InPresence 0073: The Wisdom of Nonsense

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff focuses on a further development by Dr. Raymond Moody concerning the role of nonsense in enabling a greater appreciation for psychic realities, survival after death, and the world beyond the senses. He points out that many things we take for granted as normal and rational actually appear to be quite absurd (and even harmful). He also notes the use of nonsense in surrealistic art and poetry.
