In today’s episode we begin a six-part series that investigates the topic of astrology, which features me reading aloud and commenting upon a 6-chapter manuscript that Hall published in 1971 called The Philosophy of Astrology. This series follows the theme of our previous episodes in the “Monday P. Hall Mondays” series, which also considered the topic of astrology, viewing it from various angles. (Note: I’m now keeping a list of the Manly Hall Mondays episodes here). 

In this episode, we look at chapter one from Hall’s booklet, which is titled “Esoteric Astrology as a Philosophy Which Sets Forth Intellectual and Moral Relations.” Basically, it introduces the fundamentals of how esoteric philosophy approaches the subject of astrology.

In his teachings, Hall emphasizes Ptolemy’s geocentric mandala of the solar system as a visual metaphor of astrology’s core symbolism, with the image’s various components pertaining to the fundamental principles involved in (Western) astrological analysis. As we go through this chapter (and the series as a whole), keep this diagram handy as a reference tool. 

Note: This episode I am sharing openly on the podcast, but the rest of the episodes in this series will be part of my Manly Hall Mondays series for paid subscribers. Thanks for your support!

I’m happy to share with you my recent interview with Dr. Mark Skidmore, an economics professor at Michigan State University who worked with Catherine Austin Fitts to investigate industrial-scale fraud taking place within the books of two massive federal agencies: the Department of Defense and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. They discovered TRILLIONS of unaccounted transactions, suggesting not only massive fraud but, at this scale, most likely also the existence of a secret parallel financial system, which finances the buildout of a massive underground complex of black projects. 

Upon the publication of their research, the federal government responded by implementing a new accounting rule that now exempts federal agencies from disclosing sensitive financial transactions - a move that has rendered the US financial system completely non-transparent and unaccountable (and therefore, undemocratic)

Today I’m launching a new series called “Manly Hall Mondays”, which I plan to make a weekly series on my podcast/Substack over the next year.  In each episode, I’ll do a reading of an article or book chapter (or occasionally a breakdown of a recorded lecture) drawn from Manly Hall’s momentous corpus of teachings. 

This weekly series will be predominately hosted on my Substack (thewisdomtradition.substack.com) for paid subscribers ($7/mo), but one episode per month I will make available on my public-facing podcast. 

In the first episode I read-through an article of Hall’s on the subject of astrology, titled The Star Lore of Babylon. It covers the essentials of the philosophy of astrology and also provides an excellent introduction to the topic of Astro-Theology, which posits that the great religious myths and legends of world history are all based on astrological symbolism.

In today’s episode we conclude our read-through of Ch. 6 from my book The Coming World Nation, which is titled “Technocracy: Government in the Scientific Age.” The final two sections from the chapter we’ll be covering are called “Technocracy’s Hub-and-Spoke Model” and “The International Rules-Based Order.” The former discusses the idea that technocracy must be centered around a think tank governance structure, while the latter discusses how the IRBO has long served as a primary focal point of the technocratic revolution. 

Also, I’m launching a fundraiser/sale at my online store. Hats, Shirts, and Books are all on sale, plus a new shirt featuring psychologists Carl Jung and Stanislav Grof. Please consider buying something to support my work!

A few years ago I stitched together this unofficial documentary on Francis Bacon from a longer four-hour documentary that came out about 20 years ago. Many of you probably haven’t seen it so I thought I’d repost it. It discusses the secret aspects of Francis Bacon’s life, focusing in particular on his role in masterminding the American Revolution. Manly P. Hall is also discussed, with Peter Dawkins (a guest I’ve interviewed on the podcast) also featured. 

What’s interesting about the original documentary is that it features really good information and research, but it’s made from the perspective of someone (Christopher Pinto) invested in biblical Christianity, who views secret America’s history (as well as the entire subject of esoteric philosophy) with suspicion and ridicule. So when you watch this, you’ll notice an ominous mood to the material presented, as if it was representative of something dark and evil. I of course don’t view it as evil, which is why I re-edited a selection of footage from the documentary to feature only the aspect of its material that I think is solid. By taking out the original director’s editorializing, there’s actually a solid documentary here.

One day I hope to find the resources to make my own documentary on this topic. Until then, enjoy this unofficial presentation. And thank you to Christopher Pinto for making the original source footage.

In this episode, I continue my ongoing series on Technocracy, which is extracted from my recent book THE COMING WORLD NATION. 

The focus of today’s discussion is on comparing and contrasting capitalism with technocracy. In particular, I argue that capitalism and democracy are products of the pre-industrial and pre-scientific ages and thus require fundamental reforms before they can integrate science and technology optimally. The result of these reforms brings us to technocracy, which aims for a scientific, energy-based approach to resource allocation. 

Key topics in this discussion include: the inherent inefficiencies of current economic models; the inherent shortcomings of bureaucracies; how technocracy emerges as an innovation to both; and how the true vision for technocracy can’t be achieved until the classified science held within America’s black projects underworld is released.

In this episode of the Wisdom Tradition Podcast, I pick back up in my investigation into the emergence of technocracy and share a new excerpt from my book “The Coming World Nation,” which examines the issue from a new angle.

In the first reading from this chapter that I shared a couple months ago, I introduced the concept of technocracy and explored how my take on it differs from that of every other scholar and analyst in the field. In my view, there are two dimensions of the technocratic movement - an original legacy version that is highly advanced in its understanding of Energy and Space, and a secondary version that is comparatively primitive, as it is locked on the level of scientific materialism.

In Part 2 of this chapter, which I’m sharing today, I further unpack this idea, noting how technocracy has two distinct emergences: an original one that emerged in the late 19th-century (but which remains concealed), and a secondary one that emerged in the 1930s and which has evolved in time to eventually influence the rollout of the Great Reset in 2020.

The UFO mystery is the best indicator we have that the first (and older) technocratic institution exists. The modern technocratic ideas behind Great Reset are completely ignorant of the existence of the science and technology behind UFOs, suggesting that there is a concealed aspect of the technocratic revolution that has not yet surfaced or been formally integrated into the global technocratic transformations now taking place (such as the rise of digital currencies, robotics, AI, and digital ID systems). When it does surface, the power of the science and technologies it possesses will transform the trajectory of the “Great Reset” in profound ways.

Before we jump into this discussion in this episode, I provide some updated thoughts on the Charlie Kirk assassination and also introduce a new book on Manly P. Hall titled “10 Essential Lectures by Manly P. Hall: Abridged, Annotated, and with Commentary” (which is now available on Amazon; see my website www.alexsachon.com for the link).

One of the most important scientists of the past 50 years is a man that no one has heard of - Adam Trombly. He was a pioneering physicist and engineer who followed in the footsteps of Nikola Tesla and designed a successful "over-unity", "zero point energy" power generation device. If this technology would have been allowed to be released to the public, the entire global economy would have been radically transformed. But instead, his work was confiscated and his research shut down by an invisible power structure (one that I call the Technocratic Superstate in my recent book "The Coming World Nation") In today's episode, I break down a number of excerpts from a 4-hour interview that Trombly did about 15 years ago on Spectrum Radio, where he talks about his life, career, and experience in having the government shut down and confiscate a breakthrough energy device he invented, which could have solved the world's energy problems. The information that Trombly shares about his life story offers us valuable insight into the underground black projects apparatus that underlies that US military-industrial complex. It is very hard to get information about this highly-classified black project underworld, with Trombly providing us rare and important details about it through his series of encounters with it over the years.Table of Contents:00:00 Introduction to Adam Trombly09:11 Adam Trombly's Upbringing and Father's Mysterious Death21:42 Adolescence and Star Child Program31:31 Military Industrial Complex and Secret Physics41:57 John C.

I’m excited to announce that I just dropped a new book on Amazon! It’s called 10 Essential Lectures by Manly P. Hall: Abridged, Annotated, and with Commentary. 

In this collection, I have gathered 10 of my favorite lectures from MPH, condensed them, organized each into subsections, and refined their wording, while sprinkling in my own personal commentary along the way. Taken together, this collection represents the single best introduction to Manly Hall’s philosophical teachings now available on the market. I plan on making it the first in a series, so stayed tuned for more!
