My latest obsession
Jeffrey J. Kripal is a scholar of religion at Rice University and his books are addicting. They speak of all my favorite things: gods, death and sex, mystics and mutants, saints and super heroes, angels, aliens, and the paranormal with a splash of quantum physics thrown in for the skeptics. Every time I read one of his books my mind cracks open a little bit more.
These are the ones I’ve read so far as I work my way through his corpus.
This is one of my favorites. The hardback is beautiful and so fun to read.
Dr. Kripal’s specialty at Rice is GEM–gnosticism, esotericism, and mysticism.
