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

The Winner Cast ·

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

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 will not fail, and a fountain will not dry up. ~ AnonymousThe Winner Cast is a reader-supported publication.

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

Finding A Middle Path With Henri Bergson's...

The Winner Cast ·

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

Finding A Middle Path With Henri Bergson's...

The Winner Cast ·

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

The Challenge To AI

The Winner Cast ·

2025/07/29

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 is a pretty massive undertaking but thanks to the brilliant minds of many before me, I am merely putting together many of the pieces from their work to deliver these Substack casts in a (hopefully)

The Deplorables Of Scientism

The Winner Cast ·

2025/07/22

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 relevant than ever. As the Trump regime aims to obfuscate details around the ‘Epstein list’, those who have been following this for years already know the damage has been done. I believe we are now witnessing

Take Off Your Glasses And See!

2025/07/14

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 fixable through corrective lenses. But, as we have recently witnessed with blindfolded children reading as well as ‘miraculous’ instantaneous healing of oral cavities with our remineralizing tooth serum,

Qortal: Pioneering A New Internet

The Winner Cast ·

2025/07/10

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 created this walkthru/review video of it last night.If you have been a little hesitant in the past to try Qortal or simply frustrated when attempting to use it before, I think it is now finally time to give it a

Deep Into The Wilderness We Went!

The Winner Cast ·

2025/07/08

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 stomped on by human feet. Here on this Subcast I give a brief overview of our experience along with my philosophical reflections on what this sort of wild nature has to offer us in the modern age.

Exploring The Depths Of The Nuclear Weapons Hoax

2025/07/04

Happy Independence Day to all my folks here in the states! Today I celebrate free thinking as I dive into my promised Subcast 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, Shannon Rowan. As many of you witness the blowing up of fireworks tonight, just know that the very action creating those explosions is still the only action we know of to cause explosive bombs :) You can

Iran's Noble Heritage Of Freedom That Inspired...

The Winner Cast ·

2025/06/28

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 what we’ve been told in an attempt to layout a solution for the current Middle East problem. We didn’t have the time to get as deep as I would have liked so I decided to do a Substack cast on the topic here

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. Dawn is doing great work in this arena and is just a beautiful soul through and through. It was a great pleasure to have this free-flowing discussion with her!Towards the end we discuss her upcoming event in the UK called Illuminate & Elevate. I highly recommend making it out to this if you can!

When we choose to live in peace in our own life, peace will spread to the world.
