Podcast 434 – “The Metaphysics of the Psychedelic Experience”
Guest speaker: Bernardo Kastrup
PROGRAM NOTES:
[NOTE: All quotations are by Bernardo Kastrup.]
“It is not the mind that is in the body. It is the other way around. It's the body that is in the mind.”
“In the same way that there is nothing to a whirlpool but water, I claim there is nothing to a brain-body system but consciousness.”
“The psychedelic trance allows us to 'see the stars at noon' because it simply eclipses the sun of egoic-awareness. It reduces the obfuscation and allows us to see more.”
“I believe that the key insight from the psychedelic experience, the key metaphysical insight about it, is not what the nature of the psychedelic realm is. In fact, I think the key insight is about the nature of our everyday reality.”
