses such as A New Theory of the Body, Lyrics Culture: Ontological Designs for Backloop Realities, and Varieties of Religious Experiences. Her latest venture is The Divinity School - a leadership program that forges leaders who can see deeper into reality, make decisions that benefit the whole, and align humanity with the natural intelligence of the universe. In this episode, we discuss process relational philosophy, the limitations of science, the core metaphysical disagreements in the liminal space, naturalizing machine agency & horizons of biological intelligence, The Divinity School program, the four powers of transformational leaders and so much more.🔗[Links & resources] 🔗Follow Bonnitta on SubstackFollow Bonnitta on Twitter/XJoin The Divinity School transformational leadership programThe typology of process relations by Bonnitta RoyHerbert GuntherJean GebserAlfred North WhiteheadCharles HartshorneMatt SegallGregg HenriquesThe Dawn of Everything by David GraeberSabine HossenfelderKen WilberThe Ends of the World by Peter Brannen📝[Show Notes] 📝0:00 - Introduction 1:38 - Articulating embodied insight into a coherent philosophy 5:22 - Landscaping, business & decoupling money from creative & intellectual work 14:15 - The immense challenge of writing 18:33 - Using images to understand and explain ideas24:35 -  What is Process Relational Philosophy? 36:30 - The limitations of science39:26 - How the post-modern mind misunderstands the observer effect 41:20 - The metaphysics needed to bridge science and religion 45:00 - The core metaphysical disagreements in the liminal space53:12 - People go from minimalist physicalism to maximal consciousness56:00 - What all meta-physics require (the 3 metaphysical necessities) 1:00:10 - Integral list serve, awakening & spiritual practice 1:12:27 - The Divinity School (Masters in leadership) 1:17:29 - Naturalizing machine agency and horizons of biological intelligence 1:25:08 - The four powers of transformational leaders 1:32:14 - The impact Bonnitta hopes her work has on the world*Subscribe to the Insighter substack to get in-depth articles on the theory and practice of human transformation through a post-conventional lens*Follow me on Twitter (x) *Add me on Facebook
