I bought Jeffery Kripal's and Whitley Streiber's book "The Super Natural" and read it back in 2016. It opened me up to the possibility of paranormal experiences being an emerging new spirituality in our time. In this book I read of the following reported experience by Kripal's colleague. It is to me an extraordinary yet utterly baffling demonstration of the thesis of this book:

"In 'The Super Natural', 2016, Kripal recounts an anecdote by a colleague of his, Dale Allison, who one day washed off the lip of a honey jar and set the jar on a counter to dry, before turning to his cabinet to take out a tin of flour. As Allison was taking the tin from its shelf, he felt it grow heavier in his hands and dropped it in surprise. When the tin hit the floor, its lid came off. Allison saw something inside the container and cleared away the flour to find the honey jar he had just placed on his counter, which – when he looked over – was no longer where he had put it. Allison tells the story himself in Encountering Mystery: Religious Experience in a Secular Age." ---

I will add that Mr. Allison said of this experience later on: "It was then that I knew materialism was wrong."
