April 04, 2024 21:00 - 1 hour - 77.7 MBToday 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.

MANLY P. HALL "Learning to Know the Dweller in the Flesh" | Lecture Analysis
March 14, 2024 15:00 - 1 hour - 63.8 MBIn 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.com Thanks for tuning in! - Alex
MANLY P. HALL "Armageddon: The War that Ends in Peace" | Lecture Analysis
February 07, 2024 22:00 - 1 hour - 55.9 MBIn 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 w...
World Events are Pushing Mankind Toward a Confrontation with the Shadow
January 26, 2024 06:00 - 1 hour - 45 MBIn 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 simila...
RILEY WAGGAMAN on Russia's Complicity in the Great Reset | Interview with Russia-based Journalist
January 10, 2024 18:00 - 59 minutes - 41.1 MBIn 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. I...

January 06, 2024 21:00 - 58 minutes - 40.6 MBIn 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.

PROF. ANTHONY HALL on the Geopolitics of Israel, Palestine, and Gaza | Interview
December 19, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour - 56 MBHey 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.

October 7th: The Fog Begins to Clear | Follow-Up Commentary
December 18, 2023 05:00 - 11 minutes - 8.28 MBI 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 ...

November 22, 2023 03:00 - 51 minutes - 35.2 MBIn 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 Cent...

July 25, 2023 20:00 - 36 minutes - 25 MBHey everyone - in today's episode we begin the first in a three-part mini-series that investigates the inner power structure behind American Empire.

49k. 20th Century (Part 11) | The UFO: a Symbol of Initiation
July 18, 2023 22:00 - 1 hour - 46.3 MBIn 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.

The "alien" meme is a component of this larger operation, one carried out primarily through the "technocratic superstate", which is the outer institutional vehic...

June 13, 2023 20:00 - 1 hour - 60 MBIn 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.

Along the way, we discuss the background collusion that was going on between German and American fina...
49e. 20th Century (Part 5) | The Classified Science of Nikola Tesla
May 26, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 79.5 MBIn 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...

May 02, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 54.8 MBIn 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".

This episode is Part 1 of a 2-part mini-series on this topic of the Shadow; Part 2 will follow shortl...

April 20, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 61.1 MBIn 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.

As I argue, the democratic "n...

April 17, 2023 21:00 - 48 minutes - 33.1 MBIn 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.
