The Wisdom Tradition | a philosophy podcast

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/

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.

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).

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?

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!

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,

Alex

p.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.com

Thanks for tuning in!

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!

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, - Alex
