This presentation is an excerpt from Linda's forthcoming dissertation "Frontiers of Plant-Human Collaboration" (June 2019, UCSC Philosophy), focusing on the concept of physicocentrism in relation to the devas and nature spirits with whom the early Findhorn co-founders collaborated in their garden in Scotland in the early 1960s. With the nature-culture split that is part of modernism, only the physical is considered to be scientifically real, making it difficult to engage seriously with non-physical entities such as devas and nature spirits. The "New Age", of which Findhorn is a part, is reaching toward new ideas but stays rooted in modernist language and concepts that limit its usefulness in a further scientific investigation of devas and nature spirits. Linda introduces Karen Barad's "agential realism", an ethico-onto-epistemology that (among other features) provides a coherent interpretation of quantum physics, thereby overcoming modernist limitations and expanding the notion of what can be considered real. Agential realism includes a notion of the "virtual" as real, which can be utilized to make sense of Findhorn's devas. And Linda points out that agential realism can also include the "transphysical", or spacetimematterings that are enacted according to patterns other than the physical - which is needed to make sense of Findhorn's nature spirits. If the physical is enacted according to a metrical spacetime geometry (which permits measurement), we can also talk about the etheric, which has been hypothesized (by Steiner and others) to match up qualitatively with the non-metrical projective geometry. By overcoming physicocentrism, or the notion that only the physical is real, we can consider working scientifically (based on the concepts of agential realism) with virtual entities such as devas and with transphysical entities such as nature spirits. The virtual, the physical, and the transphysical are not separate from one another but are thoroughly entangled and causally connected.
