Cognitive Science and Mysticism with John Vervaeke

​John Vervaeke lays out a plausible, even persuasive case for Mysticism. Making Mysticism viable for us moderns. Marshaling the latest findings in Cognitive Science and Developmental Psychology in support Higher States of Consciousness and Transformative Mystical Experiences.   What, Why and How? Attempting to provide a Descriptive (what is happening, phenomenologically), Prescriptive (why it should be taken seriously, why such transformations are rationally justifiable) and Functional account (how these states function from a cog-sci perspective, mechanisms at play and the Cognitive Continuum hypothesis) of Transformative Mystical Experiences.
