Pulling from figures like Aquinas and Hildegard, we explore whether these “beings” might actually point to forms of intelligence or organization we still don’t fully understand. Whether you buy it or not, it’s a solid look at how our vi...

Welcome back to MU! In this episode, we explore the idea that the timeline of history may not be as settled as we’ve been led to believe.

This week we dive into another work by Marcus Lowth, The Electric People. He documents the stories of "SLIders", or Street Light Interference experiencers.
