What if the “impossible” isn’t impossible at all—but simply a sign that our worldview is incomplete?
In this excerpt from Neon Galactic, Rice University professor and author Jeffrey Kripal breaks down what it truly means to “think impossibly.” Rather than dismissing extraordinary human experiences —UFO encounters, visions, synchronicities — as hallucinations or errors, Kripal argues that they may be pushing us toward an entirely new understanding of reality.
At the center of this conversation is a radical idea: that human beings are not singular, stable selves, but something deeper and more complex—what Kripal calls “the human as two.” Beneath our everyday identity lies another dimension of consciousness, one that reveals itself in dreams, trauma, and anomalous experience.
Kripal invites us to move beyond reductionism and engage directly with these phenomena—not to explain them away, but to think with them. In doing so, we may begin to glimpse a future worldview capable of integrating both the mental and the material, the scientific and the mystical.
