Sang Bok Lee: Process Thought and Neurotheology
Perhaps the most import!ant methodological question guiding
Sang Bok Lee’s presentation (“Process Thought and Neurotheology,” August 8, 2006) was this: “How can we most adequately interpret chaos or complexity in relation to the impact of social location in both theory and practice?” Concerns brought about by events such as 9/11, violent military conflicts throughout the world, and the myriad of intensely challenging political and social issues, all bear witness to the intensely chaotic and massively complex nature of our world. And, although the sort of conflict that one finds at the macrocosmic level may not always be directly discernable at the closer-to-home microscopic perspective, our individual lives also manifest varying degrees of complexity. In short, at every level one is confronted with the paradoxical
relation between chaos and cosmos.
process theologian, it is import!ant for him to note that these are only several personas among numerous others which each play a vital role in both shaping and constituting his complete individual
identity. “How can I integrate my pastoral understanding as a counselor,” he asks himself, “in all aspects of my life?” Thus, his primary concern, both with his lecture, as well as with every facet of his diversely influenced/influencing life, are squarely situated
in the notions of dynamic integration, creative intersection, and constructive interdisciplinary approaches in the exploration of the human condition.
More specifically, however, Lee is concerned with cognitive science. To this end, he has been developing an interdisciplinary form of clinical psychology influenced by the method and the content
of Whiteheadian metaphysics, the process theology of John Cobb, James Ashbrook’s neurotheology, and various elements of Taoist thought. For example, Lee discussed how Whitehead’s notions
of the initial aim or conformal feeling, aesthetic supplement or conceptual feeling, intellectual supplement or comparative feeling,
and satisfaction are each revealed in human experience. The neurotheological perspective developed by Ashbrook suggests that there are two crucial modes of expressing one’s conception of the divine: analytic and imaginative, which represent the left and right brain hemispheres respectively. Finally, from Taoism Lee utilizes four hermeneutic approaches or schemes: 1) a mind-body communication model, 2) a holistic approach, 3) a multicultural
model, 4) an approach to the limbic system, which involves a model of homeostasis.
By employing such a synthetic paradigm, he feels that he is able to allow seemingly disparate modes of discourse to cogently communicate, comfortably cohabitate, and mutually reinforce one another; always guided by our shared desire for increased harmony
and flourishing. @@
