634 Thomas Hubl – Mysticism, Inner Science, Consciousness and Evolution
Mysticism and The Inner Self
Thomas Hübl is a visionary teacher, innovator, and founder of the pioneering Academy of Inner Science, which promotes the study of the principles of mysticism and human inner development.
Originally a student of medicine and science, Thomas took a radical departure into the exploration of mysticism, including a four-year meditation retreat. For the past 15 years Thomas has dedicated himself to the systematic exploration of mysticism, gaining insights into how mystical knowledge can help fill in the gaps in science. In this convesatiopn I explore Thomas’s distinct approach in understanding consciousness, evolution, and the junctures between mysticism and science
