Conveersation Series #5 - Mike Wilkerson

The Winner Cast ·

2026/01/27

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 collective consciousness, the polarity of analog vs digital, how our past plays into our present as presented by his new book The Hacker Prince as well as some cautionary tales on psychedelic use. This was a

The Triality Of Loosh Harvesting

The Winner Cast ·

2026/01/23

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 of the machinations behind these systems run by a psychopathic elite, but I also add a word of caution in giving this very theory too much power as it can lead right back into the paradigm it aims to

An Economy Of Meaning

The Winner Cast ·

2026/01/14

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 on what this can mean for our own private communities moving forward and the potential role Qortal will have to play in it all.The Winner Cast is a reader-supported publication.

Ushering In A New Renaissance One Node At A Time

The Winner Cast ·

2026/01/13

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 referential biases as a coping mechanism for the general malaise of the human condition? Either way, there is personal experience involved and with that, collective experience as well. For me, I’d rather

Remembering Our Humanity Through Romantic Literature

The Winner Cast ·

2025/12/31

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.

Technological Automation As Governance

The Winner Cast ·

2025/12/30

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 organic life and elevated sensibilities still reigned supreme, my mind keeps wandering to the times we are in now and the complete technological transformation that has happened since those romantic times of

Zen And The Art Of Smart Phone Management

The Winner Cast ·

2025/12/21

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 story, I found it deeply entertaining and a fun philosophical read (but of course, I also think the same of Plato’s dialogues) and highly recommend it if you enjoy this sort of intellectually stimulating

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 after the trip. Learn more about the place we stayed in Belize here! Well worth the visit! They are planning a ‘Heal the Healer’ retreat in April for those practitioners who are looking for a little

The Winner Cast ·

2025/12/01

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:* the actual chance of apocalyptic collapse and our degrees of prepper mentality * private vs public as a core innerstanding of reality* community as the ultimate solution to possible societal collapse and

Finding The Christ Within

The Winner Cast ·

2025/11/24

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 know is for the best in the end because I have put faith in my inner Christ guidance system to lead me through it. Along with the unfaltering support of my wife and family, it was my practice of going to

Winner Cast Film Review: Eddington

The Winner Cast ·

2025/10/27

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 millennial writer/director, Ari Aster. Eddington was not what I expected which is a good thing. It’s a completely original creation from an auteur who still believes in cinema and is not afraid to create his own

The Divine Mysteries Of Holy Matrimony

2025/10/21

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 today than ever before so I share this with you today on a very overdue episode of The Winner Cast.The Winner Cast is a listener-supported publication.

6 Mentalities I'm Transmuting On My Path Of Awakening

The Winner Cast ·

2025/09/25

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 continually transmuting on my path towards a more awakened way of being. I have a feeling a lot of you will resonate with these as well!The Winner Cast is a listener-supported publication. To receive new posts

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’.

Shining Our Internal Light Out Into The World

The Winner Cast ·

2025/09/09

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 more effective and impactful for me, my family and our community at large.

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

The Winner Cast ·

2025/09/05

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 will ever truly encapsulate the feeling and experience I had with this awakening. In the end, I hope that this new take on my role here as a ‘content creator’ will be more rewarding for all and inspire

2025/08/07

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 core criticisms of Idealism from the framework of Bergson’s view of reality and then touch on non-dualism. Finally, we finish with a conversation between Walter Russell and Bergson. I hope this fun

2025/08/06

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 single philosopher or mystic has all the answers nor do I propose that I do but I do see the value in analyzing specific minds who were able to see into the reality field in exceptional ways and then

True Reality & Our Resonating Brain

The Winner Cast ·

2025/08/02

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 understanding why ‘the hard problem of consciousness’ (that David Chalmers proposed in 1995) can never be addressed by AI engineers or the current leading cognitive scientists. My aim here is to ground this
