The Wisdom Tradition | a philosophy podcast

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

Hey all, in this episode we look into my newest Substack article "The Birth of Philosophy". This is part of an ongoing series that investigates the history of the Mystery Schools and the role that philosophy, a creation of these Schools, is destined to play in the great reformation of human society that is to come. In time, I plan on bundling together the articles in this series into a publication. Material covered in this series in also covered in publication "Atlantis and the Origins of Civilization" which is available at my estore.

This episode builds off the previous episode, which investigated the Mystery School system of antiquity. Here we look at a lecture of Manly Hall that delves into the Mysteries further, looking at their priesthood, their philosophy, and the role that initiation played in their worldview. We also consider how philosophy first emerged out of the Mystery School traditions and how Alexandria became the birth place of several highly influential systems of philosophy during a critical period in human history.

Hey everyone, I just published my newest article on Substack! It's titled "The Mystery Schools and the Invisible Government: An examination of the arcane institution responsible for accelerating human evolution". In this episode, we will be delving into the contents of this important article, which outlines and overviews one of the fundamental topics of Esoteric Philosophy: the Mystery Schools, which existed at the heart of the great temples of the pre-Christian "pagan" age of human history. Here, I investigate the Mysteries and consider the ways it evolved and transformed after the transition of astrological ages between Aries and Pisces, which took place at the birth of Christian Church circa 300 AD. This transition signaled the final collapse of the old world order and the formal birth a new one. In this episode, I argue that the Mystery system was at the center of the events that took place before, during, and after this transition period.YouTube version: https://youtu.be/hBrv7RNjy3gwebsite: www.alexsachon.comInstagram: @thewisdomtraditionSubstack: thewisdomtradition.substack.comPodcast: "The Wisdom Tradition" (all platforms)E-Store: thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCncbvsTEGHBA7TS-Wmq_o1AThanks for listening, - AlexSend us a text

Hey everyone, in this episode we further unpack the implications of the Ukraine War in terms of how it interfaces with the Great Reset and other recent motions in geopolitics. In particular, we'll be looking the idea that perhaps an unexpected factor could enter the equation, one that has to do with the military's unexpected acknowledgment of the UFO phenomenon several years ago. How could this unknown factor enter into the trajectory of current events?This discussion will be rooted the exploration of several passages from my new article "The Ukraine War, the Great Reset, and America's Grand Strategy", which can be found on my Substack (thewisdomtradition.substack.com).For more context on the topics discussed here, check out my "documentary mixtapes" THE DEEP STATE and SECRET SPACE PROGRAM, the video versions of which can be found on my YouTube (link at my site).Website: www.alexsachon.comInstagram: @thewisdomtraditione-store: thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comSend us a text

This podcast explores the geopolitical dynamics behind the situation in Ukraine, including US-Russia relations, empire models, and American governing elite's grand strategy. It delves into the hidden core of the global extractive system, analyzes the regime change in Ukraine, and discusses the motivations behind the Ukraine-Russia war. The podcast also touches on the US-China relationship and the potential alignment between Russia and China.

Today's episode is inspired by USA's Pluto return, which many analysts in Western astrology have been discussing recently. I begin the episode by commenting on three recent articles on the significance of America's Pluto return. Around the 25 minute mark, I kick off my analysis of Manly Hall's lecture "How Hierarchy Communicates with Humans", which discusses the esoteric history and destiny of America at length.
