Dr. Jeffrey J. Kripal | The Super Natural, Religious Experience, & A Hermeneutics Of The Imagination
Hermeneutics, Hermes and the Co-Creation of Meaning
Dr. Kripal defines hermeneutics as the art of deciphering meaning, derived from the trickster god Hermes. He argues that there is no singular "correct" interpretation of a dream or paranormal event; instead, meaning is co-created between the observer and the experience. This radical perspective suggests that an event actually changes based on how an individual chooses to engage with and interpret it.
