Opening the Archives of the Impossible: Some Personal Reflections
with Professor Jeffrey Kripal
Sunday 30th October 2022 – 3:00pm-5:00pm: £15 (UK time) via Zoom
£15
Jeff will reflect on the opening of Rice University’s Archives of the Impossible (named after his intellectual history of the paranormal, Authors of the Impossible) and why the response to this event was so overwhelming. With over 1,700 registrants and literally hundreds of thousands of views of the plenaries and panels, something is going on of great significance. There is a “spiritual hunger” in the world that is not met by naive or literal beliefs or strictly secular and rational debunking. Jeff reflects on what that “third space” looks like and why it is the next big thing.
