Vladimir Putin's claims about existential threats to Russia sparked an exploration into the nature of existence, leading to the surprising discovery of Anne Boleyn as possibly the first existentialist in history, four centuries before Jean-Paul Sartre. Existentialism offers a powerful alternative to propaganda as an operating system for both individuals and nations.

Alexei Navalny the last great existentialist said, "If they decide to kill me, it means that we are incredibly strong." Like Boleyn, he refused to surrender his conscience despite knowing the consequences. Both represented threats not because they endangered physical existence, but because they exposed the falsified accounts of reality upon which power depended. 

Join me in exploring how the courage to face reality without comfortable distortions might be our most rebellious act.

I made a study of Anne Boleyn using the Renaissance as a frame of reference. Anne was born around the same time Michelangelo started painting the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo put Renaissance Humanism on the map with his daring portrayal of God in human form. He was the Richard Dawkins of his day. The biologist in 2006 found God in the form of a spaceman and the God on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is a representation of the spaceman. 

Armed with Dawkins’ discovery Dan Barker in 2016 read the gospels one more time. This time the ex-missionary found a gospel within the gospels. He said Christ claimed to be the spaceman. As far as Barker was concerned the idea of Yahweh-Christ made Christ as improbable as Yahweh.

This podcast plays with gospels, history and science to vastly increase the probability of Yahweh-Christ.

Anne Boleyn threatened the feudal system where lords owned people as property. She posed an existential threat to Lord Thomas Cromwell and 27 other lords of England. Lord Cromwell seized control of the Church of England—an institution Anne herself helped establish—he systematically dismantled her reputation and branded her the Great Whore, an apocalyptic title from the Book of Revelation. This calculated character assassination worked for centuries.

In 1949 it finally became possible to restore Anne Boleyn’s good name. Fred Hoyle's introduction of the "Big Bang" metaphor in 1949 created public awareness of new cosmology. This podcast explores how the universe's potential contraction—the "Big Crunch"—opens doors to contemplating a universe that began with just one particle. This minimalist beginning suggests a universe where nothing existed outside of the single particle and its source. It is a moment in time just ahead of the hot dense primordial soup of matter found in the classic Big Bang metaphor. 

The Boleyn humanist theory proposes that far from being a lost particle in this universe made of particles the first particle localized in Jesus of Nazareth. It is an alternative universe and one in which there is no such thing as spirit.

Drawing on historical sources like Pliny, Lucian, Tacitus, and Josephus, we trace Anne's religious thinking back to early Christian humanism. When Anne said "Lord Jesus, receive my soul" at her execution, she wasn't speaking of a future resurrection but addressing Jesus "in real time"—a radical departure from medieval Catholic doctrine. Archbishop Thomas Cranmer recognized her religious significance when he declared, "She who has been the Queen of England upon earth will today become a Queen in heaven."

Anne Boleyn was a progressive who helped reshape England's religious landscape before being vilified as "the Great Whore" and executed in 1536. Her story continues to resonate across the centuries.

Delving into surprising historical evidence, we discover that early Christianity began not as a spiritual movement but as what Roman observers called a "political association." Christians originally worshipped Jesus as a man—not as a cosmic spirit. This humanist foundation was transformed by Paul, who rejected the historical "Christ after the flesh" and replaced him with a paradoxical spiritual entity. This shift from humanism to spirituality created the fundamental tension in Christian theology that persists today.

The podcast traces this intellectual journey through key philosophers, from Anaximander's fear of losing his identity after death (which led to the concept of the persistent soul) to Aristotle's rejection of spirit as part of the natural world. Renaissance figures like Michelangelo exemplified the return to humanism by depicting God in human form, challenging spiritual orthodoxy. Even modern scientists like Stephen Hawking and Georges Lemaître grappled with these ancient questions.

Join the conversation about how ancient ideas continue to shape our modern understanding of consciousness, spirituality, and what it means to be human.

This podcast is about the battle for the soul of England. Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn transformed England from a Catholic country to a Protestant one. Their relationship spanned fourteen years. For ten years they were inseparable. 

Following her execution on May 19, 1536, Anne was ex-communicated by the Church of England. People were no longer free to talk about Anne but not talking about Anne meant not talking about Henry because they had been as one. The historical gaps in Henry VIII's story aren't accidents but calculated omissions designed to control the narrative. Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn and the narrative fell into the hands of Thomas Cromwell and the English aristocracy. 28 lords and noblemen of England to be precise. 

It was not just Anne erased from history. With 14 years of Anne Boleyn’s life there was included 14 years of Henry VIII’s life which was deliberately expunged from historical records.

Every great story has hidden beginnings, and Shakespeare's rise from obscurity to literary immortality is no exception. In 1592, the Lord Chamberlain's Men were at a crossroads—financially stable but creatively paralyzed by fear of Elizabethan England's religious authorities. Enter William Shakespeare, a Catholic from Stratford-upon-Avon seeking fortune in London, initially hired merely as a stagehand among Oxford and Cambridge graduates.

What happened next transformed theatre forever. When colleagues jokingly nicknamed him "Spearshake," they unwittingly invoked Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom. 

Beyond the divine approval from Athena there was a war queen in need of divine help. Queen Elizabeth sought ways to restore her mother Anne Boleyn's erased legacy without directly challenging religious orthodoxy. Shakespeare—simultaneously spear, helmet, shield, and chariot of Athena—became the vessel through which dangerous stories could safely be told. When Shakespeare drank, friends claimed he channeled extraordinary creativity. Whether supernatural inspiration or creative collaboration with the University Wits, the result was revolutionary—art that subtly challenged the status quo while appearing to conform to it.

The popular American conception of Anne as a temptress completely misses the truth revealed by her daughter Elizabeth I. When Elizabeth became Queen, she commissioned a family tree honoring her mother as "the most gracious Princess Lady Anne." This wasn't mere sentiment—when Anne emerged internationally in 1526, it was as Princess Anne Boleyn. My book uses Elizabeth's perspective as a primary source to reconstruct the authentic story of this remarkable woman whose humanist philosophy, had it flourished, could have fundamentally changed America's founding principles and religious character. 

Anne Boleyn wasn't merely Henry VIII's second wife but history's greatest humanist—a philosopher who rejected spirit and the religions which come with it. Anne is the greatest because she was able to accommodate Jesus of Nazareth in a humanist scheme. Her concept of Jesus was not true to the Bible. Her Jesus was true to history. We do not know how far she got in her revision of the gospels but according to Elizabeth she completed the task before it was all destroyed, and she was erased. 

America came close to an alternative destiny with Anne Boleyn in a place of honour in her consciousness.
