36.03 - MU Podcast - Visitors From Within - Extraterrestrial Encounters and Species Evolution - part 01
Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 36 episode 03! Today, we take a deep breath and entertain that which we have many a time maligned with a look at the work of Lyssa Royal and Keith Priest with their book, Visitors From Within. Though we are skeptical, that skepticism is harmonized with a keen awareness of the variety of freaky woo woo found around us, and the stone-cold fact that all sides of a story doth make’th a story, not just the one we emotionally prefer. In our Plus+ extension, we continue the wild stories from Jerome Clark’s 2000 book Extraordinary Encounters. From the bizarre case of a UFO-less Gray encounter at a motel, to mince pie stealing entities, and finally a well-known case of nude Venusians evading the camera, we wrangle the weirdest of tales for our elite Plus+ members!

36.02 - MU Podcast - Other Planets & the Universal Human
Welcome back to MU! In our continuation of Emanuel Swedenborg's works, he claims that for years he spoke with spirits from Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, the Moon, and even worlds beyond our solar system. We follow his incredible cosmic travelogue, exploring how each civilization lives, worships, and contributes its own unique role in what he called the "Universal Human"...his vision of a living, inhabited universe, unlike anything else written in the 18th century. Welcome to your Plus Extension and thank you for joining us on Plus+! Today we happen upon some freaky happenings on, in, and around the strange area of a ceremonial county in Northwest England known as Lancashire. The Woo Woo concentrated in the area was enough for Author Terrence W. Witaker to fill a book with. This charming 1980 release is populated with priest holes, stacks of murders and therefore stacks of ghosts, unscrupulous Boggarts and, of course, screaming skulls that come included with the purchase of your new manor.

36.01 - MU Podcast - Beyond and Back - The Christian's Guide to the Eternal Afterlife
Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 36 episode 01! Kicking this fresh new season off with a look at the uber-religious view of what happens after they die. Christians believe that death is not the end, but the beginning of an eternal existence based on faith in Jesus. The afterlife centers on the promise of a restored, perfect world-often described as a renewed Earth-where believers experience unhindered joy, total healing, and the continual presence of God. Today, we talk death, dying, and your right to die. That includes a 30-minute-in-heaven near-death trip to a crystal city in the sky to hang out with super Jesus. Only to be pulled back into your body by a death-rebuking reverend, who you asked to be there. Hold onto your belief systems as we talk “Beyond and Back”, with some near-death-experiencing , after-life visiting Christian’s. In our Plus+ extension we go into Walter Russell's The Secret of Light. Russell's classic workpresents a vision of reality where consciousness, not matter, is the foundation of the universe. We attempt to present his ideas about Light, balance, electricity, cycles, and the wave nature of creation, exploring a worldview that attempts to unite science, spirituality, and philosophy into one broad explanation of existence.

35.25 - MU Podcast - The Underground World
Welcome back to the final episode of Season 35! This week we dive into one of the strangest corners of UFO lore: the world of ancient tunnel systems, hidden civilizations, and secret cities beneath the Earth. From tunnels under Mt. Lassen, to military/alien underground facilities, and the legendary Rainbow City, we pull a few tales from Commander X's 1990 cult classic and explore a sprawling mythology that helped shape modern conspiracy culture. Welcome to your Plus Extension as we wrap up Season 35 with a bang! We have a lot to get to with our wrap-up on this sexy-ass, silly-ass topic. We have been exploring the claims, accounts, and fairly uncool sex-periences of some unsuspecting, unwilling, and irretrievably affected human individuals who have been brave or baffled enough to contact Budd Hopkins and allow him to offer us their experiences in vivid detail to better innerstand…something deep and profound, I’m sure. What that is will only be revealed by looking beyond the surface to what lies beneath. There is gold lying in wait in the wake of these murky waters that offers a peek behind the fourth wall that no one asked for.

35.24 - MU Podcast - (AI) - Artificial Insemination and the Human Zoo
What does one do when one finds oneself nose to absence of nose with those who claim they are on a mighty quest to save that which they themselves have admittingly destroyed? Fortuitously encountering you, along their journey for Sur-thrival and deemed lucky you scoop-up-able simply for being in their path. Like so much wildlife in some sort of unannounced breeding program that you remain ignorantly unaware of the role that you play concerning their “cosmic” visions for some grand design or even just a simple curiosity. Thank you for joining us as we ponder the peculiar puzzle that is the genetic interest and undertaking of the exceptionally icky. Is this Woo Woo just trying to get its Freak on? Or is this something much more disturbing? For our Plus+ extension, we cover Anita Moorjani's Dying to Be Me, one of the most remarkable and widely discussed near-death experience accounts of the modern era. We follow her journey from a multicultural upbringing in Hong Kong, through years of fear, people-pleasing, and a devastating battle with lymphoma, to the extraordinary experience she reported during a 2006 coma and the unexpected recovery that followed. Along the way, we explore identity, mortality, and the idea that sometimes the hardest thing in life is simply being yourself.

35.23 - MU Podcast - Reality.exe - The Simulation Hypothesis
In the back half of The Simulation Hypothesis, Rizwan Virk leaves the gaming and physics foundations behind and heads straight into the deep end: dreams, reincarnation, karma, synchronicity, near-death experiences, UFOs, AI consciousness, and the possibility that ancient mystics were describing the same reality modern technologists are now stumbling toward from the opposite direction. Along the way, he tries to connect Buddhism, Philip K. Dick, quantum mechanics, and modern computing into one giant framework where reality behaves less like dead matter and more like an interactive information system. Welcome to your Plus+ Extension and thank you for joining us on Plus+! Many a fine folk feel a sense of safety from the grasp of the paranormal under the bright lights of the populated pieces of this place we call home. The lights merely illuminating perhaps a false sense of protection against that which bumps in the neon night. Roy Stubblefield is out there setting the record straight about what lurks about after dark on the mean streets of these cities with his busty brush with the bizarre when he encountered a Dog”man” type creature leaving him in a wet mess of his own making.

35.22 - MU Podcast - UFO Reflections | Abductions
UFOs capture our attention like nothing else can as we hear stories of these flying wonders and contemplate their origins, missions, and purposes. Some captivate more than others, literally capturing unsuspecting citizens to be brought aboard these enigmas for more baffling experiences. Philip Mantle is an outstanding researcher, author, and firsthand witness to the world of the freaky woo-woo.His new book, “UFO Reflections,” boasts a wide variety of said “woo” and offers us all greater insights into this highly strange phenomenon. In our Plus+ extension, we visit an MIT computer scientist and game designer Rizwan Virk in his book The Simulation Hypothesis as he takes a swing at one of the wildest ideas floating around modern culture: what if reality itself is basically a massively multiplayer simulation? He tries to connect ancient mystical ideas with modern computational thinking. Whether he’s onto something profound or just brilliantly overthinking Zelda, this one opens up a ton of questions about consciousness, perception, and what this place actually is.
