The Cosmic Codex
Welcome to The Cosmic Codex—a transmission from the edge of becoming.
Hosted by philosopher and Ph.D. candidate Arabella Thais, this podcast traces the golden threads that weave cosmos, mythos, and psyche into a unified vision of reality. Through visionary dialogues and solo scholarly riffs, Arabella excavates the deeper structures of existence—drawing from philosophy, cosmology, depth psychology, mathematics, poetics, and the occult.
This is a philosophy podcast for a new epoch, one that dares to ask how meaning, beauty, and consciousness are encoded into the fabric of the universe. Each episode contributes to a larger arc—unfolding themes such as retro-causality, anarchy, the Eternal Feminine, symbolic mathematics, and the aesthetics of time—as part of an urgent project: to reimagine the real and awaken a cosmology of wholeness.
The Cosmic Codex is not merely a podcast.
It is a living manuscript. A metaphysical map.
A call to remember what you came here to know.
