  • Alex Jones and ‘Structured Water’?

    I was really interested in hearing a more holistic approach to health, and was fairly frustrated with the ‘alternative health’ sphere for a while, which to me seemed to accidentally easily fell into conspiracy theories and marketing schemes. I was hoping that a balanced orthodox approach would walk the Royal middle path, but after listening to the first 20 or so episodes, it seems this podcast is closer to any other podcast in the alt health sphere - even going so far as to promote a proven mark... more

  • From terrain theory to theosophy

    Interesting, but not a thorough enough look. Germ theory is not proven, despite our beyond corrupt Rockefeller-pharmaceutical-transhumanist PTBs acting as if it is. Add to that their constant fear narrativies and contagion brainwashing. Additionally uncorrupted, repeatable, real-world experiments seem to prove otherwise. Finally, Gnostic new agers glomming on to terrain theory doesn't make it untrue either.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Making the Gym an Idol? Training & Orthodox Fasting | Sdn Michael Cassell, CSCS
Q: Can max-effort training be maintained during fasts without risking burnout?
Yes, but with caution: reduce frequency, monitor sleep and appetite, and use methods like Metzger/Conjugate with careful nervous-system loading to avoid overtraining.
Making the Gym an Idol? Training & Orthodox Fasting | Sdn Michael Cassell, CSCS
Q: How should workouts be adapted during longer fasting periods like the Dormition Fast?
Focus on preserving strength and managing volume and frequency; strength can remain the foundation, but total workload should be scaled back to allow recovery and time for prayer, while still maintaining movement and technique.
False Healing Exposed: New Age, Trauma & Christ with Anastasia Gerali (The Reborn Anastasia)
Q: What was your entry point into New Age healing, and how did it impact you?
I entered through manifestation and the lure of positive thinking after a painful divorce, which led me deeper into trauma work and subconscious reprogramming before realizing it was not healing in Christ.
Sin Is Sickness: Trauma, Compulsion & Orthodox Healing with Fr. Hans Jacobse (St. Paisios Brotherhood)
Q: Can you share a story of healing that illustrates these principles?
A notable example is Irini, who experienced dramatic relief from chronic pain after prayers and St. Luke's intercession, demonstrating how embodied prayer, icon, and presence can bring physical as well as spiritual relief.
Sin Is Sickness: Trauma, Compulsion & Orthodox Healing with Fr. Hans Jacobse (St. Paisios Brotherhood)
Q: How do you see the relationship between body and soul in healing trauma?
Healing starts with the body and moves to the soul; memory resides in the cells and can be healed through the Word of God spoken into the body, which harmonizes the nervous system, emotions, and will.
