A Worldview for Global Change with Jude Currivan & Bernardo Kastrup #2

What if scientific evidence actually points to a living, evolving universe?

Dr Jude Currivan, (PhD MSc CMA), is a cosmologist, planetary healer, futurist, and author. She has an MA in physics from Oxford, a PhD in archaeology, and senior business experience ranging from the UK Stock exchange to international corporations including HMV and Scholl.

She argues that entropy, understood informationally, is part of the universe’s growth into richer forms of organised complexity, and that growth hints at a deeper intelligence or purpose.

I highly recommend this short post from Jude summarising key evidence supporting this view:

The Unitive Science of a Living Universe - The Fifth Element’s Latest Discussion Paper - World Academy of Art and Science

• The same patterns shape everything — from atoms to the universe to human society
• What we call matter may be better understood as organised information
• Mind and consciousness may play a more fundamental role in the nature of reality
• In a holographic universe, the whole is not built from separate parts; instead, each part reflects the pattern of the whole

She first spoke with Bernardo in January 2026 in a conversation that spanned cosmology and corporate ethics, the recording of which is available here: https://dandelion.events/e/s3i6r

(or if you're a member of With Reality in Mind you can watch it here: https://www.withrealityinmind.com/recording-a-worldview-for-global-change/)

I'm excited to have Jude returning to discuss her groundbreaking thoughts and their profound implications.

Bernardo, as director of Essentia Foundation, is leading the Western renaissance of metaphysical idealism in academia and science, the view that mind, spirit, or consciousness is the ultimate nature of reality.

Together, we’ll compare consciousness-based worldviews, and their implications for how we live our lives.

As a warm-up, you might enjoy this short film produced by Jude, A Radical Guide to Reality

About Jude Currivan

Dr Jude Currivan PhD MSc CMA is a cosmologist, planetary healer, futurist, and author whose life’s work unites leading-edge science with universal wisdom traditions.

Holding a master’s degree in physics from Oxford and a doctorate in archaeology from Reading, she also trained as a Chartered Management Accountant and served on the Council of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants and the UK Stock Exchange Listing Committee.

Jude’s early career was in global commerce – she was Group Finance Director of international corporations HMV and Scholl, establishing operations in multiple continents. This experience gave her an intimate understanding of the world’s economic and financial systems, later informing her systemic approach to global transformation.

In the mid-1990s she turned to full-time research and planetary service, integrating her scientific background with her lifelong exploration of consciousness, ancient cosmologies, and the evolution of life. Her seminal works—The 8th Chakra, The 13th Step, HOPE – Healing Our People and Earth, The Cosmic Hologram, and The Story of Gaia – chart a profound arc from personal awakening to planetary evolution.

In them she proposes that the universe is a living, unified system of in-formation - where energy, matter, and consciousness are inseparable aspects of a cosmic whole.

Through her non-profit WholeWorld-View, Jude collaborates with scientists, business leaders, economists, and change agents to foster what she describes as a new “WholeWorld cosmology” – a worldview based on unity, coherence, and regenerative design. She is an active member of the Club of Rome and the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, contributing to global dialogues on reframing economics, rethinking finance, and cultivating planetary well-being.

Bernardo Kastrup's work has been leading the modern renaissance of the philosophical position, ‘metaphysical idealism’ that reality is essentially mental, an appearance in ‘mind.’  Bernardo has a Ph.D. in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the 'Casimir Effect' of Quantum Field Theory was discovered). Formulated in detail in many academic papers and books, his ideas have been featured on Scientific American, the Institute of Art and Ideas, the Blog of the American Philosophical Association and Big Think, among others. Bernardo's most recent book is The Idea of the World: A multi-disciplinary argument for the mental nature of reality.
