The Wisdom Tradition | a philosophy podcast

In this episode, I read through an extended portion of the Conclusion essay that wraps my new book, The Coming World Nation. It reveals important new information about how our planet is now entering into a period of profound transformation, one heralded by the Summer Solstice sun intersecting the point on the zodiac interfacing with the "galactic anticenter". You can read the entire essay (including the parts that I don't go into here) if you get the book, which is now available on Amazon. PDF copies of the book are also available to paid subscribers of my Substack. You can find links to both at my website, www.alexsachon.com Send us a text

In my last episode, I shared an essay titled "The Kali Yuga Reaches Its Grand Finale", which I wrote as the introduction to my forthcoming new book "The Coming World Nation". As I was doing research for it, I came across the work of scholar Bibhu Dev Misra, who recently published a groundbreaking study of the Hindu Yuga system called "Yuga Shift".  In his book, Bibhu offers an innovative new approach to dating the timeline of the Yuga cycle and we discuss this in detail in a recent interview I conducted with him. In our chat, we focus in particular on dissecting the timeline and themes of the Kali Yuga, the "dark age" of the Yuga Cycle, which mankind has been trapped in for millennia but which Bibhu calculates is soon to be reaching its final end. For more on Bibhu's work, see his website: https://www.bibhudevmisra.com/To check out my essay on the topic, see: https://thewisdomtradition.substack.com Table of Contents00:00 - Introduction and BackgroundIntroduction to Bibhu Dev Misra and his journey from technology to ancient wisdom.05:00 - Understanding Yuga CyclesOverview of the Yuga cycles, different interpretations, and the significance of the Kali Yuga in various cultures.20:00 - Astronomical and Cultural AlignmentsAlignments of Yuga cycles with astronomical cycles and comparisons across cultural traditions.40:00 - Evidence of Lost CivilizationsDiscussion of ancient civilizations, the Younger Dryas impact, and cataclysmic resets in human history.1:00:00 - Materialism and the Kali Yuga's InfluenceHow the Kali Yuga influences materialism and spiritual decline in civilization.1:21:00 - Astrological Calculations and MidpointsInsights into astrological influences on Yuga cycles and the significance of historical midpoints.1:52:00 - Predictions for the End of the Kali YugaExamination of potential signs of the Kali Yuga's end, including comet impacts and global renewal.2:04:00 - Concluding Thoughts on Spiritual TransformationReflections on the importance of spiritual growth and personal transformation in times of global change.Send us a text

I'm excited to announce that my new book "The Coming World Nation" is only a few weeks away from publication! It's a re-edited and expanded version of the "Secret History of the 20th Century" series I published last year. I rewrote almost the entire thing and added three new chapters, updating its contents to present day. I'm happy to share with you today the introduction to the book, which is titled "The Kali Yuga Reaches Its Grand Finale". It discusses how the world is moving into the end phase of a 5,000+ year "dark age" subcycle (the Kali Yuga) and how, as a result, the archetypal themes of this dark age are expressing themselves in a particularly concentrated way today. The overall theme is one of death and rebirth, with the architecture of modern civilization deconstructing in anticipation of its eventual rebirth in a new globalized form. The written version of the introduction that I read out in this episode is shared on my Substack (thewisdomtradition.substack.com). In the first 25 minutes of this episode, before I delve into this introduction, I go over the book's table of contents  and overview the main ideas behind each of its sections and chapters.Introduction | The Kali Yuga Reaches Its Grand FinaleI.  The Origin of American Empire1.   How Capitalism Changed America2.   World War I: A Conspiracy of Interests3.   The Industrial Age and the Politics of Energy4.   The Great Depression and the Build-Up to WWIIII.  The Birth of the Technocratic Superstate5.   The Classified Science of Nikola Tesla6.   Technocracy: Government in the Scientific Age7.   The Hidden Agenda Behind World War II8.   An Empire of Secrecy9.   The Untold Story of the Nazi “Wonder Weapons”III.  The Transition to Global Government10.  The Cold War and the Petrodollar11.  The Shadow Economy and the Black Budget12.  The UFO: An Instrument of Social Engineering13.  The Return of the Mystery Schoolswww.alexsachon.comSend us a text

In today's episode I do an in-depth breakdown of a Manly P. Hall lecture I've had on my radar for a long time. It's called "Magnetic Fields of the Human Body" and it offers a wide-ranging introduction to the role that the electromagnetic field surrounding the human body - often called the "aura" - plays in human life. It offers the key not only to understanding human health, but also human psychology, as well as the mysteries of astrology and alchemy.The video version of this episode will be featured on my substack (thewisdomtradition.substack.com). Thanks for tuning in! And don't forget to check out my book on Manly P. Hall (available on Amazon). - AlexSend us a Text Message.

Finally, the long-delayed Q+A episode! I begin with an update of some recent stuff that's been going on with me and then delve into listener-submitted questions. Thank you to everyone who wrote in! Here's a list of the questions I tackle in order:1. SJ: I think the Holy Spirit represents the feminine. What say you?  2. John W.:Is it reasonable that we are witnessing the fall of the American Empire? Or better the fall of the cabal?3.Anthony S.:Can and will what we today call esoteric knowledge be divulged to the mainstream and general populace so as to become common knowledge, or will this kind of knowledge always attract and pertain to a smaller but perhaps more influential niche target audience?4.Katie:I've recently been drawn to read the Kybalion again; however, it feels like I'm reading a different book each time I go through it. I don't see any of your teachings posted about hermetic philosophy, and am wondering if you have thoughts or lessons on it. 5.Kelly:How does the advancement of AI, which has been rumored to be sentient, play into the future of our species? Are we in real trouble of a potential skynet situation?6.Chris:What is your interpretation, or that of Hall's if he addressed it, regarding why Pandora refrained from releasing hope from her box into the world?7.Conlan:What is the first question someone should ask themselves before going on the journey of exploring their consciousness?8.Kaity:Many of the esoteric philosophies refer to "the law" and I have a basic sort of level of understanding of what this means and represents, but I'd like to know if there's more info on this "law" anywhere that you know of that delves into specifics? Also, have you delved much into numerology as a study of people and their purpose according to Pythagoras' original concepts of numbers? Finally, jow has your own personal way of living and lifestyle been altered by studying esoteric philosophy?9.Lauren: I am confused by FDR occult/NWO influence. Do you think he was nefarious and working on behalf of the oligarchy? Also, why do you think Engdahl and other authors were not eliminated as a threat during their research? Seems like certain people disappear and others continue to proliferate information(Sorry for time reasons I couldn't get to your other questions)10.  Chris J.:How do you explain the extreme overrepresentation of Jews and dual citizenship Israelis within the United States Government? I agree that the United States has become a corporate oligarchy as you say so often but it still seems to me that there is something behind the scenes orchestrating much of what has occurred in the past two centuries.11.Antti:Hey Alex! I've been trying to fit the Antarctic treaty to the bigger political picture but can only formulate well rationed guesses.Do you have content discussing the theme or insight what is going on there? Send us a Text Message.

Today I'm excited to share my recent interview with Dr. Mark Bailey,  one of the leading intellects and voices in the anti-vax, anti-germ theory, anti-allopathic-medicine movement that has sprung up around the world with force since 2020.  This interview is oriented around a detailed discussion of the deep-rooted scientific corruption existing at the heart of modern medicine. The COVID "epidemic" is referenced as a case study.  Mark frequently works in tandem with his wife Sam (also a doctor). Together they run a Substack, YouTube, and Rumble channel, where they post very informative videos breaking down various topics pertaining to health, medicine, and disease. You can follow them here: https://drsambailey.substack.com/Mark and Sam recently published a book together called The Final Pandemic: An Anecdote to Medical Tyranny. They wrote it as an approachable introduction to the anti-germ theory viewpoint, breaking down  the various ways that the scientific method is violated and corrupted in order to justify the fictitious "germ theory" paradigm, which the entire business model of modern medicine is built off of. You can find a copy of their new book on Amazon.Thanks for listening!- Alexwww.alexsachon.com

Hey all,I plan on doing a Q+A episode on the podcast soon. Submit questions on my Substack in the comment section of my recent post about this or send them to me privately via the “Contact” section on my website (www.alexsachon.com).  I'll read out your name and the question and then I'll do my best to answer them!Blessings,Alexp.s. I'll probably record this in around a week so you have some time to get your questions in.

In this episode, I break down a classic Manly P. Hall lecture titled "Learning to Know the Dweller in the Flesh". It's all about understanding the philosophy of the Self (or Higher Self), how it relates to the physical personality, and what we can do to align with it. I start the episode off by reading a short essay I published a couple weeks ago on my Substack called "The Real You".  If you don't follow me there, you should: thewisdomtradition.substack.comThanks for tuning in!- Alex

In my newest podcast episode, I analyze a classic lecture from Manly P. Hall titled “Armageddon: The War that Ends in Peace.” The contents of this lecture fit right in with the theme of mankind's “Fight with the Shadow”, a topic we have explored often in the various books and articles I've published so far on my Substack. For example, my most recent article and podcast episode on the WHO is built entirely around this theme.Check out my Substack (thewisdomtradition.substack.com) for the written transcript of this episode, featuring both Hall's lecture and my commentary.Thanks for tuning in! - Alexwww.alexsachon.com 

In this unscripted episode I discuss a wide-range of topics centered around the theme that world events are indicating that mankind is being rapidly pulled toward an inevitable confrontation within the psychological force within himself that Carl Jung called the Shadow. The discussion starts with a look at the WHO's new Pandemic Preparedness Treaty and considers that how this looks like the "final solution" for the aspiring health dictators. Other sectors of society are experiencing similar motions toward the final stage of various interconnected nefarious plans, be they the collapse of the energy economy, the forced migration crisis and "clash of civilizations" scenario, the deconstruction of the industrial food system, and more. Towards the end of the episode I also give some updates on the channel and some new stuff that's been going on with me.Thanks for listening, - Alexwww.alexsachon.comthewisdomtradition.substack.com

In today's episode I'm sharing a recent interview I did with journalist Riley Waggaman, formerly of RT, who is based in Russia and writes critically of Russia's complicity in advancing the same technocratic Great Reset agenda that America and the EU - its supposed enemies - are also advancing. So while on one level China and Russia are the espoused enemies of the West, on another level they are all collaborating  to bring the world into a new paradigm of global technocratic governance. In this interview, we talk first about his perspective of the Ukraine War from inside Russia, and then we move on to talk about Russia's complicity in the Great Reset agenda. I was surprised to learn that not only is Russia on board with the vaxx mandates, CBDCs, and Digital ID systems, but they also have their own version of a forced migration crisis going on. Check out Riley's excellent Substack: https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/And mine: https://thewisdomtradition.substack.com/Also my website, where links to the podcast and YouTube can be found: www.alexsachon.comThank you,Alex Sachon

In today's episode, I'll be investigating what looks to be a key pillar of the ongoing Great Reset: the weaponization of illegal alien migrations into the US, UK, and EU. In particular, I'm going to examine the staggering number of migrants from all over the world streaming into the US from its Southern Border with Mexico - an operation that is clearly being run and orchestrated by a coalition between the Biden Administration, the Deep State, and the UN. In this episode, I share numerous clips from The Alex Jones Show where he talks about this engineered crisis. I find he's been one of the best sources for analysis on this issue (and as it turns out, this is a topic he has been on top of for over a decade). I also share and comment on clips from The Jimmy Dore Show, the Shawn Ryan Show,  and others.

Hey folks,About a week ago I had a long conversation with Anthony Hall, Professor Emeritus of Globalization Studies at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. He is an expert in the colonization of indigenous peoples and views the ongoing Israel-Palestine situation in that light. He is also a frequent contributor to the website globalresearch.ca, which is where I discovered his work. This interview follows up my recent article on 10/7 called "October 7th: The Fog Begins to Clear". Dr. Hall has several related articles on the topic that I recommend, which can be found on his Substack: https://anthonyjhall.substack.com/Thanks for listening, - Alexwww.alexsachon.com 

I wanted to offer some additional commentary on my recent article that takes an in-depth look at the October 7th attacks on Israel.  The article is the first in a series and in this commentary I relate the 10/7 attacks and Israel's response to them to some of the larger themes I'll be discussing in those later articles.Of particular interest is the idea that the Great Reset may herald a significant change in the relationship between the US and Israel.You can find the original article on my Substack. A touched-up transcript of this commentary is also available there. It's worth reading.thewisdomdtradition.substack.com- Alex Sachonwww.alexsachon.com 

In this episode, I revisit the events of the October 7th attack on Israel. The goal is to move beyond certain oversimplifications and mischaracterizations of the event that have become prominent. There is a lot more here than what first meets the eye.The article can be read on my Substack: thewisdomtradition.substack.comSections: 1. Others Were Involved with the 10/7 Attacks Besides Hamas2. Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad: Uneasy Allies3. The Strategic Objectives Behind Operation Al-Aqsa Flood4. The IDF's Counter-Response Killed Many Israeli Citizens5. Israeli Intelligence had Foreknowledge of the AttackThis article is the first in a series. Stay tuned for the rest. I should point out that in this article I revise some of my initial conceptions of the 10/7 attack, which I discussed in earlier episodes from late October.- Alexwww.alexsachon.com

I'm excited to announce that my book on Manly P. Hall is now available on Amazon in North America and Europe! (If that link doesn't work there's a link on my website: www.alexsachon.com.) The book is a re-edited and reformatted version of the original series released on my podcast and Substack last year. When I originally wrote it, I intended it to be a book and to be read, so I'm very happy that it's finally available in that form.In this podcast episode, I offer a summary and overview of the book, tell you what it's about, why I wrote it, and why I think Manly P. Hall is such a notable figure in modern world history.For a limited time, I'm offering a book-launch bundle featuring a signed copy of the book and a limited-release t-shirt. My plan is to ship these mid-December. It's available on my e-store: thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.com.Thank you for following and for your support so far. If you've been through the series already please leave a positive review on Amazon! That would really help attract a new audience to it. - Alex

In this episode, I interview UFO researcher Walter Bosley about the 19th-century origins of the UFO mystery. This is important, because when you move into this often-overlooked aspect of the story it becomes clear that secretive human groups and not aliens are behind the phenomenon.Walter's book "Origin: The 19th Century Emergence of the 20th Century Breakaway Civilizations" was a big influence on my own work on this topic, which I covered as part of my "The Secret History of the 20th Century" series (soon to be released as a book).Walter's website is http://walterbosley.comMine is http://alexsachon.comIf you're interested in the UFO topic, also check out my previous interview with Nick Cook!Intro beat: by my friend Ryan aka Otto Moss.

In this episode, I continue my Gaza coverage by commenting on Col. Douglas MacGregor's recent appearances on Redacted and Tucker Carlson, where he warns of the threat of large scale war should Israel continue its persecution of Gaza.  In this discussion, I sample several clips from these two appearances and analyze them in depth. I also comment on a clip from Bret Weinstein's "Dark Horse" podcast, where he discusses the problems with the official story of Hamas's October 7th terrorist attack. Website: www.alexsachon.comSubstack: thewisdomtradition.substack.com- Alex

In today's episode I'm joined by Franklin O'Kanu, author of the Unorthodoxy Substack, to discuss the current situation in the Middle East regarding Israel, Hamas, and the Gaza Strip. The discussion starts with a consideration of the immediate elements at play in  Hamas's original terrorist attack on Israel and Israel's subsequent carpet bombing and ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza.  Then we zoom out and I offer my take on the larger geopolitical circumstances going on behind the conflict and what it says about the shifting circumstances of US empire.This is a topic I plan on revisiting and probing further into in future episodes. For more background context, see my series on the "Secret History of the 20th Century", in particular the episodes/articles concerning oil geopolitics and the petrodollar.- Alex www.alexsachon.comthewisdomtradition.substack.com

In today's episode I'm sharing a recent interview I had with Nick Cook,  author of "The Hunt for Zero Point", an essential book in UFO research. In this conversation, we talk about the story of him coming to write the book, the existence of an invisible government within America possessing a hidden arsenal of advanced technologies,  the relationship of this secret government to the 19th century airship mysteries, the WWII-era Nazi black projects empire of Hans Kammler, and more.Much of what we discuss builds on ideas and themes I've been exploring in recent episodes of the podcast. I hope you enjoy the conversation, and thank you to Nick Cook for taking the time to chat. For more on his work, see his site: www.nickcook.worksMy site: www.alexsachon.com- Alex

In today's episode, we consider Manly P. Hall teachings about the UFO Mystery. Most scholars of UFOs, as well as most scholars of Hall's, overlook this material. Here, we take a deep dive into it, and see what the great American philosopher had to say about matter.Sections:- The Philosophy of the UFO: An Introduction - The Geopolitics of the UFO- The Psychology of the UFO- The UFO and the Aquarian Age- The Internal Exploration of Space- Space as the Gateway to the Spiritual Hierarchy- The Coming Space AgeSee my Substack for the written article: thewisdomtradition.substack.comMy website: www.alexsachon.comThank you, - Alex

In today's episode we continue our series on Manly P. Hall. Here, we investigate a series of writings his did in and around WWII that explain the larger metaphysical causes and purposes of war. This material also discusses the long-term motion of society towards an ultimate end-state that Plato envisioned thousands of years ago: the Philosophic Empire. Sections:- Novus Ordo Seclorum- The Eagle and the Phoenix- The Causes and Purposes of War- The Metaphysics of Human Evolution- Plato's Vision of the Philosophic Empire Restated- The Coming World NationRead the article: thewisdomtradition.substack.comMy website: www.alexsachon.comThank you, - Alex

In today's episode we kick off a new series on the life and essential teachings of Manly P. Hall, the great America philosopher, sage, and initiate of 20th century America. In particular, our focus in this series will be on Hall's teachings about the current state of the world, the role the Mystery Schools continue to play in it, and what is to come in the new age we are, in fits and starts, gradually moving into. In this first article of the series, I discuss Manly Hall's path to becoming an esoteric philosopher, and overview some of his early teachings on the inner structure of the Mystery Schools. I also discuss how these Schools fit into a larger spiritual concept of life. In the article's concluding section, I analyze Helena Blavatsky and her relationship with the "Mahatmas" - looking at the production of her magnum opus "The Secret Doctrine" as a case study to analyze the archetypal guru-disciple relationship that characterizes  the Mystery Schools.

Hey everyone - this episode concludes a three-part mini-series into the mysteries of America's secret government. Here, we examine the UFO issue and use it as a case study in order to further explore the hidden architecture of America's Deep State.Speakers cited in this video include: Walter Bosley, Nick Cook, Joseph P. Farrell, Beverly Rubik (via New Thinking Allowed w/ Jeffrey Mishlove), Annie Jacobsen, Steven Greer (via The Shawn Ryan Show), and Adam Trombly.To watch the video version: https://youtu.be/n75n1uBlCvsThe material presented here is based on a series of articles published on my Substack.

In this episode we continue our mini-series investigating the secret architecture of US empire. Here we look at the hidden realm of covert black projects being conducted within the inner recesses of the US national security state. How are these black projects managed and by whom? I argue that that a hidden scientific think tank is behind this black projects world. I call it the "technocratic superstate".  In this episode, we examine the concealed structure of this entity, while also considering how it works, what kind of projects it oversees, and why it came into formation.  Speakers referenced in this video include: Steven Greer, Catherine Austin Fitts, Joseph P. Farrell, Peter Dale Scott, and Richard Dolan.To watch the video version: https://youtu.be/SuAO_v6ESg4This episode is based around a series of articles I recently published on my Substack: http://thewisdomtradition.substack.com That article is part of a larger book project.

Hey everyone - in today's episode we begin the first in a three-part mini-series that investigates the inner power structure behind American Empire. What does the secret architecture of American Empire look like ? How it is organized? What are its major drives? How does it work?These vital questions are ones I previously investigated in a long, 11-part series titled "The Secret History of the 20th Century" that I recently published on my Substack.   Now, in this new mini-series, we will be going back over key arguments from that work, expanding and elaborating upon them in further detail. More specifically, in this series, I will be sharing and commenting upon various video clips sourced from a variety of authors and sources, including many I cited in my long written chapter. Sources cited in this video include: John Perkins, Catherine Austin Fitts, Chris Hedges, Zbigniew Brzeziński, Patrick Wood, and Noam Chomsky.To watch the video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/GxSYmOHgKHQMy website: http://www.alexsachon.com My Substack: http://thewisdomtradition.substack.com Thank you, - Alex

In today's episode we conclude our long, multi-part series on the secret history of the 20th century. In this presentation, I use the UFO Mystery as a means to tie together elements from this whole chapter. Ultimately, I argue that this phenomenon is a component of larger initiation effort being carried out by the Mystery Schools. The "alien" meme is a component of this larger operation, one carried out primarily through the "technocratic superstate", which is the outer institutional vehicle the Mystery Schools are currently working though.This is a totally original analysis of the UFO topic you won't see anywhere else.To find the written article: thewisdomtradition.substack.comMy website: www.alexsachon.comThank you to everyone who made it though the series! There are now two chapters left in this long book project called "Philosophy: Its Origin, Purpose, and Destiny". The next chapter will be called "Manly P. Hall: America's Philosopher in a Time of War".- Alex

In this episode we move into the conclusion of this long multi-part series on the secret history of the 20th century. I've broken this finale into two episodes, with a follow-up, Part 11, coming tomorrow. In this episode, we track the development of the "technocratic superstate" within America, which emerged as a consequence of America harvesting Nazi Germany's Kammlerstab program after the war. What resulted was the formation of a permanent black projects empire in America, one centered around a central think tank, just like the old Nazi S.S. program had been.Related to the existence of this technocratic superstate is a secret "black budget" economy, this being designed to funnel large quantities of funds into the black projects world. In this episode we also discuss the caste system, and revisit the theme of the "secret destiny of America", something we've discussed at numerous points over the course of the various articles and chapters that have comprised this larger book project on the history, purpose, and destiny of Philosophy.For the written article, see thewisdomtradition.substack.comMy website: www.alexsachon.com Thank you, and remember to check back tomorrow for the follow-up. - Alex

In today's episode I'm featuring a long-form conversation I recently had (on July 4th) with Peter Dawkins, the greatest living scholar on Francis Bacon and an excellent teacher on the wisdom tradition. In this episode, we talk about a vast array of topics in the field of esoteric philosophy, while also hearing about Peter's personal experiences with what he calls "Rosicrucian Consciousness".This is a great conversation, very much worth your time. Peter's site: www.peterdawkins.com I highly recommend checking out Peter's various books on Francis Bacon, as well as his lecture series.My site: www.alexsachon.comThank you, - Alexp.s. Part 10 of my chapter on the "secret history" of the 20th century will be out soon.

In this episode, we continue our series on the secret history of the 20th century by examining events taking place in the decades that followed the conclusion of WWII. The significance of this period comes not from the Cold War but from the onset of the "American Century" that was taking place behind it.The "American Century was the name that the elite think tank The Council on Foreign Relations gave to  their plans for a global economic empire controlled by the American nation security state.  These plans were formulated during the war years, announced in 1945 at the war's end, and swiftly implemented in the years and decades immediately following its conclusion: these being the same years when the Cold War was also at its peak. As it turns out, the Cold War was as a mask for America's imperial campaign: it was an engineered "forever war" designed to  justify the buildout of a permanent military-industrial complex. Concealed deeply within this compartmentalized behemoth, where secrecy and black projects abound, resides a secret think tank and R&D unit that is developing world-changing technologies of the nature few can imagine. The real purpose of the Cold War was to mask the creation of this secret scientific institution.This is the thesis I present in this episode.

In today's episode we delve deeper into the mysteries of World War II, investigating this time the secret weapons projects being conducted by the S.S. within Nazi Germany during the latter phases of the war. As we'll see, these black R&D projects included experiments into not only nuclear weapons, but also alchemy and flying saucers. In our analysis of this topic, we'll be factoring back into the equation our previous coverage of the deep levels of corporate collusion that were set up  before the war between American and Germany industry and finance. We'll also be factoring back in my theory of the Hidden Hand - in particular, its grand strategy to harvest the Nazi's secret wartime research projects back into the US, thereby transforming the culture of the US national security state in the process. This, I think, was the ultimate goal of the war.www.alexsachon.com- Alex

In this episode, we continue our series on the "secret history" of the 20th centuries by revisiting the thesis laid out in our previous article and expanding it further. This thesis concerns the idea that behind WWII was a "game behind the game", one that involved a long-term quest by an unknown secret society based in America to establish a world cartel system, behind and within which it would preserve its monopolistic hold on the classified paradigm of physics research based around the ancient alchemical concept of the luminiferous Ether.This article will be followed with a twin article, which will further develop this thesis, unpacking additional elements of this story, as it played out during World War II.www.alexsachon.comThank you,- Alex

In today's episode, build off the discussion we began previously with our episode on  Nikola Tesla, where we argued that a physics model based on Etheric Energy became classified during the early decades of the 20th century.  Here, we will pick up that story and  investigate the hidden role that this "classified science" played during the build-up to and unfoldment of the Second World War. Along the way, we discuss the background collusion that was going on between German and American financial and industrial cartels before and during the war. We also discuss the Bank of International Settlements, and the role the propaganda has played in shaping our perception of events.To find the written article this episode is based on, see my Substack:thewisdomtradition.substack.comthewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comwww.alexsachon.comThank you,- Alex

In today's rather epic episode, we pick back up with our series on the "secret history" of the 20th century and examine a new angle: the emergence of a secret science and technology research program in the 19th century based around an Ether-based model of physics. Nikola Tesla, toward the beginning of the 20th century, was developing technologies based on a similar approach. Today, we no longer hear about this lost science of Etheric physics, and Nikola Tesla's breakthrough inventions have vanished, never to be seen or replicated. In this episode, we explore what happened and why.This episode is important in terms of setting the stage for everything we will be covering in the future. It's a long one, but worthwhile.Thank you, - Alexwww.alexsachon.comthewisdomtradition.substack.comthewisdomtradition.bigcartel.com

In today's episode we continue our exploration of the "secret" history of the 20th century by investigating events taking place in the interwar decades of the 20s and 30s. We begin by looking at the causes behind the Great Depression, before moving on to examine an important power struggle taking place within the American Deep State between two competing factions: the Morgans and the Rockefellers.www.alexsachon.comthewisdomtradition.substack.comthewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comThank you,- Alex

In this episode we continue our series on the "secret history of the 20th century." Here, we examine the politics and economics of the industrial age and the energy industry it is dependent on. We'll also consider how the transition from the agrarian age to industrial age transformed the terrain of the ongoing battle in the West between democracy and oligarchy. Finally, we'll consider the necessity of petroleum to modern warfare and how this fact created the conditions for the rise of the Rockefeller dynasty within the American foreign policy establishment.To read the article:thewisdomtradition.substack.comMy website:www.alexsachon.comThank you,- Alex

In today's episode, we pick up the story we first started developing in Part 1 by investigating the formation of the Federal Reserve, America's central banking system. We also consider the circumstances surrounding World War I, and the larger game-behind-the-game taking place behind the scenes between the oligarchies of England, Germany, and America. JP Morgan plays a prominent role in the episode. Stay tuned to find out why, and what role he may have played in the foundation of the American Deep State.

In today's episode we begin a new series on "the secret history of the 20th century", a pivotal period in history that demands study if one wishes to understand current world events. This series forms the 8th and penultimate chapter in a larger book project, called "Philosophy: Its Origins, Purpose, and Destiny." Each chapter in this series is comprised of multiple articles, each featuring an accompanying podcast episode. The table of contents for the entire project, with links to everything, can be found on my website:www.alexsachon.comIn this article, and in future articles in this chapter, themes and topics we've initially introduced and explored in previous chapters come back into focus in a new way. One of these has to do with the concept of the "Shadow". Stay tuned to find out more.To find the written article, see my Substack:thewisdomtradition.substack.com- Alex

In today's episode, we conclude our multi-part series on the occult history of America by examining the circumstances surrounding the American Revolution. In particular, we focus in on the influence that one particular individual, Francis Bacon, had on the founding of this country.For more on this story, check out the "unofficial" documentary I cut together on the topic of Bacon and the beginnings of the United States: https://youtu.be/Ivdc0tTiB3IThank you to everyone who watched this series on America. Following this chapter will come a new series on the "secret history of the 20th century". Stay tuned.www.alexsachon.comthewisdomtradition.substack.comthewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comThank you, - Alex

In today's episode, we conclude a mini two-part series on the topic of the "Shadow" and how it relates to the development of Western Civilization. Here, we consider how the rise of capitalist oligarchies in Europe relates to the philosophical idea of the "Shadow". In particular, we look at the Venetian bankers and the Italian super-companies of the Middle Ages and consider how they symbolize the rise of a great collective Shadow Complex obtaining dominion over European consciousness. Democracy is the "Hero" who must fight and overcome this "Adversary" or "Shadow". Consequently, true democracy cannot be achieved until this capitalistic oligarchy is finally faced and overcome.www.alexsachon.comthewisdomtradition.substack.comthewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comThank you, - Alex

In today's episode we consider the philosophy and psychology  of the "Shadow", which appears to confront us as the manifestation of our own negative karma. This theme was not only explored by psychologist Carl Jung; it is also an important aspect of ancient religious myth.In today's episode, we'll explore what it means and how it applies to our understanding of "America's Secret Destiny".This episode is Part 1 of a 2-part mini-series on this topic of the Shadow; Part 2 will follow shortly.www.alexsachon.comthewisdomtradition.substack.comthewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comThank you, - Alex

In today's episode, we continue our series on America by investigating the story of the rise and fall of the Inca civilization of Peru. Things begin with a recap of the "Cycle of the Arya" thesis that I've been exploring throughout this year-long book project on Philosophy. Then, we zoom in and look at the Inca as a case study of this larger pattern. We finish with a discussion of the psychology of race, comparing and contrasting it with that of "the nation".As I argue, the democratic "nation" is inherently post-racial, as it is premised upon the mixing of races and the development of cooperative initiative. I explore this idea in detail in the article and in this podcast episode. Stay tuned!www.alexsachon.comthewisdomtradition.subtack.comthewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comThank you, - Alex

In today's episode we continue our series on the "deep" history of America by examining the theme of democracy, which has been experimented with here in the Western Hemisphere for thousands of years before the time of the American Revolution. In this episode, we explore how democracy existed not only during the golden age of the Maya, an idea we first introduced in Part 1, but also with the Iroquois tribe of North American Indians. Here, the sage and prophet Deganawida established the League of Five Nations, which emphasized democratic institutions here in North America one or two hundred years before the arrival of the European colonizers. Stay tuned for Part 3 of this series, which should be following soon. Website: www.alexsachon.comSubstack: thewisdomtradition.substack.comE-store: thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comThank you, - Alex

In today's episode we're kicking off a new series/chapter titled "America, Land of the Feathered Serpent". The overall theme of this series is to establish a timeline of civilization in the Americas, beginning with the prehistoric empire of Atlantis and moving down through the time of the American Revolution - an event that Francis Bacon, the protagonist of our previous chapter/series, played a big part in organizing from behind the scenes. The topic of the American Revolution is one that we will be revisiting in a later article in this series. For this initial article, we will be setting the stage for that later discussion by first examining the history of America from the largest perspective and greatest point of view. Here we will look at the transition of ages between Atlantis and the Arya and investigate how these changes affected the development of civilization in the Western Hemisphere . After first laying out the main ideas of an Atlantis-centered origin story for life in the Americas, we'll then zoom in and investigate the ancient empire of the Maya as a case study of our hypothesis.Stay tuned, this episode is a good one.- Alex Sachonwww.alexsachon.comthewisdomtradition.substack.comthewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comTo watch the unofficial documentary I cut together on the topic of Francis Bacon and the American Revolution, you can find it on YouTube here https://youtu.be/Ivdc0tTiB3I

In today's episode I analyze a classic Manly Hall lecture on the topic of Francis Bacon's utopian short story "New Atlantis". This episode serves as the "capstone" for a 6-part series I just finished on the topic of Francis Bacon and the Rosicrucian Brotherhood. For links to all the articles contained in that series, see my website (under the "publications" section).Show notes for this lecture  will be posted on my Substack.Thank you for listening and thank you to Manly Hall and Francis Bacon for revealing such wisdom to us.- Alexwww.alexsachon.comthewisdomtradition.substack.comI also have a Rosicrucian-themed hat and shirt on my estore:thewisdomtradition.substack.com
