33b. A Deeper Game Being Played | an unexpected endgame scenario
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

32. Manly P. Hall - America's Place in the Universal Plan | plus: USA's Pluto return discussion
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. Citations for the 3 articles I discuss:a) Turning Point: The United States' Pluto Return (2019) by Ray Grassehttps://www.astro.com/astrology/tma_article210208_e.htmb) The United States’ Pluto Return: The First Return Conjunction (Part 1 of 3) by Grace Cloydhttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/united-states-pluto-return-first-conjunction-part-1-3-grace-cloydc) The Pluto Return of the USA 2022-2024 by Tanaazhttps://foreverconscious.com/the-pluto-return-of-the-usa-2022-2024Send us a text

31. Manly P. Hall "I Beg to Differ with Darwinian Theory" | lecture analysis
This episode wraps up a multi-part series on my recent publication "Psychology: The Science of the Soul". Here, we hear from Manly P. Hall, who offers a comprehensive critique of the modern paradigm of "scientific materialism". He emphasizes the idea that secular science breeds a number of psychological and social ills. He notes that religion and science function as thesis-antithesis to each other: one focuses on the inner life, the other focuses on the outer world. Both need each other, and neither is complete without the influence of its counterpart. He also notes that philosophy is the agent intended to bind and synthesize these two together. Through philosophy, science can be re-ensouled with religion. Throughout this lecture, MPH utilizes the Darwinian theory of evolution as a case study in which to investigate the larger themes associated with the paradigm of scientific materialism.Thanks for listening!

30. Rediscovering the Sacred | Moving Beyond Scientific Materialism
In this episode, I overview the fourth and final chapter of my recent publication, "Psychology: The Science of the Soul". Here, I overview the main tenets of the paradigm of scientific materialism. I then compare and contrast this worldview with that of the "Cosmic Game" view held by depth psychology and ancient philosophy. Overall, I seek to put the current paradigm of secular science into a larger historical and spiritual context and argue that the current moment in time signifies a gradual "death" of this paradigm in order that a new paradigm can be born in which science is re-ensouled with religious and philosophic themes. This episode will be followed up with another episode in which I analyze Manly P. Hall's lecture "I Beg to Differ with Darwinian Theory", which touches on many of these same topics.Thanks for tuning in and for your support. - Alexwebsite: www.alexsachon.cominstagram: @thewisdomtraditione-store: www.thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comSend us a text

29b. The Astrology of the Pandemic, Lockdowns, & Great Reset | Pluto-Saturn, Jupiter-Saturn, + Jupiter-Pluto
In this episode, we continue our investigation of the link between depth psychology and astrology by investigating the astrological dynamics underlying current events. This serves as a case study to test out and verify the conclusions reached in our previous episode, which delved into the idea that the archetypes of the collective unconscious are correlated with the motion of the planets, as studied in the astrological systems of the ancient world. A large portion of this episode is focused on a case-study of the Pluto-Saturn alignment of 2020. This episode is one of my longer ones - I hope you stick with it because I lot of important information is presented, stuff you won't see anywhere else. Thanks for tuning in and for your support.This episode is part of a series of episodes which delves into the content of my recent publication "Psychology: The Science of the Soul", which is available exclusively in my e-store.E-store: www.thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comWebsite: www.alexsachon.comInstagram: @thewisdomtraditionSend us a text

29a. Depth Psychology and Astrology | Planets, Archetypes, + the Collective Unconscious
In this episode we delve into Ch. 3 of my recent publication "Psychology: the Science of the Soul", which explores the links between depth psychology and astrology. This exploration will be split into two parts: in this initial part, we'll go over the basic ideas involved with depth psychology's study of the archetypes of the collective unconscious and astrology's study of planetary transits in the horoscope of both individuals and the world as a whole. In Part 2, we will look at the planetary transits that took place in 2020 and investigate how they have "triggered" certain archetypes within the collective unconscious to become activated. My hypothesis is that the triggering of these archetypes is what is responsible for the "collective psychosis" and "mass formation" we have been seeing throughout the world.

28. Stanislav Grof "The Cosmic Game" | analyzing a classic lecture from the mystic psychologist
Today's episode follows up the previous episode, which introduced and outlined the core teachings of psychologist Stanislav Grof. In this episode, we'll be hearing directly from Dr. Grof himself: I have chopped up and sampled a lecture of his from the late-90s, where he overviews and outlines the core ideas, findings, and conclusions taken from his decades of research into non-ordinary and mystical states of consciousness. There is remarkable similarity between Grof's conclusions about the core realities of life and those reached by both Carl Jung and Manly P. Hall. I think you'll enjoy this episode! - Alexwww.alexsachon.comwww.thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comInstagram: @thewisdomtraditionSend us a text

27. Psychoanalyzing the Mystical Experience | An Introduction to Stanislav Grof
This episode continues in a series that investigates the contents of my new publication "Psychology: The Science of the Soul". Here we go into Ch. 2, which delves into the work of psychologist Stanislav Grof whose career was focused on the study of "non-ordinary states of consciousness." In particular, he focused on a special category of such states which he termed "Holotropic experiences" - these involve mystical and spiritual encounters with archetypal elements of the collective unconscious.

26b. Modern Man in Search of a Myth | ft. Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Manly P. Hall, + my commentary
This episode is part 2/2 and follows episode 26a. We again hear directly from Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell and also, this time, from Manly P. Hall. The objective is to give a psychoanalysis of modern society and to focus in on how we have become collectively neurotic as a result of living without a "modern myth". First we discuss the symptoms associated with the collective neurosis that plagues our secular scientific age before moving on to a discussion of the core factors of myth that we must consider as we are confronted with the need to establish a new mythos for ourselves. As part of this we'll be looking at a case study on the symbolism of UFOs and the question of extraterrestrial intelligence.This episode is part of a larger series that delves into the contents of my new publication - "Psychology: the Science of the Soul", which is available exclusively at my estore.
