The Wisdom Tradition | a philosophy podcast

In this episode, host Alex Sachon launches a new series on the topic of Technocracy, covering its origins, its growing influence in our economic and governance systems, and its potential as a replacement for capitalism. The material in this series is extracted from Chapter 6 of Alex's recent book "The Coming World Nation," which links the rise of technocracy with the motion toward global government and the pending revelation of a profound energy revolution. The episode also includes updates on upcoming projects, including a new nonprofit and new Manly P. Hall "Study Guide" series. The written article that this podcast is based on is available to read at thewisdomtradition.substack.com.

In this episode, host Alex Sachon critically examines key points made by US foreign policy expert John Mearsheimer in his recent interview with Tucker Carlson. This interview focuses partly on the current situation in Gaza and partly on the perplexing nature of the US-Israel relationship. While Alex appreciates Mearsheimer’s detailed historical analysis of Israel’s motivations for its policies toward Gaza and his deep knowledge of the U.S.-Israel "special relationship", he fundamentally disagrees with Mearsheimer’s nation-state-centric approach and his emphasis on ideology as the main driver of U.S. foreign policy. Instead, Alex argues that only by understanding the U.S. as a global empire—driven by control, centralization, and technological dominance—can we make sense of its actions in the Middle East. The discussion highlights both the strengths and limitations of Mearsheimer’s perspective, offering a broader framework for understanding current events.Table of Contents00:00 – Introduction: Framing the Debate03:32 – Clip 1: The U.S. Foreign Policy EstablishmentAlex critiques Mearsheimer’s focus on ideology and the nation-state, arguing for a broader model that distinguishes between America as a nation-state and as a global empire.04:34 – Clip 2: The U.S.-Israel RelationshipMearsheimer discusses the influence of the Israel lobby and U.S. military support. Alex agrees with the factual analysis at the nation-state level but insists the real driver is the empire’s need for control, not just lobbying or ideology.08:33 – Clip 3: The Two-State SolutionMearsheimer claims the U.S. wants peace and a two-state solution. Alex strongly disagrees, arguing that ongoing conflict serves U.S. imperial interests, especially regarding the petrodollar system.10:24 – Clip 4: The Greater Israel Project and Ethnic CleansingMearsheimer details the historical roots and current execution of the Greater Israel agenda. Alex praises this clarity but adds that the American Empire’s structure enables these dynamics.17:58 – Clip 5: Why Israel Wants GazaMearsheimer explains the strategic and ideological motivations for controlling Gaza and neighboring regions. Alex acknowledges the accuracy of the historical analysis and adds economic and geostrategic factors.22:57 – ConclusionAlex summarizes the need for a more dynamic model of American power to understand Middle East geopolitics and global events.Send us a text

In this episode, I read through an extended portion of the Conclusion essay that wraps my new book, The Coming World Nation. It reveals important new information about how our planet is now entering into a period of profound transformation, one heralded by the Summer Solstice sun intersecting the point on the zodiac interfacing with the "galactic anticenter". You can read the entire essay (including the parts that I don't go into here) if you get the book, which is now available on Amazon. PDF copies of the book are also available to paid subscribers of my Substack. You can find links to both at my website, www.alexsachon.com Send us a text

A new book is introduced, delving into global governance and its ties to the American Empire. The discussion includes the decline of traditional capitalism and emerging energy sources. Philosophical insights explore time cycles and humanity's evolutionary path, emphasizing the significance of Kali Yuga. The challenges of spiritual decline are connected to contemporary crises and the evolution of a technocratic deep state. Lastly, links between historical events, secret societies, and transformative global shifts unveil the complexities shaping tomorrow's world.

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/To check out my essay on the topic, see: https://thewisdomtradition.substack.com Table of Contents00:00 - Introduction and BackgroundIntroduction to Bibhu Dev Misra and his journey from technology to ancient wisdom.05:00 - Understanding Yuga CyclesOverview of the Yuga cycles, different interpretations, and the significance of the Kali Yuga in various cultures.20:00 - Astronomical and Cultural AlignmentsAlignments of Yuga cycles with astronomical cycles and comparisons across cultural traditions.40:00 - Evidence of Lost CivilizationsDiscussion of ancient civilizations, the Younger Dryas impact, and cataclysmic resets in human history.1:00:00 - Materialism and the Kali Yuga's InfluenceHow the Kali Yuga influences materialism and spiritual decline in civilization.1:21:00 - Astrological Calculations and MidpointsInsights into astrological influences on Yuga cycles and the significance of historical midpoints.1:52:00 - Predictions for the End of the Kali YugaExamination of potential signs of the Kali Yuga’s end, including comet impacts and global renewal.2:04:00 - Concluding Thoughts on Spiritual TransformationReflections on the importance of spiritual growth and personal transformation in times of global change.Send us a text

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). - AlexSend us a text

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? Send us a text

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!- Alexwww.alexsachon.comSend us a text
