In today's episode we continue our series on Plato and the philosophy of government by investigating the themes associated with the Hindu concept of the Kali Yuga. The goal here is to relate these themes back to the various historical patterns we've been tracking in this series, including the rise of debt, empire, oligarchy, materialism, and secularism. As we'll see, these themes align not only with the "archetype of Atlantis", but also with the ancient Hindu teachings regarding the Kali Yuga.At the very end of this episode we explore the question of when the Kali Yuga is set to come to an end and whether that auspicious event might take place in the 21st century. I hope you'll stay tuned. And be sure to check back for the concluding article/episode in this series - on the topic of the "Philosophic Empire" -  which will be coming soon.Thank you, - Alexwebsite: www.alexsachon.comsubstack (for the written article) thewisdomtradition.substack.comestore: thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comSend us a text

In today's episode I break down a classic Manly P. Hall lecture on the topic of Atlantis. This lecture is originally titled "Atlantean Records in Greece and Egypt"; in my opinion, it is the single most informative document you can find anywhere on the topic of Atlantis.This episode is intended to pair with my previous episode, which analyzed a recent article of mine titled "Atlantis and the Archetype of Empire". For more on this topic, see also my 2021 publication "Atlantis and the Origins of Civilization".The YouTube version of this episode features my accompanying notes for each clip. These show notes will also be posted on my Substack.website: www.alexsachon.comSubstack: thewisdomtradition.substack.comestore: thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comYoutube Channel: "The Wisdom Tradition"Thank you, - AlexSend us a text

In today's episode, we continue our exploration of the life, times, and philosophy of Plato. Here, we examine various aspects of his teachings about Atlantis. In particular, we analyze the esoteric significance of this pre-diluvian civilization from a historical, psychological, and philosophical perspective. As usual, Manly P. Hall's writings are heavily emphasized, as are aspects of Carl Jung's psychology, including his notions of "archetypes", which he drew from Plato in formulating, and the "collective shadow", which, as we will be exploring, is heavily linked to Atlantis's fall into collapse.To find the written article this episode is based on, see my Substack:thewisdomtradition.substack.comFor more on Atlantis, see my 2021 publication "Atlantis and the Origins of Civilization", available at my e-store:thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comwebsite: www.alexsachon.com- Contains a link to Youtube for video and my Podcast for audioThank you,- AlexSend us a text

In today's episode we continue our series on the philosophy of Plato by examining his teachings concerning the World Soul and the philosophy of archetypes, which represent divine ideas or thoughts held within the Mind of God. As we will be exploring, each form in the universe exists as an extension of one of these archetypal thoughts. Of course, this includes man himself. In the latter part of this episode we will, as a "case study", be viewing mankind through the lens of archetypes, considering its origin and destiny in relation to this important philosophical idea.Overall, this is Part 3 in an overall 6-part series. Stay tuned for the rest, there's material in there you won't want to miss.To see the written article this episode is based on, see my Substack: thewisdomtradition.substack.comThank you, - Alexwww.alexsachon.comSend us a text

In today's episode we continue our series on Plato. Here, we begin by considering Greece politics, life, and culture in the time of Plato. In particular, we focus on the state religion of Greece and its network of Mystery Schools, which were organized under the religious philosophy of the Orphics. We then turn our attention to the life and teachings of Plato, an initiate of the Orphic Mysteries. From this point on, as we progress through the rest of the chapter (with four more articles/episodes to follow), we are going to be dissecting various aspects of Plato's philosophy. I hope you'll stay tuned.- Alexwebsite: www.alexsachon.comwritten version of this episode: thewisdomtradition.substack.comestore: thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comSend us a text
