In Trika, raw emotions like love, humour, and grief can connect us to the absolute. But in this dialogue @bernardokastrup.bsky.social did not shy away from a deeply human response to the horror reality can contain.

Studies of psychic phenomena are criticized for being unrepeatable, or of only small statistical significance. In response, @bernardokastrup.bsky.social highlights the inconsistency of this critique when compared with other scientific fields
