Over the course of the history of this podcast, we\u2019ve covered events and experiences that are so bizarre, seemingly irrational and even absurd, that one can\u2019t help but come away from an exhaustive examination of this data wondering how on Earth it fits into our notion of reality at all. Put simply, I don\u2019t think it does. But not because the data is somehow in error. After all, at this point, there\u2019s simply too much of it, with too much cross-cultural, cross-temporal consistency for that to be the case, even allowing for a healthy dose of filtering for cases involving misrepresentation, misapprehension and/or mental instability. No, it being the case that this is a bonafide phenomenon - happening to real people, in real ways - and has been since time immemorial, the problems must lie not in the data, but in our very conceptions of reality.

\nIn today\u2019s episode we\u2019ll be unwrapping this enigma even further, but not in the form of a new case we\u2019ll be studying, but rather in the form of questions and answers. The questions submitted this time around for this Inquiring Mind feature were - again - of the highest caliber - and my thanks go out to all who took the time to submit a question. Since I don\u2019t have the time to answer all of the questions submitted, I\u2019ve chosen to engage with several that I think help us to keep our eye on this central question regarding the ultimate nature of reality. And with that in mind, let\u2019s get right to it, in this, the 3rd installment of The Inquiring Mind, in this, the 62nd episode of the Point of Convergence podcast.
