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 the 19th century airship mysteries, the WWII-era Nazi black projects empire of Hans Kammler, and more.Much of what we discuss builds on ideas and themes I've been exploring in recent episodes of the podcast. I hope you enjoy the conversation, and thank you to Nick Cook for taking the time to chat. For more on his work, see his site: www.nickcook.worksMy site: www.alexsachon.com- AlexSend us a text

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.

In today's episode we kick off a new series on the life and essential teachings of Manly P. Hall, the great America philosopher, sage, and initiate of 20th century America. In particular, our focus in this series will be on Hall's teachings about the current state of the world, the role the Mystery Schools continue to play in it, and what is to come in the new age we are, in fits and starts, gradually moving into. In this first article of the series, I discuss Manly Hall's path to becoming an esoteric philosopher, and overview some of his early teachings on the inner structure of the Mystery Schools. I also discuss how these Schools fit into a larger spiritual concept of life. In the article's concluding section, I analyze Helena Blavatsky and her relationship with the "Mahatmas" - looking at the production of her magnum opus "The Secret Doctrine" as a case study to analyze the archetypal guru-disciple relationship that characterizes  the Mystery Schools.

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 superstate".  In this episode, we examine the concealed structure of this entity, while also considering how it works, what kind of projects it oversees, and why it came into formation.  Speakers referenced in this video include: Steven Greer, Catherine Austin Fitts, Joseph P. Farrell, Peter Dale Scott, and Richard Dolan.To watch the video version: https://youtu.be/SuAO_v6ESg4This episode is based around a series of articles I recently published on my Substack: http://thewisdomtradition.substack.com That article is part of a larger book project.

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 of the 20th Century" that I recently published on my Substack.   Now, in this new mini-series, we will be going back over key arguments from that work, expanding and elaborating upon them in further detail. More specifically, in this series, I will be sharing and commenting upon various video clips sourced from a variety of authors and sources, including many I cited in my long written chapter. Sources cited in this video include: John Perkins, Catherine Austin Fitts, Chris Hedges, Zbigniew Brzeziński, Patrick Wood, and Noam Chomsky.To watch the video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/GxSYmOHgKHQMy website: http://www.alexsachon.com My Substack: http://thewisdomtradition.substack.com Thank you, - AlexSend us a text

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 operation, one carried out primarily through the "technocratic superstate", which is the outer institutional vehicle the Mystery Schools are currently working though.This is a totally original analysis of the UFO topic you won't see anywhere else.To find the written article: thewisdomtradition.substack.comMy website: www.alexsachon.comThank you to everyone who made it though the series! There are now two chapters left in this long book project called "Philosophy: Its Origin, Purpose, and Destiny". The next chapter will be called "Manly P. Hall: America's Philosopher in a Time of War".- AlexSend us a text

In this episode we move into the conclusion of this long multi-part series on the secret history of the 20th century. I've broken this finale into two episodes, with a follow-up, Part 11, coming tomorrow. In this episode, we track the development of the "technocratic superstate" within America, which emerged as a consequence of America harvesting Nazi Germany's Kammlerstab program after the war. What resulted was the formation of a permanent black projects empire in America, one centered around a central think tank, just like the old Nazi S.S. program had been.Related to the existence of this technocratic superstate is a secret "black budget" economy, this being designed to funnel large quantities of funds into the black projects world. In this episode we also discuss the caste system, and revisit the theme of the "secret destiny of America", something we've discussed at numerous points over the course of the various articles and chapters that have comprised this larger book project on the history, purpose, and destiny of Philosophy.For the written article, see thewisdomtradition.substack.comMy website: www.alexsachon.com Thank you, and remember to check back tomorrow for the follow-up. - AlexSend us a text
