On this episode, co-host David Stuss and I interview writer and thinker Patrick Harpur about the daimonic dimension, visionary experience, and the human soul's sense of exile.

We discuss Harpur's book, "The Daimonic Reality: A Field Guide to the Otherworld,” as well as several his other volumes dealing with numinous human experience, initiation, the soul tradition, and how this all fits within the framework advanced by Harpur.

“The Daimonic Reality" is a foundational text, one that embraces the complexity of human encounters with The Other and draws stark parallels between various kinds of extraordinary experiences and the lessons they teach.

We also discuss the often described evolution of human consciousness, and if it's a real thing or a chimera.

We explore how daimonic encounters often function as initiations that send percipients down the rabbit hole of related topics and phenomenologies, resulting in a dramatic shift of worldview.Harpur describes the experiences of Carl Jung with daimonic entities, and how such energies compare with Jung's notion of archetypes.

Finally, we discuss how adopting an open-minded consideration of such things can enrich one's life and help our species reclaim its lost sense of wonder.
