Bridging the Gulf Between Spirit and Matter (with Psychedelics?)

Episode 104 – 

The connection between the natural world and the supernatural world, between matter and spirit, is one of great mystery.  Some might contend that physical matter is a hindrance to spiritual growth, while others find their spiritual lives enhanced by the natural world.  One thing is for sure:  the interplay between the two is consequential and definitely worth exploration.

Chad’s at the helm as he pulls up anchor to see which way the winds take this drifting discussion of an episode, as Ben tries to calculate coordinates and engineer some sort of safe passage as co-host.  The two brave the open seas of a loosely planned episode.  What should be made of claims to spiritual experiences by those taking psychedelic drugs?  How ought we approach alleged spiritual interventions into the natural world – things like miracles, apparitions, and direct messages from God?  What are we anyway – spirit-body composites, or ghosts in a machine?
