Christof Koch is a hugely influential figure in the science of consciousness. I was somewhat taken aback at a recent conference when Christof spoke of the recent mystical experience that has changed his life. I couldn’t resist having a chat with Christof about his experience and how it’s impacted him. It was a great conversation, and I’d love to hear people’s thoughts on it.

For more on Christof and his fantastic books, including 'Then I Am Myself the World' in which he talk about his mystical experience, check out his website: https://christofkoch.com/
