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.

ARCHIVE #12 — Fractals of the Real: Consciousness Beyond the Brain with Professor Allan Combs
What if the brain is not the origin of consciousness, but its receiver? In this visionary conversation, I’m joined by Professor Allan Combs, PhD—renowned consciousness researcher, neuropsychologist, and systems theorist, currently based at the California Institute of Integral Studies. With over 200 publications and a lifetime achievement award from the International Society for Consciousness Studies, Professor Combs is a leading voice in the movement to liberate mind from mechanism.
We explore the nature of consciousness as non-local, recursive, and woven into the very structure of reality. Our dialogue traverses an astonishing range: animal consciousness, morphic resonance, near-death experiences, sacred geography, ghosts, past lives, and the Imaginal Realm. Drawing from both empirical research and visionary insight, Professor Combs shares his view of the brain as a transceiver—not a generator—of mind.
We also dive into the symbolic relationship between fractals, poetry, and perception, illuminating how pattern, metaphor, and recursive form may be embedded in the very language of the cosmos. Virginia Woolf, Thomas Berry, Jungian synchronicity, and trickster intelligence all make luminous appearances.
This conversation offers a rare synthesis of scientific inquiry and symbolic depth—for those attuned to mystery, and the unseen geometries of mind.
This episode was originally released under the podcast title Sacred Wisdom, the precursor to The Cosmic Codex. It now resides within The Sacred Wisdom Archives.
