Dr. Jeffrey J. Kripal | The Super Natural, Religious Experience, & A Hermeneutics Of The Imagination
Cultural Residue, Indigenous Wisdom and Nature
The discussion addresses the "cultural residue" that colors how people perceive the paranormal, comparing modern sci-fi lenses to ancient grimoires. Dr. Kripal and the host discuss how industrialized society has dismissed indigenous superstitions instead of incorporating their complex understandings of time and dreams. They suggest that living closer to nature may increase the frequency and potency of high strangeness experiences.
