About this listen

What if the next frontier of technology isn’t faster phones or smarter algorithms, but a synthesis with the sacred? From oracle traditions to large language models, from spirit boards to neural networks, technology has always mirrored our metaphysics. Can AI act as oracle, mirror, muse, even psychopomp? What happens when machines begin speaking in sacred symbols and mythic patterns? Mollie Adler (Back from the Borderline) will share insights from developing MOODS, her AI platform trained on esoteric and psychological frameworks, while Michael Phillip (Third Eye Drops) traces the historic entanglement between paranormal belief and technological innovation.
