The Paranormal Is Real: Why Science & Religion Must Rethink Reality ~ Professor Jeffrey J. Kripal
Nondual CommunicationShow Notes
What if the paranormal isn’t fringe—but fundamental to reality?
In this conversation, Jeffrey J. Kripal challenges the limits of both science and religion, exploring why anomalous and spiritual experiences have been dismissed for so long. We discuss materialism, shame, imagination, and the role of the paranormal in shaping human meaning.
Kripal also introduces The Super Story, his forthcoming project examining paranormal currents in the history of religion and science, and offers a hopeful, future-oriented vision for engaging the unknown with curiosity, compassion, and intellectual rigor.

It was a genuine pleasure to speak with and listen to Ken McLeod. Ken is a renowned Buddhist teacher, writer, and former student of Kalu Rinpoche.
Every time I sit down to talk and listen to Yoram Mosenzon, I’m amazed by the depth of his embodiment of Nonviolent Communication, and by how deeply he is able to go through what I experience as his commitment to honesty, self-connection, and trusting the wisdom of the body and Nature’s own unfolding.
It was an inspiring joy to sit down with Alex Olshonsky, my sort-of dharma brother from a distance.
I am once again joined by NVC teacher & friend Liv Larsson.
