Episode 131 - Uncle Mike's Rant: Unverified Personal Gnosis (UPG)
About this episode
Rev. Avende and Mike Bierschenk were traveling home from Trillium 2024, and started discussing that tried-and-true experiential lore: Unverified Personal Gnosis, or "UPG" for short. Mike's general point is that we should re-evaluate how we think about religious knowledge that individuals discover on their own. If we are going to suggest that talking to deities and spirits is normal, how do we deal with the information we receive when it comes to us? We talk about the pitfalls associated with those experiences, and how we manage to work through that in our communities.
This is the last episode from our previous hiatus (we think), so going forward, we're hoping to have some slightly more timely content to share :)
