Showing results for "Illusion" in Philosophy

This podcast starts with a deep examination of Richard Bach's book "Illusions," which made a profound difference in my life.

Why does one person see Jesus in a shower curtain, get a "bad feeling" about someone they've just met, or hear a conversation so differently than the other person? Boxer Wachler describes some of the mysterious medical conditions that cause non-psychiatric hallucinations and neurological mix-ups.
