The Impossible Made Possible: Jeffrey Kripal on Paranormal Reality and the Limits of Materialism

Join host Andrew Holecek in a thought-provoking conversation with Jeffrey Kripal, the J. Newton Rayzor Chair in Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University. In this engaging episode, Kripal shares insights from his book "How to Think Impossibly," offering a refreshing challenge to conventional materialistic worldviews that have dominated scientific discourse. With a blend of scholarly rigor and unexpected humor, Kripal explores how paranormal experiences and phenomena like UFOs deserve serious intellectual consideration rather than dismissal. His emphasis of "dual aspect monism" provides a fascinating framework for reconciling seemingly contradictory experiences of reality, suggesting that what we call "paranormal" only appears so within our limited materialistic paradigm. This conversation bridges philosophy, spirituality, and cutting-edge thinking about consciousness. Whether you're interested in the boundaries of human experience or simply enjoy questioning established frameworks, Kripal's perspective offers valuable insights into how we might expand our understanding of reality beyond current limitations. Listen in as two thoughtful minds explore the territory where science meets mystery, and where new possibilities for human understanding await.
