A few weeks ago, we conducted an interview for the Austrian Podcast-show "CropFM" with Dr. Jeffrey Kripal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_J._Kripal), author of several books on mysticism and comparative religious studies of strange circumstances involving fiction-writers and paranormal events.

We talk about Jeff's personal mystical experiences in Kalkutta, India, that finally lead him down the road writing amazing books like "Authors of the Impossible: The Paranormal and the Sacred", "Mutants and Mystics: Science Fiction, Superhero Comics, and the Paranormal " and "Super Natural: A New Vision of the Unexplained". Other topics discussed include the meta-story behind religion and science and their implications, the influences of pop-culture and the need of finding a new story for humanity and how "high strangeness" events seem to revolve around writers of science- and weird-fiction as well as comic-books. Language as a means of understanding and creating reality and much more.
