The current debate over “disclosure” often centers on evidence. This conversation centers on capacity.
Joining Kimberley Lafferty is experiencer, teacher, and community leader Robin Lassiter for an exploration of what happens when human beings encounter realities that challenge their assumptions about consciousness, identity, and the nature of existence itself. Drawing from developmental psychology, contemplative wisdom, and decades of experiencer testimony, they examine how meaning is made at the edge of the known—and why the future of disclosure may depend less on what is revealed than on our ability to meet it with maturity, discernment, and wonder
Throughout human history, the spiritual or extraordinary experience has appeared in our storytelling, rituals, art, literature and oral wisdom traditions. Reality shifts at some point for all of us. Non-ordinary realities are mysterious, deeply impactful moments of our life, yet we rarely have the place or space to talk about or make meaning of them — until now.” —Kimberley Lafferty
“There are four major stages or phases of spiritual unfolding: belief, faith, direct experience, and permanent adaptation: you can believe in Spirit, you can have faith in Spirit, you can directly experience Spirit, you can become Spirit.” —Ken Wilber, One Taste
