In this issue we explore the mysteries that lie beyond the boundaries of ordinary knowing. These are the spaces where science meets mysticism, where narrative becomes revelation, and where human potential flickers in ways we’re only beginning to understand.

We begin with a conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Kripal, whose work challenges our deepest assumptions about reality. Drawing from philosophy, mysticism, and the paranormal, Jeff offers a compelling framework for what he calls “impossible thinking,” and invites us to engage with extraordinary experiences not as anomalies to be dismissed, but as clues to a larger, more inclusive understanding of the cosmos. This interview will show you that the mystical and the supernatural are co-expressions of a singular, creative wholeness, while reminding you that story, more than anything, might be the medium through which mystery speaks.

Next, we journey into the layered terrain of Shelli Renée Joye, whose pioneering synthesis of science and spirituality, that she calls tantric psychophysics, maps consciousness across quantum fields, ancient yogic wisdom, and the collective noosphere. Shelli invites us to contemplate how the architecture of reality may be composed of nested fields of awareness, and how each of us can become conscious participants in the evolution of a more loving and luminous planetary mind.

We conclude with Julia Eve, whose intimate relationship with the tarot becomes a portal into the imaginal realm—a symbolic space alive with presence, intuition, and inner knowing. Julia speaks of tarot not simply as a tool, but as a creative and mystical practice through which we are able to engage the sacred in everyday life. Her reflections affirm that spiritual insight is not the privilege of the initiated, but the birthright of all who are willing to approach mystery with openness and trust.

We are fortunate in this issue to have Shelli Renée Joye as our featured artist. And as always, this issue is complemented by visual and written contributions from members of The Mystery School, whose offerings echo the central theme: that hidden potentials are not hidden because they are distant, but because they require a different way of seeing.

We hope you enjoy the issue.
