Real or A Hoax? The Secrets Behind the Telepathy Tapes

Jeffrey J. Kripal is a professor of Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University in Houston, Texas and he is back on the pod to answer all your burning questions about the chart topping podcast THE TELEPATHY TAPES (is it real? Is it a hoax?), near-death experiences, and how science falls short when studying the metaphysical and supernatural abilities. Jeffrey explains how the very attempt at measuring extra-sensory abilities could make them unmeasurable. Mayim and Jeffrey explore the possibility that those with autism, ADHD or who are nonverbal may be able to tap into another realm and how fear plays a large role in limiting our perception of these abilities. --- CHAPTERS: 00:00 - INTRO 04:17 - Why Are We Afraid to Entertain the Impossible? 10:15 - The Politics of Knowledge: Risk in Believing the Supernatural 20:10 - A Case Study in Mystical Experiences 25:54 - Mind-Brain Connection: Understanding Consciousness 34:14 - The Altered State of Dreaming 42:17 - People Are Ready for This: Cultural Shifts toward the "Impossible" 54:49 - Outro --- Listen on our website: https://www.bialikbreakdown.com​​ Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6TgOe2poCdpZtQwKetQmU1 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mayim-bialiks-breakdown/id1546456269 Check out our Merch: https://shop.bialikbreakdown.com/ Sign up for our Newsletter: https://www.bialikbreakdown.com​​ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bialikbreakdown/ Find Mayim Bialik: https://www.facebook.com/MissMayim/​​​ https://www.twitter.com/MissMayim/​​​ https://www.instagram.com/MissMayim/​​​ https://www.tiktok.com/@mayimbialik Jeffrey J.
