WakingWorld

Toby takes us on a dreamy story-time journey, delving into the fascinating life and, ultimately, death of John McAfee. He discusses blackmail islands in the Caribbean, Los Zetas occult connections, Voodoo, and links to intelligence assets: Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Jeffrey Epstein.

It's a hot Sunday afternoon and we're skimming through The Weekend Australian and The Saturday Telegraph to see how many more people have been antisemitic. On the way we discuss:Summer.A 'Birthday Week'.Darts.Yatala Pies.Snorting & stifled burps.…and a few other things found in the Aussie rags.That's it. Total bollocks.

Dale discusses the fascinating topic of Esoteric or Inner Christianity. It’s not a religious discussion per se, it’s uncovering the deeper more mystical interpretations of the Old & New Testament and how the true meaning refers to, amongst other things, psychological and emotional aspects of yourself. During the discussion, Dale shares practical rules on how to live so as to interact with the metaphysical force one may refer to as ‘God’, and how to live in alignment with the Universe.

The lackadaisical host of WakingWorld finally decides it’s time to upload the next thrilling instalment of ‘Is It News?’.Lame horses.AI software builds.2.4-litre-capacity gussets.The wanking prince.…and a few other things found in the online Express.No headlines this week—just a catch-up on the week that’s been, a few stories, a few observations and a general wander through whatever happens to come up.

Dale & Toby delve into the topic of creation myths, end times prophecies and dabble in some esoteric interpretations of religion. Amongst other things they cover the fascinating Zecharia Sitchin, The Emerald Tablets, and the Epic of Gilgamesh, and link some of the topics back to recent events in the Middle East.

Dale & Toby discuss the topic of religion with a particular focus on the Catholic Church, its origins, its internal sub-orders, its practices, its strange connections to Christianity and its even stranger links to the Nazis. This opens up the wider topic of religion and touches on the deeper, more esoteric, interpretations - that will form the basis of further discussion, in later episodes. 

WakingWorld host, Dale, returns to Is It News? after four weeks away — reinvigorated, refreshed and, for the first time, with a couple of out-dated papers that are never once referenced.Dead EVs.Horse riding.Picnics.Para-motors.Stifled burps.No headlines this week. No newspaper to complain about. Just a catch-up on the last four weeks, a few stories, a few observations and a general wander through whatever happens to come up.Is it news? Sort of. Not really. But we're back.

Toby picks up from last week's episode discussing MK Ultra and mind-control, including Satanic Ritual Abuse and it's links to the military and the entertainment industry. We also discuss the first-hand testimonies covering these topics from the likes of Cathy O'Brien and Fiona Barnett.

In this episode, Toby delves deep into Nazi links to the Occult, where it originated and how it has maintained a constant presence in military operations in recent history. We then get into part 1 of the fascinating topic around MK Ultra, what it is, where it originated, and how it is used in psychological warfare.

Toby picks up from where he left off in Episode #2 and covers The Fraternity of Saturn, The Typhonian OTO, Scientology, The Church of Satan, and The Temple of Set...including links to Marina Abramović, the British Royal Family, and a whole host of celebrity names.

Toby shares his knowledge on the Ordo Templi Orientis, an occult secret society and magical order. He provides a background and history of the organisation and takes us on a trip back to his first account of a public ritual as the precursor to his initiation into the order.

WakingWorld host, Dale, reviews the last edition ever of the UK International Express.Burnham.Scones.Clogs.Churchill.Asians.Another week of stories that demonstrate the remarkable breadth of what now qualifies as news.

This is a re-run of the very first episode of the WakingWorld podcast. In September 2023, shortly after meeting for the first time, Dale and Toby sat down to discuss Toby's first experiences with the occult, to introduce us to Aleister Crowley, and to set the scene for the basis of Season 1.The tragic events of 2025 may make this upload seem inappropriate to some. The purpose of resharing it, however, is to act as a warning to those that have considered inviting dark energies and entities into their lives.It was a fabulously informative catalogue of work. Sadly, the project ended in the worst possible way.

WakingWorld host, Dale, sets out to review this week's edition of The Australian.Instead...Rolling picnics.Software builds.Professional history.Yamal & Messi.The Ann Widdicombe murder.Electronic parking brakes.The newspaper eventually gets a look in... before being swiftly abandoned.

WakingWorld host, Dale, reviews this week’s UK International Express.Balding.Codpieces.David Beckham.A cancer drug.The Royals.Another week of essential reporting that somehow manages to move seamlessly between medical breakthroughs, royal intrigue, football icons, male vanity, and sixteenth-century crotch fashion.As always, the stories are real, the headlines are questionable, and the observations are unlikely to improve anyone’s standing with polite society.

WakingWorld host, Dale, reviews this week’s UK International Express.World Cup.Claude Code.King Fingers.Immigrants.Antisemitism.Another packed week of cutting-edge journalism from a nation apparently determined to explain everything, whilst understanding absolutely nothing.As always, the headlines are strange, the narratives are predictable, and the questions nobody wants asked remain the most interesting ones.

In the second part of Dale’s conversation with Matt Whiteley, the discussion becomes more robust as they compare and contrast their slightly opposing views on what it really means to be Christian. Together they explore the teachings of Christ, the influence of Paul on modern Christianity, and why so much emphasis appears to have shifted away from the direct words of Jesus himself.The conversation also examines the meaning of the “Narrow Gate” and the “Narrow Path” spoken of by Christ—the path that few supposedly find—and asks some difficult but important questions about faith, doctrine, and interpretation. Ultimately, Dale and Matt wrestle with a confronting idea: have the majority of Christians fundamentally misunderstood the message?

In this episode of WakingWorld, Dale is joined by Matt Whiteley—a man who quietly but consistently embodies what it means to live as a Christian. Not a traditional church minister, Matt has spent years sharing his understanding of the Word of God in churches and schools, even founding his own church on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Through his clothing brand, 'The Remnant Label', he also expresses his faith outwardly, bringing Christianity into everyday life.The conversation explores God, the Trinity, the Bible, and what it actually means to live in alignment with faith—not just speak about it. Matt shares how his personal connection with God shapes his actions, decisions, and identity, offering a grounded and practical perspective on Christianity in the modern world.

We join Dale on a rainy trip to the Gold Coast where he shares the story of his move to Australia, at latter part of the late 20th century.

WakingWorld host, Dale, runs through this week’s UK International Express. It’s a full paper. Plenty going on. Lots of content.The main takeaways from today's monologue include heavy gussets, Mandelson, and Chupa Chups. These are given proper attention, proper space, and treated with the respect and attention they deserve.Nothing of any real scale, nothing of any real weight. Just a paper that looks busy, reads busy… and somehow manages to say very little at all.

WakingWorld host, Dale, reviews this week’s Daily Telegraph. A recurring theme emerges around language, messaging, and who gets to define what is acceptable.There are calls to ban the phrase “globalise the intifada,” reportedly driven by a very small proportion of the population. At the same time, the paper gives prominence to international political theatre, with “King Jug Ears” hosted by US Congress and Donald Trump, delivering the familiar message that violence is not the answer.The combination of domestic debate over language and international moral positioning presents a clear contrast. Questions remain around proportional influence, consistency, and how narratives are prioritised and presented.

Following the recent purchase of a Rode Micro clip-on microphone, Dale takes us on a walk to a neighbouring abandoned house, with Zorro the Malinois.

WakingWorld host, Dale, reviews this week’s UK International Express. There is nothing to report.No major developments. No meaningful international coverage. No sense of urgency or relevance. Just a collection of minor stories, filler content, and surface-level reporting.In a week where global events continue to unfold, the absence of anything of substance is, in itself, the story.

WakingWorld host, Dale, reviews this week’s UK International Express.With barely anything going on globally, the International Express has filled its crap rag with articles about hot cross buns, citrus marmalade, and North Sea drilling. The absence of any major international developments, alongside the prominence of comparatively minor domestic and lifestyle stories, raises clear questions about editorial priorities and what is being presented to readers as important.

In this episode of WakingWorld Season 2, Dale is joined by renowned non-duality teacher Francis Lucille. Together, they explore the nature of consciousness, the deeper question of human purpose, and how one can access genuine peace amidst the constant noise of modern life.Francis shares his perspective on awareness, stillness, and the illusion of separation, offering a grounded yet profound framework for understanding reality beyond the mind. A calm, expansive conversation that invites listeners to look inward and reconnect with what truly is.

WakingWorld’s host, Dale, breaks down this week’s UK International Express—where, despite escalating global tensions, there is not a single mention of the war.Instead, the pages are filled with: Coverage around the Community Security Trust and related funding/security narratives  Royal family headlines and familiar distractions  Ongoing migrant-focused debate and domestic political noise

WakingWorld’s host, Dale, breaks down this week’s Daily Telegraph—where Australia appears to be flirting with a fuel issue…but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of room for Trump school-yard bully antics and royal absurdity.This week’s highlights include:  Concerns around Australia’s fuel supply and how fragile it really is   The latest round of “Trump"   And, of course, the return of the Wanking Prince — because priorities

In this episode of WakingWorld Season 2, Dale is joined by returning guest Wayne Sant of Zen Gorillas. Following on from their previous discussion around diet and what we put into the body, this conversation shifts to movement—specifically, returning to the way humans were designed to move. Wayne shares his philosophy on primal, non-linear, and fluid movement patterns that reflect how we actually use our bodies in everyday life. He explains how beginners can get started, the purpose behind this style of movement, and the profound impact it can have on health, wellbeing, comfort, and overall human potential. A practical and insightful episode for anyone looking to reconnect with their body in a more natural and effective way.

WakingWorld’s host, Dale, breaks down this week’s UK International Express—where, in a world edging toward major global conflict… there is absolutely ZERO mention of it.Instead:  The King proudly opens a new walking path in East Sussex   The Princess of Wales unable to cope with only personal servants  ...American hazelnuts

WakingWorld’s host, Dale, breaks down the latest from the UK’s International Express—and somehow, in a week where the world edges closer to a global conflict… there is not a single mention of Iran.Instead, we get:  Endless coverage of Peter Mandelson and ongoing political fallout   Wall-to-wall royal family distractions   And the usual collection of completely irrelevant, low-grade filler

WakingWorld’s host, Dale, rips through the week’s “news” from The Australian, The Daily Telegraph, and China Daily—so you don’t have to.Because this week:  The US and Israel are bombing Iran   The Strait of Hormuz is hanging by a thread   Oil markets are losing their mind   And Donald Trump is out here declaring victory… extending deadlines… and referencing talks that apparently never happened

In this episode of WakingWorld, Dale is joined by long-term WakingWorld community member Chester to explore the 12 Life Rules—a distilled set of principles drawn from the teachings of the Bible, including story, allegory, parable, and metaphor. The conversation unpacks how these rules, as presented through the teachings of Jesus, can serve as a practical guide to living in alignment with a higher purpose. Dale and Chester go beyond traditional interpretations, discussing the nature of God, how one connects with the divine, and the mystery and magic that can unfold through synchronicities and manifestation when these principles are truly embodied. A reflective and expansive discussion on scripture, consciousness, and the deeper patterns that shape reality.
