November 27th, 2007 at 11:48 am (interview, Paranormal, Consciousness Survival, Psi, Parapsychology)
An interview with the man behind The Trickster, George P. Hansen.
The paranormal encompasses everything from levitating monks to ESP, from spirits to cattle mutilations—an incredible and unsavory hodgepodge. The mix seems incoherent. But the trickster makes sense of it.
Psi, the paranormal, and the supernatural are fundamentally linked to destructuring, change, transition, disorder, marginality, the ephemeral, fluidity, ambiguity, and blurring of boundaries. In contrast, the phenomena are repressed or excluded with order, structure, routine, stasis, regularity, precision, rigidity, and clear demarcation.
Understanding the role and nature of the Trickster is fundamental to understanding the paranormal.
