35.20 - MU Podcast - Many Mini Mysteries - Making a big deal of the small stuff May 22, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 35 episode 20!
This realm boasts a massive amount of tiny happenings. Many Mini Mysteries can be found to surround you in every wee way within every micro moment of every diminutive day. Satisfying the appetite for the petite. We're talking about making a big deal out of the small stuff with a mini flying saucer invasion of tiny ray-gun-toting one-armed aliens appearing to children in Malaysia and more Mini Mysteries.

In our Plus+ extension, we dive into one of the strangest blind spots in human nature: the way intelligent people become trapped inside their own certainty. Using everything from scientific fraud and broken paradigms to toxic marriages, we explore how ego, ideology, and institutional momentum can distort reality itself. The deeper you get into it, the harder it becomes to tell where honest inquiry ends and psychological self-defense begins.

35.19 - MU Podcast - The Inner Signal May 15, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back! This week we continue from last week's extension with Colin Wilson's The Occult, and his interesting perspective on what these heightened states are, how they are achieved and maintained, as well as some notable characters associated with the topic. We also question why this area of research is so rife with charlatans and fakes? As always, make of this what you will, but Wilson really makes a great case for all of it.

Welcome to your Plus+ Extension, and thank you for joining us on Plus+! This is a weird, wild realm we have here, riddled with strange happenings in the sky. High strangeness is intimately interwoven with everyday-ness. Today, we examine a smattering of seemingly unconnected events, accounts, and perspectives of some of the most bizarre encounters by some day-to-day dwelling, normal folks just living out their lives and then, suddenly…Whammmy, they are visited by the freaky, and it woos them into further investigation.

35.18 - MU Podcast - From the Mundane to the Magnificent May 08, 2026

Show notes

On this episode we are continuing our mind-blowing adventure with Vera Stanley Alder’s “From the Mundane to the Magnificent”. Today, friends, we discover the inner workings of nature itself with a gander at the logistics of Fairyland before a view of human beings in various mental and emotional states as we gain greater insight into the “insane”.

For our Plus+ extension we begin Colin Wilson’s The Occult, exploring his argument that the real mystery isn’t ghosts or magic, it’s human consciousness itself. From primitive shamans to the bombastic Crowley types, we go over the idea that people have always brushed up against deeper layers of awareness, but just never quite learned how to control them. At its base, Wilson tries to argue that this is less about the supernatural and more about whether we’re living at a fraction of our actual potential.
