1. The Flip
Arguing for a radical reversal in how we think about mind and reality, the book contends that mystical visions, near-death and psychic experiences, psychedelic revelations, and other epiphanies are not mere anomalies but evidence that consciousness is primary and that Western materialist epistemology misses crucial dimensions of experience. Combining case studies, historical and religious scholarship, and contemporary neuroscience, the author calls for an expanded, interdisciplinary framework that treats transformative inner experiences as legitimate sources of knowledge, embraces paradox and nonduality, and explores the implications of this shift for science, spirituality, and culture.
