Unveiling the Interplay of Science and Spirituality with Steve Taylor

Steve Taylor is a psychologist at the University of Leeds who works in transpersonal psychology, the study of consciousness, awakening experiences and spirituality. He is the author of "The Fall", "Waking From Sleep", "Back to Sanity", "The Leap" and "Spiritual Science", and Eckhart Tolle has praised his work for its clarity.
I came to this one as a curious skeptic, which made it a good conversation. We get into his critique of pure materialism, enlightenment as an ongoing process rather than a finish line, what consciousness might actually be, whether emotional turmoil can crack people open, the place of psychedelics in spiritual practice, and even the question of telepathy from a scientific angle. Take what is useful, leave the rest.
