SpectreVision Radio Live: Some Central Source: Artists Receiving Signals From Outside the Matrix
Summary
Across epochs and mediums, creators have described inspiration not as invention, but reception. Echoing paranormal researcher John Keel’s suggestion that the human brain functions like a receiver picking up signals from “some central source,” comedian/mystical philosopher Duncan Trussell and SpectreVision co-founder/paranormal experiencer Daniel Noah examine the question, is creativity is less about generating ideas and more about tuning in, and if consciousness is a channel rather than a container, who - or what – is broadcasting through us?
