In this gripping episode, I sit down with Sebastian Junger, journalist and author of "In My Time of Dying," to explore his transformative near-death experience and subsequent spiritual awakening. Sebastian delves into the profound impacts of his aneurysm, questioning the nature of reality and the boundaries of life and death through the lens of both mysticism and quantum physics. We discuss the interplay between his rationalist beliefs and the mystical experiences that challenged them, blending personal narrative with broader philosophical questions. Tune into a conversation that bridges the gap between the known and the unknown, scrutinizing the thin line between transcendent insight and mental illness. Visit our podcast page for episode notes, Sebastian's works, and more enriching content.
