Watch: Becoming More By Becoming One: Hyperphysics, Creative Union, and the Differentiated Self
Dear Friends of Developmental Philosophy,
In this video from Steve McIntosh’s Zoom Group, theologian and Teilhard scholar Robert Nicastro presents Becoming More by Becoming One: Hyperphysics, Creative Union, and the Differentiated Self.
Robert Nicastro, Ph.D., is a theologian, teacher, and writer whose work explores the convergence of religion, science, and technology. His research examines how emerging technologies are reshaping human identity, planetary consciousness, and the future of religious thought within an evolutionary and cosmological framework. He serves as Executive Director of the Center for Christogenesis, where he advances an integrated vision of science and spirituality inspired by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. His doctoral dissertation developed a constructive theological account of Teilhard’s “hyperphysics,” proposing an evolutionary metaphysics of complexity, consciousness, and divine becoming for theology in the twenty-first century.
In this presentation, Robert examines Teilhard’s concept of hyperphysics, an effort to extend science beyond matter to include consciousness as a fundamental dimension of the cosmos. Drawing on Teilhard’s principle that “union differentiates and personalizes,” he explores the counterintuitive idea that authentic unity does not dissolve individuality but deepens and intensifies it.
Robert’s responses to the group’s questions at the end further clarify the philosophical and spiritual implications of Teilhard’s vision.
