·45 min·3 clips
He says Iran is being used to facilitate "phase two of the Great Reset."
1. The Wisdom Tradition episode centers on Alex Akin's interpretation of the Iran war as a catalyst for the Great Reset. 2. Alex Akin speaks as host and commentator, and he cites his Substack post "My Initial Assessment of the Iran War" as the basis for his reading. 3. His core question is whether the war is being used to trigger "phase two of the Great Reset" and a broader global reordering. 4. He opens with an Armageddon archetype, invoking Carl Jung's collective unconscious and saying archetypes act across the human field. 5. He names Zionist factions in Israel, Christian Zionist influence in the Trump administration, and Islamic expectations around the Mahdi and Isa. 6. He compares that end-times mood to COVID-era rhetoric about a global virus and elite saviors like Bill Gates. 7. He also says climate-change activism carries a similar apocalypse pattern through climate catastrophe and carbon-credit schemes. 8. Akin points listeners to his earlier breakdown of Manly P. Hall's lecture "Armageddon, the War that Ends in Peace." 9. He says archetypes cannot be controlled, but people can control their response to them. 10. He argues that leaders who see a period as Armageddon tend to go "all in" on final endgames. 11. He raises the possibility of nuclear weapons, water-salination attacks, and a humanitarian disaster in the Middle East. 12. He says the Strait of Hormuz could create an energy crisis for China and Asia if it were shut down. 13. He describes the war as part of a split between neoliberal and neoconservative branches of the American empire. 14. He says the petrodollar system is being subjected to a "controlled demolition" that would help launch a global economy. 15. He connects the conflict to the Great Reset, the Davos agenda, and his book The Coming World Nation. 16. He adds UFO disclosure and new energy science as a possible future piece of the transition away from petroleum. 17. The tone is analytical, speculative, and highly compressed, with long monologues and repeated thesis restatements. 18. The format is a solo episode organized as five numbered points rather than an interview or panel. 19. Listeners interested in geopolitics, esoteric philosophy, and global systems will get the most from it. 20. Listeners wanting tight evidence, minimal speculation, or no religious framing may skip it.
