Non-Linear Causality: The Wiggly Way of Ecosystems, Nature & Interdependence


Listen Later

Join Rohini for this exploration of one of the most humbling truths of the living world: that life does not move in straight lines.

Non-linear causality is the way of Nature, of ecosystems, of healing and relationship. It’s the spiral rhythm through which life self-organizes, regenerates, and evolves — not through control or prediction, but through interdependence and emergence.

Rohini unpacks the contrast between linear causality, the worldview of Newtonian physics and scientific materialism — where every cause has a single, measurable effect — and non-linear causality, the realm of quantum mechanics, ecology, and Mystery, where everything is entangled and alive in relationship.

Through the lens of complexity science, animist cosmologies, and ecological examples, this episode invites you to see the world not as a machine, but as a living web of reciprocity and feedback.

Explore how this understanding transforms the way we experience creativity, healing, and Life's timing, how it frees us from the compulsion to control outcomes, and reawakens our trust in Life’s innate organizing intelligence.

To live with awareness of non-linear causality is to remember that we are Nature, woven into a vast, sentient network of interconnection.
