    30 Years Among the Dead

    Thanks for joining us! This week we dive into another older book by Dr. Carl Wickland, who describes decades worth of firsthand experiences with the dead speaking through his highly sensitive wife. He approaches these cases with clinical skepticism, but by the end of his research it's clear he had resigned himself to the reality of these communications, whatever they may actually be. Welcome to your Plus+ extension! We are here to ask if the Bible and its contents were created as a means to pacify a potentially dangerous, Messiah-seeking populus by offering a contentment-encourager in the form of a Sun god. Slangin’ holistic parables that align perfectly with the 40 year rule of the most famous Ceasars of Rome. This comes from the work of Joseph Attwell in his book "CAESAR'S MESSIAH: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus." Check out the link below and get the new Inescapable Podcast out now.

  2. The Mysteries of Kurupira

    The Mysteries of Kurupira

    Welcome to Mysterious Universe, mental ninjas! Come with us as we explore an unexplored land. A forbidden “lost world” to outsiders reported to be inhabited by strange beasts out of time. Legends speak of not one, but several bizarre and terrifying creatures that haunt the Ancient Plateau’s of the South American Wilderness. Today we are grateful to cover The Mysteries Of Kurupira - The hidden land of unknown creatures that inspired Conan Doyle’s Lost World - By Ben Tejada-Ingram. For Plus+, we wade through an insane theory on the world we live on… or IN. Cyrus Teed’s “The Cellular Cosmogony” proposes the idea that we live INSIDE a spherical universe, a self-contained, electromagnetic machine where meaning is inherent to the experience. Whether you buy his model or not, this book more importantly challenges you to question the status quo and the hard-baked narratives we’ve been given since birth.  Bookmark the link below for the new Inescapable Podcast coming in Mid-February.

  3. The Time Slip Experience

    6 FEB

    The Time Slip Experience

    This week, we take a look at Anthony Meyer's amazing work on time slips! From two biddies walking through a path with several different time periods involved, a disappearing hotel, & a particular street in Liverpool that seems to be a portal to the 1950's, these stories beg the question: Are these examples of time travel, collective hallucinations, or some kind of weaponized experiments? Join us & decide for yourself! Welcome to your Plus+ extension! For this one, we will be continuing to ask deep questions about one of the most third-rail topics that exists to get a NU-clear picture of the fear-based perception management campaign. Join us as we examine the threat of such a threat itself. Are we destined to destroy ourselves with these god-like super toys?  Is destroying ourselves even on the table as an option for humanity?

    Plasma Intelligence

    Bookmark the link below for the new Inescapable Podcast coming in Mid-February. Plus+ Members can now find the new feed on your Dashboard and add it to your preferred podcast player ahead of launch. This week on MU, we take a look at Robert Temple's book, A New Science of Heaven. Temple argues that not only is plasma ubiquitous throughout the cosmos, but it may just have an inherent intelligence. He encourages mainstream science to study this fourth state of matter in greater depth, not from a "supernatural" perspective but as a marriage of myth, science, & a newfound curiosity. Then in Plus+ we talk about a series of experiments by Gary Schwartz, who attempts to use the scientific method to investigate the claims of spirit mediums & psychics to determine if there's any validity to speaking to the dead. Is this genuine spirit communication, telepathy, or are these mediums tapping into the collective unconscious?  A New Science of Heaven: How the New Science of Plasma Physics Is Shedding Light on Spiritual Experience Lagrange point Article - Memories of the "Squatter Man" The Afterlife Experiments: Breakthrough Scientific Evidence of Life After Death The Best of Miss Cleo LinksPlus+ ExtensionThe extension of the show is EXCLUSIVE to Plus+ Members.

    The Short Season

    Check out the link below for the new Inescapable Podcast where Plus+ Members can go ahead and lock the feed into their favorite podcast player in preparation for their upcoming launch! Welcome back! On this week’s episode, we put on our theological hats and explore the rapidly increasing interest in the idea that not only has Jesus already returned, but that we are currently in the “little season” of Satan! This theory goes DEEP into speculation and subjective interpretation but a lot of the points made do make some sense, depending on your particular worldview. We also get into some philosophical waffling on the potential nature of reality, and the “simulator” idea which posits that your unique experience in life IS the matrix, not physical reality itself.  Then for your plus extension, we chat about the most important thing not being talked about when it comes to disclosure. Then we take a look at the always mysterious Cryptozoo-woo-woo: Freaky creatures that are not supposed to exist, yet somehow have produced scores of reports - legends in the flesh, myths in the real, terror in the soul, and bewilderment in the heart. Offering some observers an inexplicable opportunity to witness their bizarre behaviors, odd traits, out-of-time features, and in some cases, physical evidence.

    Close Encounters of the Texas Kind

    Thank you for joining us! Support your favorite show at the link below and catch this episode’s Plus+ Extension and access to all things Mysterious Universe. Michel Whittington has compiled an ode to such unexplainables in a book called “Close Encounters of the Texas Kind”. Its pages are the inspiration and contain the stories brought forth for this episode. From the first reported flying saucer, before Kenneth Arnold, to death from above, to the most bizarre series of encounters with an unexplainable technological wonder that remains a mystery which continues to amaze and delight to this day. Then for our Plus+ Extension, we piece together the story of the Gulf Breeze Six, a crazy story about six military intelligence analysts who went AWOL because of messages received during ouija board sessions. Their mission? To stop the impending arrival of the Antichrist! Were these the collective delusions of young, impressionable soldiers? Or was it yet another example of low level entities sending their victims on a wild goose chase?

    BRB...Dying - The Science of NDE's

    This week on MU we cover the great book by Dr. Jeffery Long, Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences. From a man collapsing in the ER and meeting God/Buddha/Jesus, to another that is electrocuted right out of his body, these stories are powerful examples of consciousness surviving the physical experience. Welcome to your Plus+ Extension! Smashing out of the holiday break and into another freaky story from Preston Dennett’s book,  “Inside UFOs - True accounts of contact.” Due to the story covered from this book on the last Plus+ episode with the story of Seaman Kevin and his, “out of this world” experiences, we still have more to say and another story on the topic of “Inside UFOs”. Adding more convulsion to the already deep mystery of this bizarre experience.

    Occult Louisiana

    Occult Louisiana is a documentary made in 2023 by film maker and all around great guy, Chris Mathieu of Forbidden Knowledge Productions. This film takes us exploring into the mysterious happenings in and around the swamps of Louisiana. Chris brings great presenters to speak on a variety of fascinating topics from hidden ancient history, voodoo, pirates, cryptids to modern conspiracies. Check the links for his website and how to watch Occult Louisiana, available on Tubi, Roku, and Apple TV. What will you be using to thwart the easily twartable Rougarou? Then for our Plus+ extension, we peruse the work of Oliver Sacks and the stories of strange neurological conditions, including a man who couldn’t see faces, another that had the short term memory of a goldfish, and a woman who couldn’t stand unless she was looking at herself! Are these isolated, exaggerated cases, or just another manifestation of perception being intricately linked to personal reality?
