Part 2/9:
The Case for Greater Sensitivity in Human Experience
The notion that some individuals may resonate with extraordinary capacities is not new; it is deeply entrenched in the narratives surrounding spiritual and mystical phenomena. Kripal suggests that those who have suffered trauma or have specific neurodivergent experiences can tap into aspects of reality that remain hidden to the general population. This opens the door to examining paranormal experiences not as anomalies but as integral components of the diverse human condition. Historical contexts filled with mystical experiences across cultures serve as evidence that such capabilities have always played a role in human understanding and connection.
