Episodes

  1. Sick Networks, Healthy Territory: From Diagnosis to the Sovereign Stack

    Last weekend, I was blessed to present at the annual GNM Weekend hosted by Dr. Melissa Sell & Natasha Nazerali. GNM stands for Germanic New Medicine (or Germanische Heilkunde in German) which is the system of medicine developed by the late Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer. GNM is really much more than a…

  2. AI Duality Meets Spirituality & the Terrain Way of Being - Interview w/ Steve Falconer

    I sat down with my good friend Steve Falconer (the voice of Spacebusters) recently for a two-hour conversation that covered a lot of ground — from the nature of AI and centralized surveillance, to analog DJing, to the esoteric underpinnings of the internet itself. But the core of what we talked...

  3. Epstein File Mania & Navigating The Waters Of Truth

    In this conversation, Mike shares his experiences from the recent BoatSmith whitewater festival, discusses the pervasive influence of conspiracy culture, particularly surrounding the Epstein case, and reflects on the role of media in shaping narratives. He emphasizes the importance of balance in...

  4. Maintaining Attentional Sovereignty To Stay Out Of Plato's Cave

    In this latest Winner Cast I jump off from my last discussion around ‘loosh harvesting’ by clarifying some terms to lay out a more integrated model on how our energy is harvested to optimize the automaticity loops of the current control system. I bring in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave as a great...

  5. Conveersation Series #5 - Mike Wilkerson

    It’s been too long but I am happy to finally release another Conveersation episode, this time with my good buddy, the bard of bio-geology himself, Mike Wilkerson aka Stellium7. In true conveersation form, we amble through a vast array of topics ranging from the role generations play in our...

  6. The Triality Of Loosh Harvesting

    In this Winner Cast, I explore an interesting breakdown of the archetypes and looping nature of the ‘control grid’ featured recently on the Hidden AmuraKa Youtube Channel. There’s a lot here that I think is very valuable for the discerning mind to reflect upon as it can help us see through a lot…

    more
  7. An Economy Of Meaning

    In this quick Winner Cast I break down the notion of developing an economy dedicated to meaning versus pure profit. Why would we want this and how can we achieve this? It’s a much bigger conversation than what I cover here but I hope to at least get the party started with a few appetizing tidbits...

  8. Ushering In A New Renaissance One Node At A Time

    Hey guys! I’m back with another Winner Cast espousing all sorts of ideas and solutions for what very well could be the current dark ages we are living in. Can a new Renaissance be birthed into existence to help walk us into a more beautiful society or is this just another day of over-thinking and...

  9. Remembering Our Humanity Through Romantic Literature

    Hey guys! After finishing Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre last night, I briefly reflect here on the importance of romantic literature in today’s climate, the role the past plays in the present and how culture may just be a psy-op. Enjoy! The Winner Cast is a reader-supported publication. To receive...

  10. Technological Automation As Governance

    This holiday season, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading Charlotte Brontë’s classic gothic novel, Jayne Eyre. The style and temperament of these English Victorian novels always seem to fit my winter moods better than any other sort of fiction out there and as I ruminate on times long-ago where…

    more
  11. Zen And The Art Of Smart Phone Management

    This morning, with a satisfied air of contentment that I too am on a similar path, I finished the classic book, Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig. I really enjoyed it and must say that for the most part, it still holds up. Part philosophical essay, part buddy road trip...

  12. Bugging Out To The Jungle, Winter Malaria & The A/C Apocalypse

    My latest Winner Cast recaps our trip to Belize, why we build community and who it’s for, my bout with ‘noseeums’ and other fun facts about jungle life. Most importantly, I discuss how I applied some practical terrain know-how to quicken my recovery from malaria-like symptoms I experience right...

  13. Community, Law & Self-Governance in The Face of "The Great Taking"

    On this episode of The Winner Cast, in my usual rambling manner, I touch on a TON of topics spurred on by my recent reading of David Rogers Webb’s global finance exposé, The Great Taking and by a unique experience I had today during our annual family Christmas tree hunt. Some topics covered are…

  14. The Truth Behind Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving Eve y’all! In this latest Winner Cast I breakdown the true history of our nation’s holiday, its relation to my own family line and how the true intention of gratitude transcends even the very worst commercial holiday ‘traditions’. Enjoy! BTW, I launched a new Telegram channel…

  15. Finding The Christ Within

    Hey guys! I’m excited to get back in the groove tonight with a new episode of The Winner Cast! As many of you know, I have been undergoing some deep challenges that have led to some massive shifts in my life including leaving Alfa Vedic. This has been a turbulent and tough experience but one I…

  16. Winner Cast Film Review: Eddington

    Last week, I asked the community here if you would be interested in a new series focused on films I find interesting for our current time and the response (especially on Telegram) was a resounding ‘Yes!’. So here we go, my first review is of a film that came out this Summer by acclaimed…

  17. The Divine Mysteries Of Holy Matrimony

    As my wife and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary a few weeks back with a rare romantic getaway, I had time to reflect on the sacred sacrament of marriage from a more integrated perspective than I believe I have ever had. This living allegory for the purpose of life rings more true to me...

  18. 6 Mentalities I'm Transmuting On My Path Of Awakening

    While the process of awakening here on the physical plane does not have a final destination, the adventure itself does make many stops along the way. On this Substack cast I discuss a bit about my journey and, taking a lot from Carl Jung’s notion of Individuation, cover the 6 mentalities I’m...

  19. Discerning From The Inside Out

    Hey fellow bright souls of humanity! I bring you another Substack cast around my continued journey within and some of my thoughts on how this relates to the current supposed climate of angst and fear ‘out there’. If therefore ye are intent upon wisdom a lamp will not be wanting and a shepherd…

    more
  20. Shining Our Internal Light Out Into The World

    As a quick follow-up to my last Substack cast, I just wanted to expand upon a few of these concepts around balancing the internal with the external and how I plan on moving forward with this approach. This isn’t an escape and it’s not a retreat but a more balanced approach that I hope will be far...

  21. I'm Back! And With A Whole New Balanced Perspective

    Hey guys! Apologies on the long radio silence. It was intentional. I had a pretty big ah-ha moment in August, realizing that since 2020 I was being driven by an impulse not in alignment with truly embodied living. I explain fully in this recording the best that I can but to be honest, no words…

  22. Finding A Middle Path With Henri Bergson's Metaphysics - Part 2

    Here is Part 2 of my exploration of Henri Bergson’s metaphysics and the role it can play in a return to a more grounded and qualitative science. I simulate a conversation between Bergson and the contemporary Analytic Idealist, Bernardo Kastrup as a way to highlight some of the differences and…

    more
  23. Finding A Middle Path With Henri Bergson's Metaphysics - Part 1

    As I continue to break down the fallacies of modern science and mainstream philosophy in general as grounds for dispelling any notion that AI could ever be truly sentient, I now dive deep into the metaphysics of philosopher, Henri Bergson. I want to make it clear here that I don’t believe any...

  24. True Reality & Our Resonating Brain

    In this continuation of my series breaking down the false claims of AI consciousness, I take from Stephen E. Robbins breakdown of ecological psychologist, J.J. Gibson’s work around invariance laws and perception of the outside world. According to Robbins, this is a crucial starting point for...

  25. The Challenge To AI

    Here is an introduction to my new series here on the challenge to AI and the philosophical reasoning behind my claim that AI will never be sentient or ‘conscious’ and the massive implications this has for us as organic, perceptual co-creative beings in this dynamic, interconnected reality. This…

  26. The Deplorables Of Scientism

    In this latest Substack cast, I summarize a fantastic bit of investigative reporting by Jasun Horsley in relation to “Epstein, the Edge Foundation, MIT Media Lab, TED Talks & the Biology Wizards Rewriting Global Culture”. Crazy to think this article came out over 5 years ago and is now more...

  27. Take Off Your Glasses And See!

    This is a powerful talk today because it puts into practical application everything I’ve been talking about here on this Subcast series, The Winner Cast. Many of you probably suffer from myopia, or blurred vision. Conventional optometrists say that this is an irreversible condition that is only...

  28. Qortal: Pioneering A New Internet

    Hey fellow freedom lovers! I’m happy to say that Qortal has come a long way the last year or so and I'm getting really excited about its potential to become the voluntaryist new internet we all truly need. I'm loving the new Qortal Hub interface and Qortal Go mobile extension so much that I…

  29. Deep Into The Wilderness We Went!

    / please click [ ↻ restack ] button, if you like the cast! /Yesterday we got back to ‘civilization’ after 3 days trekking deep into the Siskiyou Wilderness behind the Alfa Vedic farm. Talk about remote! Not a human was seen after we passed the initial campground as we traversed trails rarely...

  30. Exploring The Depths Of The Nuclear Weapons Hoax

    Happy Independence Day to all my folks here in the states! Today I celebrate free thinking as I dive into my promised Winner Cast on the fake nuke topic. Here I take from the book, Death Object by Akio Nakatani as well as bits from The Falsification of Science by John Hamer & friend and neighbor,...

  31. Iran's Noble Heritage Of Freedom That Inspired America's Founding Fathers

    Yesterday on Alfacast we had an excellent talk on the current Israel/Iran situation from a more religious & alchemical perspective. You can see the show here. In that, I had hoped to go deeper into the occulted Persian esoteric tradition and how it has influenced the West in degrees far beyond…

  32. Conveersation #4: Dawn Lester

    On this episode of Conveersations, my friend Dawn Lester and I explore a ton of topics ranging from the importance of the written novel to the broad implications of our investigations into consciousness.

    more
  34. Staying In Your Own Power

    When we choose to live in peace in our own life, peace will spread to the world. Part of that includes not consenting to violence through implied contract a la ‘voting’ for the next despot to wage war by the mark of your pen. Here’s to the greater awakening and the power we all have inside us. /...

    Just a quick ramble on the evolution of community in a world waking up! Are you ready for something completely new? Is that even possible? Can it hurt to try? The Winner Cast is a listener-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid…

  37. Conveersation #3: Steven Young

    On this latest episode of my Conveersation series, I chat with fellow DJ and alchemist, Steven Young on our mutual experience coming up as DJs, the festival evolution, the ‘fall’ of aesthetics in modern society and the use of AI as a tool for human creation. Also, to fix the record, I had a major...

  38. No, We Do Not Come From Apes! Part 2

    Here I continue to explore the many issues of the Darwinistic paradigm as we tackle modern Neo-Darwinism, genetics & the morphological determinism that runs it all. I take a recent Substack article from famed biologist, Rupert Sheldrake as means to fully explore this topic and break it down as…

    more
  39. No, We Do Not Come From Apes!

    One of the core foundations of modern scientism is the Theory of Evolution. It serves to frame the human condition as one of cold, machine-like existence with little to no creative intelligence behind it. It also serves to subvert the beauty of the sublime and deny the transcendent agency of the...

  40. Conversations of the Eternal #2: Gandhi & Malcolm X

    On this episode, I continue my Conversations of the Eternal series with 2 of the most famous revolutionaries of the 20th century. They discuss their philosophies around justice, race and the ideal society. To think that these two men are actually hanging out in another realm as we speak having…

    more
  41. The Alchemistic Letter

    Over 300 years ago this letter was allegedly sent out to certain acolytes interested in the alchemical arts. It essentially requested that the reader become a whistleblower of sorts to expose the secrets of the mystery schools that had been active in occulting and keeping hidden the sacred...

  42. Blindfolded Reading & Magic Rocks

    As mentioned in my recap of Confluence last week, I delve a bit deeper into a few of the mysteries that we witnessed at the event and do my best to explain what’s going on there. (I have to admit with that rock though that I truly have no idea!!) The Winner Cast is a reader-supported publication....

  43. Confluence '25 Recap!

    Wow wow wow. What an event Confluence was. I really have no words to express the emotions and feelings I have after participating in that magical gathering!

  44. It's All About Coherence!

    Hey fam! So excited to see a bunch of you at Confluence this week! Here’s a quick reminder about coherence as we navigate this realm in our daily lives.

  45. Conveersation #2: Eileen McKusick

    On this second episode of my new Conveersation series, where I entertain my favorite minds for a fun chinwag that can veer anywhere, I was blessed to chat with my dear friend, Eileen McKusick!

  46. Navigating The Collapse Of Wokism

    In this Subcast I break down the illogical fundamentals of the woke agenda as marketed on the liberal household lawn sign: “In this house we believe in…” and how it symbolizes the fallacious foundation of the collapsing empire of scientism. The Winner Cast is a reader-supported publication. To...

  47. Conversations of the Eternal #1: Plato & The Buddha

    As I continue my conversations series here on SubStack, I thought it would be a fun exercise to engage Chat GPT for a simulated discussion between these two legendary philosophical minds and traditions. This is my first attempt to use this technology and I will say I was pretty impressed with its...

  48. Esoteric Decentralized Health

    Hey terrain fam! Here is the recording from my talk last month at the Barbara O’Neill “Sustain Me” event in North Carolina. In this one, I tried to smash A LOT in a short amount of time and TBH, while I wasn’t thrilled on how I delivered these ideas (the perfectionist Virgo in me) as I flubbed a...

    Hey guys! Excited to share this first episode of my new Conversation Series podcast where I sit down with some of my favorite minds on the plane to have an open discussion on just about anything that comes up!
