    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?

    Project Chameleo

    On this week’s episode of MU, we dive headfirst into the bizarre tale of Dion Fuller, a seemingly targeted individual. From invisible ninja midgets, to holographic overlays, to covert nanotechnology, this story has it all. Was Dion genuinely targeted and harassed or was this simply a case of drug psychosis? Tune and make up your own mind! The for our Plus+ members we shine light on the misconceptions surrounding the mind teasing observational phenomena that we have all had to decide was legit or not. Alicen Grey has decided to clear up the confusion surrounding this subjective phenomenon. Brandon and Joe discuss her book, “Synchronicities - All signs point to you”  for a deeper look at this bizarre interaction with reality. Do you believe that there are signs all around you, pointing you in the direction of your most blissful desires? Perhaps they point in the direction of your doom? Perhaps none of it means anything at all and folks simply make too much fuss over mere coincidences? As always dear friend, you decide.  Chameleo | Book LinksThe extension of the show is EXCLUSIVE to Plus+ Members. To join click ⁠HERE⁠.

    Tomb Raider

    A cache of looted relics, stolen bones, and vanished cultures sets the stage as we explore the astonishing true story of Don Miller, the Indiana retiree whose quiet suburban home concealed one of the largest illicit artifact collections in U.S. history. From the FBI’s painstaking recovery and repatriation efforts to the worldwide scramble over sacred objects, we trace how one man’s obsession spiraled into an international archaeological scandal. Then for our Plus+ members we crack open old issues of Psychic Australian to uncover tales of Nazi UFO experiments, Hitler’s alleged Antarctic escape, and the shadowy blueprints of a secret Fourth Reich, before shifting closer to home with eerie accounts of hauntings, strange lights, and ghostly encounters echoing through the misty streets and sandstone cliffs of Katoomba.
