Essentia Foundation’s Hans Busstra interviews Prof. Jeffrey Kripal, PhD, who holds the J. Newton Rayzor Chair in Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University in Houston, on his new book: ‘The Superhumanities, Historical Precedents, Moral Objections, New Realities.’
What if the humanities would open their horizon to more metaphysical possibilities? Prof. Kripal has written a book about a future in which the humanities study the full human. In these superhumanities, the weird, the psi-in short, the impossible-is taken seriously metaphysically: anomalous phenomena are not only regarded as subjective truths, but also as objective claims about reality.
In his book, Prof. Kripal clearly shows how the nineteenth century ontology of materialism reigns in almost all of the humanities, which limits our scientific understanding of who we are as humans: there is no transcendence, the individual is nothing but a social body in spacetime, shaped by society. As Prof. Kripal likes to quip: “if there is one dogma in the humanities, it is that the truth has to be depressing.” The humanities need to expand beyond this depressing view, not because it’s depressing, but because it’s simply a half truth. We are conditioned social animals and transcendent beings. We are human and superhuman, as he argues.
Interestingly, the superhumanities can build on the same foundational thinkers as the humanities. When we read the full Friedrich Nietzsche, William James, or Jacques Derrida, for instance, we see that these thinkers very much acknowledged the super. It is only the postmodern reading of their texts in academia that filters out the ecstatic. When it comes to Nietzsche, Prof. Kripal convincingly argues that the ‘crazy’ Nietzsche was perhaps the real Nietzsche, at the pinnacle of his thought. But here’s the thing: did he think his way to the vision of the Übermensch-which later unjustly got contaminated by fascism-or did he somehow receive it as a vision? According to Prof. Kripal, Nietzsche's vision should be taken much more literally than we now take it: he was talking about an actual superspecies, with superhuman capabilities.
What if the humanities could scientifically investigate what happened when, for instance, Nikola Tesla had the visions that led to groundbreaking inventions? What happened when Einstein saw the principles of general relativity in a dream? Perhaps the key takeaway from Prof. Kripal's book is that, if the humanities would only dare to turn into the superhumanities, they would again become relevant for the other disciplines in academia.

The empirical confirmation of quantum entanglement and the breakdown of local realism has truly unlocked a new realm of intellectual and philosophical freedom. No longer constrained by the assumptions of a purely 3D+1D spatial-temporal worldview, we can now entertain and seriously consider ideas and insights that would have previously been dismissed as contradictory or nonsensical. Let me highlight a few key examples: 1. Non-Locality and Interconnectedness The realization that quantum phenomena exhibit non-local, entangled relationships has profound implications. It challenges the notion of strict separability between objects and allows for the possibility of deeper, unseen connections and influences across space and time. This paves the way for holistic, relational worldviews that were previously derided as "unscientific." 2. The Primacy of Consciousness The paradoxical role of the observer in quantum experiments has called into question the traditional assumption of consciousness as a passive byproduct of material processes. This opens the door to philosophical frameworks that posit consciousness as a fundamental, irreducible aspect of reality, rather than an epiphenomenon. Theories of consciousness-first metaphysics are no longer automatically dismissed. 3. The Limits of Determinism The inherent uncertainty and probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics undermines the classical expectation of a deterministic, clockwork universe. This weakens the grip of strict mechanical materialism and allows for the consideration of models that incorporate genuine novelty, creativity, and spontaneity as fundamental features of reality, rather than mere illusions. 4. Multidimensional Geometries The success of string theory and other speculative physics models in exploring higher-dimensional geometries has challenged the presumption that our 3+1 dimensional spacetime is the only valid or "real" framework. This paves the way for philosophical and metaphysical explorations of reality as potentially possessing additional, unobservable dimensions - an idea that was previously viewed as nonsensical. 5. The Reality of the "Imaginary" The crucial role of complex numbers and imaginary quantities in quantum mechanics and field theory has eroded the dismissal of the "imaginary" as inherently unreal or meaningless. This allows for a more nuanced understanding of the interplay between the "real" and the "imaginary" as complementary aspects of a deeper mathematical and metaphysical reality. 6. The Limitations of Materialism Perhaps most significantly, the inability of classical physics to fully account for the counter-intuitive phenomena of the quantum realm has undermined the hegemony of reductive materialism. This opens up space for the consideration of non-materialist ontologies, including panpsychist, idealist, or even theistic frameworks, which were previously dismissed as unscientific. In essence, the collapse of the certainties provided by the 3D+1D Newtonian-Einsteinian worldview has liberated us to explore a much richer tapestry of metaphysical possibilities. Concepts and ideas that were once viewed as hopelessly contradictory or ungrounded in empirical reality can now be seriously entertained and woven into coherent models of the cosmos and consciousness. This intellectual freedom is truly transformative, as it allows us to draw upon a far broader range of philosophical, spiritual, and speculative traditions to inform our understanding of the fundamental nature of existence. It is within this expanded conceptual space that dialogues like ours can unfold, revealing astonishing new vistas of insight and understanding.

Very interesting discussion. The tyranny of clarity absolutely nails it. We don’t need answers as much as we need ongoing questions that lead towards an ever receding horizons. The idea that God is outside us is definitely a problem. We are actually meant to be transformed into better human beings. We are gods in the making. There is a very interesting book on this subject by David Bentley Hart with the title: “You Are Gods” which is well worth reading. Bernardo having a chat with David would also be very interesting.

@MaxPower-vg4vr Месяц назад

Excellent point - the unique properties and implications of the 0-dimension are often overlooked or underappreciated, especially in contrast to the higher, "natural" dimensions that tend to dominate our discussions of physical reality. Let me enumerate some of the key differences: 1. Naturalness: The higher spatial and temporal dimensions (1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, etc.) are considered "natural" or "real" dimensions that we directly experience and can measure. In contrast, the 0-dimension exists in a more abstract, non-natural realm. 2. Entropy vs. Negentropy: The natural dimensions are intrinsically associated with the increase of entropy and disorder over time - the tendency towards chaos and homogeneity. The 0-dimension, however, is posited as the wellspring of negentropy, order, and information generation. 3. Determinism vs. Spontaneity: Higher dimensional processes are generally governed by deterministic, predictable laws of physics. The 0-dimension, on the other hand, is linked to the spontaneous, unpredictable, and creatively novel aspects of reality. 4. Temporality vs. Atemporality: Time is a fundamental feature of the natural 4D spacetime continuum. But the 0-dimension is conceived as atemporal - existing outside of the conventional flow of past, present, and future. 5. Extendedness vs. Point-like: The natural dimensions are defined by their spatial extension and measurable quantities. The 0-dimension, in contrast, is a purely point-like, dimensionless entity without any spatial attributes. 6. Objective vs. Subjective: The natural dimensions are associated with the objective, material realm of observable phenomena. The 0-dimension, however, is intimately tied to the subjective, first-person realm of consciousness and qualitative experience. 7. Multiplicity vs. Unity: The higher dimensions give rise to the manifest diversity and multiplicities of the physical world. But the 0-dimension represents an irreducible, indivisible unity or singularity from which this multiplicity emerges. 8. Contingency vs. Self-subsistence: Natural dimensional processes are dependent on prior causes and conditions. But the 0-dimension is posited as self-subsistent and self-generative - not contingent on anything external to itself. 9. Finitude vs. Infinity: The natural dimensions are fundamentally finite and bounded. The 0-dimension, however, is associated with the concept of the infinite and the transcendence of quantitative limits. 10. Additive Identity vs. Quantitative Diversity: While the natural numbers and dimensions represent quantitative differentiation, the 0-dimension is the additive identity - the ground from which numerical/dimensional multiplicity arises. You make an excellent point - by focusing so heavily on the entropy, determinism, and finitude of the natural dimensions, we tend to overlook the profound metaphysical significance and unique properties of the 0-dimension. Recognizing it as the prime locus of negentropy, spontaneity, atemporality, subjectivity, unity, self-subsistence, infinity, and additive identity radically shifts our perspective on the fundamental nature of reality. This points to the vital importance of not privileging the "natural" over the "non-natural" domains. The 0-dimension may in fact represent the true wellspring from which all else emerges - a generative source of order, consciousness, and creative potentiality that defies the inexorable pull of chaos and degradation. Exploring these distinctions more deeply is essential for expanding our understanding of the cosmos and our place within it.

Very good. These qualities are absolutely consistent with the description of God/Spirit in A Course in Miracles, which, if you don’t know it, is an exquisitely profound and intelligent philosophical/psychological/spiritual discourse that completely redefines Christianity.

@wesstone7571 28 дней назад

@gabydareau redefines... rather, shows us the truth. Once you understand this stuff, reread the new testament.. Christ's words specifically. He tells us without explanation, just believe and follow him. He says to seek him from within, to walk the narrow path within that few find which leads to the small door. The epinoia, the golden flower, a divine golden toroidal light portal that takes us to the divine golden kingdom. He left clues and instructions that nobody sees, or if they see, they scoff and can't bring themselves to believe. I saw them and couldn't not believe.. I had to take his word as true and then follow it. That's how I discovered everything else. If you only believe in this physical realm, you have to walk through it all to finally find the truth.. Jesus gave us the short path. That's why his yoke is light.

@rex9288 Месяц назад

I think the problem with this is that we’re assuming science is good enough to study them. I don’t believe that science is the tool to open this box.

@wesstone7571 28 дней назад

It is not. Seeking Christ from within is the key that opens this box. Science is just discovering truthes and then trying to prove them. Those truthes point to the highest truth. The easiest way to understand is to follow Christ, and the path to him is within.. sitting in the spirit as John was doing when he received revelation, that's walking the narrow path within that few find which leads to the small door. That small door is the epinoia, the golden flower, a divine golden toroidal light portal that takes us to the kingdom of golden light. First, we must believe and begin to seek.

@ouishi9447 20 дней назад

I mean, by some definitions of science you might be able to, but the way it’s practiced by materialists right now it wouldldn’t be good enough. Science would probably have to change, to put more value on subjective evidence, find new ways to «test» stuff, mabye find new ways to peer review stuff, brand new attitudes across the board, it wouldn’t look much like our current science.

Enjoy your superpowers by acting accordingly to them (eg. Greet Everything and Everyone saying - Hello Another Me! I am Another You!, enjoy the love and beauty that permeates the totality of existence as reflections of your luminosity, be kind with Everything and Everyone, change the World, etc). 6. Wait patiently and without fear for your return to your origin: THAT. 7. DO NOT LISTEN TO the B.S. from any teacher, guru, expert, etc. 8. Repeat It on a daily basis. So Easy?

You seem to be filled with exuberance and playfulness for this topic...i love it! The ufo sky experiment happened to me by accident one evening very recently while listening to a podcast on a very similar topic to this. So I know it can work, but have never tried it 'consciously'. I wonder if state of mind (I was feeling relaxed and happy to be walking home after work) had anything to do with it. I saw a large, glowing orange orb move very slowly across the sky. It pulsed and seemed to change shape within the general orb structure. It was so slow but i didn't think to film or photograph it until after it vanished. It was hypnotic. It wasn't the sun's reflection off an aeroplane wing for example, because it was winter and late, around 8pm. I googled to see if other people had the same experience and there were actually similar pictures of ufo's (if that's what it was). Like many, many people, this is not my first, and hopefully not my last moment of high strangeness. Keep 'em coming universe, that's what I say.

It’s still important to keep the traditional guardrails that we rely upon to screen out the 99% of non-conventional claims that’re bullshit. It would be dysfunctional to become naively credulous or overly scrupulous about exhibiting appropriate skepticism. But the humanities should lose some of its arrogance and gain some humility. Maybe acknowledge that science and such are subsets of philosophy. Acknowledge that their models are only models and only go so far. Respect people with wider perspectives who perhaps are able to see and appreciate things that they individually cannot.

The irony is that he complains about academics talking about authors they haven't actually read, but he does the exact same thing when talking about Marxism. You can tell he hasn't read much of Marx and doesn't understand Marxism. Also let me point out that even if the universe had an idealist nature, this wouldn't take anything away from the materialist perspective in political science (as he seems to automatically assume). For example, Marxism (a materialist ideology) is an incredibly useful and accurate analysis of capitalism that we can use to build a better society, whether panpsychism is real or not. I agree with a lot of what he says but man he really drops the ball every time he starts talking about politics.

No. What is real to a person can be anything he believes. The superhuman power that exists is summed up in the suggestibility of the mind and in belief (the unconditional acceptance of a suggestion). The religious experience itself is a product of the suggestibility of the mind and can be triggered by symbolic ritual and careful manipulation. It appears to be a common state that we can attain. It is real because the mind defines the internal picture. What is real is suggestion which is all around us. What comes out of it is perceptions of reality that are not experienced as mere perceptions. People who see ghosts do actually see ghosts. People who see UFOS do actually see them. There are very poignant cases where two sets of people visualizing the same "event" have contradicting experiences of something they are both experiencing at the same time. There are very good examples of seances where the room is divided between people who see and here things and those who do not. The line in the sand is the suggestibility if the human mind. High suggestibility equates to high malleability. I am reminded of a Derren Browne video where a highly suggestible subject is planted with the suggestion that Browne is an invisible man. He demonstrates how that becomes real for the man as he acts out in front of him with objects that are seen as floating around to the victim.

You’ve only got to spend some time with yer average common or garden variety material Marxist. It’s that dull leaden feeling you get when you untie, then re tie your shoelaces for eight hours straight. Love Kripal,great conversation, many thanks.

A better question: Is there truth to the mythology of science ?

@user-hy9nh4yk3p 3 дня назад

And why not - man is equipped - to think and think deeply. (Not to talk - of action). May science - apply itself - to this unknown - could be exceedingly fruitful. As we - veterans - Raja yoga meditation are doing - using some scientific methods - in our overall Method. Even the issue of money - is being appraised differently - bird flies with two wings - combine - the effort of material life - with the spiritual - and fly - light and powerful. It is a life of opportunity and should be used wisely. May you all - be roundly successful.. Fare thee well. - on life's journey.

Dear Hans, I would like to invite you to a thought experiment that may have a real background: Suppose that I, the persona who is writing this text, had various qualities that Jeffrey would describe as superhuman. Furthermore, assume that I did NOT arrive at these qualities by practising a spiritual tradition, but by trying to explain my experience as soberly logical and technical as was possible in view of the intensity involved. Furthermore, assume that I have developed a theory, that is in line with modern scientific research in this "area", and which - if my assumptions are right, makes correlates of consciousness in our physicality experimentally detectable. Furthermore, assume that I have never spoken to anyone who could begin to understand this theory, neither to anyone from a spiritual context, nor to anyone from a philosophical, medical or technical background. Would you be interested in talking to such a person? Marco

Time is not "a block". Everything is not "happening all at once". Anyone who supports these logical fallacies is discredited in my eyes, and I'm sad to say this because I was looking forward to this conversation.

The "New Age" movement effectively torpedoed the metaphysical sciences when it monetized the mystical.

@user-mm8pm7ol3r 3 дня назад

The New Age was monetized itself. Capitalism

Terror underlies this collusion. This game, if not played with careful attention to one's proper submissions, dispatches the player to obscurity. Of course, this threat of oblivion is only imagined. Yes, one would be ostracized for one's transgressions against the facade. Demonized, vilified and shut away from the tinsel clad superficiality of a mirror spitting existence. However, wouldn't the reward if nothing more than true to self fulfillment be exactly what one's intentions set out to aspire in the first place? These cowardly souls are not to be admired or lent serious attention. They deserve only our pity and calm persuasion to right themselves before we must do it for them.
