In this episode we continue our exploration of Pythagorean philosophy and its study of Divine Number. Here, we concentrate on the relationship between the  Pythagorean numbers of the Triad (3), Tetrad (4), and Pentad (5) - also known as God the Father, God the Mother, and God the Child. This series on Pythagoras is based around a corresponding series of articles that you can find on my Substack. There are lots of visuals included there that you won't find in the audio version, so be sure to check it out.Video version available on YouTube.See my website for more info: www.alexsachon.com.Send us a text

*NOTE* Embarrassingly, I had originally uploaded the wrong episode (a Manly P. Hall lecture that was sharing desktop space with my intended audio file). The actual episode (42b) is now available. My sincere apologies for the confusion I'm sure this mistake caused. I'm very proud of this episode, I hope you enjoy.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In this episode we continue our exploration of Pythagorean philosophy and its study of Divine Number.

With today's episode, I'm excited to begin a new series on Pythagorean philosophy. This is Part One of a Five Part series, with the latter three parts soon to follow. These episodes will be based around the article series that I'm publishing on my Substack, with the first article that this current episode is based on already published there. For more, see my website.  There you can find a list of all the articles, with links, to the entire series of articles that I'm putting together which will together comprise 13 chapters of a book titled "Philosophy: Its Origins, Purpose, and Destiny."Thank you for listening. - AlexYoutube version also available.Send us a text

I'm very excited to be presenting the newest chapter in my ongoing series, which is actually a book I'm publishing serially titled "Philosophy: Its Origin, Purpose, and Destiny." This present chapter, the sixth overall is titled "Maitreya, the Buddha to Come." It features an in-depth exploration of the philosophy of the religious philosophy of Mahayana Buddhism, focusing particularly on its emanationist doctrine of Buddha manifesting itself, through mind, into a Divine Being or Divine Self (Vajrasattva in their language). As a result of the sheer volume of material we'll be covering on this topic, I decided to break its content into three parts. This is Part 1 of 3; the other 2 are available now.Make sure to check out the actual article for this one, as there are lots of visuals and charts. You can find it on my Substack (which is like a blog). The video version features visuals of the article alongside me on audio (see my YouTube via my site)Thank you, - AlexWebsite: www.alexsachon.comSend us a text

In this episode we will be furthering our study of Mahayana Buddhism by analyzing one of Manly Hall's many lectures on the topic, one called "Mahamaya, Mother of the Buddha". It goes back over some of the content we covered in the previous episode, while also introducing and exploring new aspects of the philosophy. I will shortly have a new article also on the topic of Mahayana Buddhism that further analyzes its philosophical teachings, with this article's particular focus being on Mahayana Buddhism's doctrine of spiritual cosmology and on its Messianic prophecy of the Buddha-to-Come, Maitreya.Video version (w/ lecture notes) on YouTube: see www.alexsachon.com for a link.Substack which hosts my articles: thewisdomtradition.substack.com My e-store: thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comThank you and God Bless, - AlexSend us a text

This episode continues  our series (which will eventually be a 10 chapter book), moving our story up through time from the Aryans to the Brahmans to the Buddhists to Buddhism's second birth in the form of Mahayana Buddhism. With the Mahayana School, Buddhism comes into full  maturity as a philosophical system. By investigating its core framework of teachings, there is much we can learn.Note: for those who sign up to get the emails of these articles, I often update the article after I first send the link out, so if you want the latest version of the article don't read the one in your Inbox but click on the link and read it from the site if you can.Cheers and God Bless, - Alexalexsachon.com (new "publications" section now up)thewisdomtradition.substack.com (subscribe)link to video version on YouTube via my siteSend us a text

In this episode we continue our investigation of the history, purpose, and destiny of philosophy by examining its connection to a great social reform project that first emerged out of the Atlantean priesthood. This sect of Atlantean reformists was termed "the Arya". At a remote point in history, waves of Aryan migrations proceeded out from a secluded homeland in the Himalayas to catalyze a transformation of postdiluvian civilization away from the habits of its Atlantean forebearers and toward the attainment of a new ideal: a "New Atlantis".The essay this episode is based on can be read at my Substack: http://thewisdomtradition.substack.comMy site: www.alexsachon.comInstagram: @thewisdomtraditionVideo version available on YouTube.

In this episode we continue in our ongoing series of investigations of the ancient institution of the Mystery Schools and its relationship to philosophy. In the previous article/episode of this series, we tracked philosophy's birth out of the Mystery Schools during the Axial Age. In this article, we backtrack from this critical period and look back at the origin of the Mystery Schools themselves, tracking their existence back to the lost antediluvian empire of Atlantis. In the articles that follow, we're going to return to the Axial Age to take a deeper look at a few lingering threads, and then in future episodes we're going to progress in time toward Francis Bacon and the birth of science.Thanks for tuning in! - Alexwebsite: www.alexachon.comSubstack: thewisdomtradition.substack.comestore: thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comIG: @thewisdomtraditionYouTube: see alexsachon.com for a linkSend us a text
