In this podcast, we begin with a poem by Thich Nhat Hanh, describing the duality of mystical consciousness. We move into a discussion of time alteration during the mystical experience based on quotes from a physicist and a guru. Finally, we conclude with quotes from Haidt's The Happiness Hypothesis and Pollan's How to Change your Mind that elucidate some of the neuroscience behind mystical experiences.
