Really great discussion! I can't help but see a similarity in the way Dr. Kripal suggests treating those who have impossible experiences and groups like Alcoholics Anonymous. There is the acknowledgement that the experience happened and there is no way to control it. There is the search for others who have had a similar experience. Finally there is the admission that no human force or technique can cure the person.

27:00 i try to keep a foot in each world. I'm admittedly a skeptic and i think there are "paranormal" phenomena which are nearly irrefutably socially explainable (There is strong evidence for many UFO/abduction phenomena being rooted in sci-fi, for example.) I'm willing to entertain that in many of these cases there is some kind of in between, even. The interdimensonal phenomena is an interesting example of that that i personally don't agree with, but that i can totally understand leaning towards, but what i share in common is the notion that we are "seeing/experiencing SOMETHING", but poorly contextualizing it based on biased/flawed human reasoning and perception. I, in fact, have had experiences that i cannot explain, that involved other people who experienced them the same way. But i've also had experiences that I WAS able to reduce to social phenomena, in a variety of ways, from cognitive biases like "Bandwagon effect" or "Truth bias" all the way to delusions and memory manipulation. I had a phenomena that i thought was happening for awhile that I later realized was me having a panic attack, which would occasionally excite the fight/flight response to the extent i would erroneously perceive objects around me as shadowy figures. Later, even when i did not SEE them, i assumed they were there because i saw the anxiety feeling as a direct signal of what i thought was "Dimensional overlap", meaning that a shadow person had crossed into my dimension, or made itself perceptible. Eventually i even started to "Try" to see them, and in essence what i did was to replicate "Visualization techniques" and then alter my memories based on those techniques, and then reinforce those alterations through social reinforcement. One day I "Came to" in the middle of doing it, and actively analyzed and put in to words what i saw myself doing. From that point on, it was no longer possible for me to experience this phenomena past the very start of the process, at a certain point i would realize what i was doing and couldn't proceed in the way it had. For a long time i dipped entirely into the skeptical side of my personality, i was constantly debunking everything. I still lean far towards that side, but I had to go back to certain other experiences and reevaluate, and even at my most skeptical I've always been willing to at least entertain the possibility of certain phenomena, which many skeptics find childish or silly.

[@MantasticHams]

Also just as an aside, this clashing of skepticism and weirdness that i've experienced heavily shaped my interest in chaos magick, psycho magick, and discordianism. I started to realize what i was doing was a kind of ritual and had some power to it.

No! She has no idea what she is doing. Don't encourage her. Jesus Christ.

You mentioned that you don't think that science can prove magic. I disagree. I think they already have with E=MC2=h*bar*v . Energy, mass, frequency. I think the best example is a transformer, in the method of induction. Of course, that is with the mindset that magic is the application of energy to nudge an outcome towards the casters intent. Additionally, I think the story needs to be in how we define our sense of family.

Why not take the impossible up to the precipice of science and prepare for a journey into the unknown? "We've got provisions and lots of beer, prepare to meet the challenge of the New Frontier. "
