The Wisdom Tradition | a philosophy podcast

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...

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 "...

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...

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...

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...

In 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 le...

In 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. In particular, I'm going to examine the staggering number of migrants from all over the world streaming into the US from its Southern Border with Mexico - an operation that is clearly being run and orchestrated by...

Hey 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. He is an expert in the colonization of indigenous peoples and views the ongoing Israel-Palestine situation in that light. He is also a frequent contributor to the website globalresearch.ca , which is where I discovered his work. Th...

I 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...

In this episode, I revisit the events of the October 7th attack on Israel. The goal is to move beyond certain oversimplifications and mischaracterizations of the event that have become prominent. There is a lot more here than what first meets the eye. The article can be read on my Substack: thewisdomtradition.substack.com Sections: 1. Others Were Involved with the 10/7 Attacks Besides Hamas 2. Ham...

I'm excited to announce that my book on Manly P. Hall is now available on Amazon in North America and Europe! (If that link doesn't work there's a link on my website: www.alexsachon.com. ) The book is a re-edited and reformatted version of the original series released on my podcast and Substack last year. When I originally wrote it, I intended it to be a book and to be read, so I&ap...

In 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...

In this episode, I continue my Gaza coverage by commenting on Col. Douglas MacGregor's recent appearances on Redacted and Tucker Carlson, where he warns of the threat of large scale war should Israel continue its persecution of Gaza.    In this discussion, I sample several clips from these two appearances and analyze them in depth. I also comment on a clip from Bret Weinstein's "Dar...

NOTE: I have since updated and refined my perspective on these events.  In particular, I now I have better understanding of the October 7th attack and the various components of it. See my article/podcast called "October 7th: The Fog Begins to Clear" for more. In today's episode I'm joined by Franklin O'Kanu, author of the Unorthodoxy Substack , to discuss the current situa...

From now on, the Substack will host not only my full articles, but also the audio/video of my full read-throughs of them. Formerly, I was posting these on the podcast, but now I will be offering a detailed summary of the article instead. The full article and read-through will available throug...

In today's episode I'm sharing a recent interview I had with Nick Cook,  author of "The Hunt for Zero Point", an essential book in UFO research. In this conversation, we talk about the story of him coming to write the book, the existence of an invisible government within America possessing a hidden arsenal of advanced technologies,  the relationship of this secret government to...

In today's episode, we consider Manly P. Hall teachings about the UFO Mystery. Most scholars of UFOs, as well as most scholars of Hall's, overlook this material.

Sections: - The Philosophy of the UFO: An Introduction - The Geopolitics of the UFO - The Psychology of the UFO - The UFO an...

In today's episode we continue our series on Manly P. Hall. Here, we investigate a series of writings his did in and around WWII that explain the larger metaphysical causes and purposes of war. This material also discusses the long-term motion of society towards an ultimate end-state that Plato envisioned thousands of years ago: the Philosophic Empire. Sections: - Novus Ordo Seclorum - The Ea...

In this episode we continue our mini-series investigating the secret architecture of US empire. Here we look at the hidden realm of covert black projects being conducted within the inner recesses of the US national security state. How are these black projects managed and by whom? I argue that that a hidden scientific think tank is behind this black projects world. I call it the "technocratic...

Hey everyone - in today's episode we begin the first in a three-part mini-series that investigates the inner power structure behind American Empire. What does the secret architecture of American Empire look like ? How it is organized? What are its major drives? How does it work? These vital questions are ones I previously investigated in a long, 11-part series titled "The Secret History...

In 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. Ultimately, I argue that this phenomenon is a component of larger initiation effort being carried out by the Mystery Schools. The "alien" meme is a component of this larger opera...
