The Flip, A discussion of Jeffrey Kripal’s book

Did you know Albert Einstein advocated telepathy research or that
Marie Curie attended seances? In this edition of The
Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues, Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Vernon
discuss, The Flip, a new book by Jeffrey Kripal. The title refers
to the range of experiences, from precognitive dreams to NDEs,
that “flip” individuals from a mechanistic and materialist
worldview. They become much more open to possibilities such as
panpsychism and idealism. Kripal’s contention is that flips are
common and, were they talked about, they would change culture.
But would they? The conversation ranges over the links between
psychic phenomena and spiritual experiences, to whether there are
better ways of discussing psi beyond the perennial issue of
proof? Is panpsychism an adequate way forward? And what is the
meaning of the flips that people undoubtedly have?
