February 27, 2021Doubting the Law of One, Part 5The fifth and final(?) installment in my series on the Law of One, which I conclude with yet another meditation on the incoherence of reincarnation and why I think that gives us further grounds to doubt the veracity of the so-called "Ra Material."...more53minPlay

February 20, 2021Doubting the Law of One, Part 2In this second installment of my series on the Law of One, I give further information on the story of the book's composition.

His views do not admit of easy summarization, so I invite those curious about him to check out his YouTube channel and website for themselves....more47minPlay

January 16, 2021Jesus' Divinity: Laying the GroundworkConsiderations of whether or not Jesus of Nazareth was/is divine inevitably depend on the frame from which one looks at the available evidence. In this episode, using first principles rather than faith, I try to motivate the case for seeing the core claims of Christianity as presumptively true....more58minPlay
