Episode 14
The last of ten episodes in which Miriam and I ramble conversationally around a mind map I made recently. The six topics we randomly selected (none directly touched on in this episode): "mystery", "(Aleister) Crowley", "lunar/solar consciousness", "Rome as self-replicating entity", "number mysticism", "vibrational frequencies".
Some relevant links:
