Aaron takes some time to consider his own motivations for making digital media. 

Topics include: making online media, content creators, listenership and playing the numbers game, procuring guests, hard work of Chuck Ochelli, virtual worlds, internet space, augmented reality, tangible world, extremely online youth, finally recognizing dangers of technological progress, base desires fulfilled online, being part of the problem, human weaknesses, machine coming to life, personal life, making life easy

We are waging war upon ourselves to no end. Now more than ever, but the du jour divisive topics can take a back seat to the old standby of Science vs Religion. If the two sides of this argument took a moment to reflect, they might see that their supposed rival is a bit like they are. 

topics include: vacation holiday time, reading, divide and conquer, science, religion, astronomy, space, black holes, supermassive black holes, suns, occult religion, light and darkness, meditation

Aaron talks a bit about Michael A. Aquino, and his book MindWar. A self-published book that has surprisingly not garnered much attention, MindWar reads very much like your standard fare conspiracy oriented paperback.

topics include: Left-hand Path occultism, Church of Satan, Temple of Set, Stephen Flowers, propaganda, PSYOP, psychological operations, US Army, titles of nobility, mystique, General Paul E Vallely, QAnon, Fox News, mind, logic, consciousness, subconscious mind, electromagnetic fields, technetronics, fringe topics, conspiracy culture, JFK assassination, Iraq wars, Jose Delgado, Persinger's God Helmet, spectrum of light, hypnosis, magic, mentalism, flaming sword symbolism, original form of Tai Chi deadly, Civil Affairs, ParaPolitics, false flag terrorism

Aaron talks about his eczema. This condition has been a major frustration in the past Summer months. Dealing with health issues like these can be incredibly difficult, but important to do. 

topics include: atopic dermatitis, adult onset eczema, dry skin, intense itch, best lotions to use, finding triggers, food allergies, diet, gluten free diet, losing sleep, anxiety, stress, mental and physical health

Chapter 9 of Revolve: Man's Scientific Rise to Godhood is titled "A Worldwide Death and Rebirth Ritual". Upon the suggestion of a listener, Aaron explores the concepts presented in that chapter, here in this podcast episode. The basic premise is that the process of occult initiation can be multiplied to take place on a macrocosmic scale. Society at large can be initiated into New Life. 

topics include: Gnosticism, marriage contract, Chemical Marriage, Rosicrucianism, Royal Society, science, orthodox religion, evangelical reactionary thinking, consciousness, occult initiation, cults, secret societies, Left-Hand Path, Lucifer, hive mind, technology, alchemy, birth pangs quotes, Henry Kissinger, trans words, motion, time, vibration, mysticism, philosophy, compliance, dominant minority, commerce, intangible realm of mind, limited thinking

This bonus podcast episode gives you a look into Aaron's headspace at the end of this year, and moving forward with The Age of Transitions media project. It is good to be aware of the many pitfalls that surround us today, and to take advantage of unique new opportunties. 

topics include: podcasting, live streaming, independent media, fringe merging with mainstream, martial law, divide and conquer, American politics, changing political landscape, microtargeted influence campaigns, propaganda, virtual worlds, augmented reality, truth, motivation

Aaron continues reading from one of his notebooks that he used to write his book Revolve. Topics range from occult science to esoteric religion. According to Harvard Science Review, research into artificial wombs has been kept underground purposely, in order to avoid outrage from the public. The Book of Genesis is a deep religious alegory that is not disimilar to the Book of Tao. The topics of Transhumanism and propaganda are also covered in this episode. 

Chuck Ochelli rejoins The Age of Transitions bonus podcast stream. Here, he and Aaron retell some of their experiences being part of the "Truth Movement" that happened a decade in the past. Passing out DVDs, networking with like minds, and much more are explored in this light-hearted, but hard-hitting conversation. 

topics include: 9/11 Truth, eBay, the Obsolete Man, DVD copies of documentaries, truth groups, JFK, sharing information, meeting truther celebrities, no planers, Kevin Barrett, Jim Fetzer, Sophia Smallstorm, supportive partners, conspiracy theory, civil liberties, depression, Uncle (the podcast), average person

The first in what will be a series of podcasts on The Age of Transitions, primarily on Patreon. 

This is a completely unscripted and impromptu dialogue about what it is that we are all looking for. We all require meaning in our lives. So, how do we go about finding this meaning? Is it correct to follow the instruction booklet handed to us by society, or do we need to go about it another way? Aaron probably doesn't answer any of these questions, but he certainly explores them here with sincerity for what that is worth.

topics include: can you blame the world for your problems, existential crisis, sociology, psychology, soul, mind, consciousness, subconscious, programmed responses, inspiration, dreams, jobs, careers, American Dream, truth, objectivity, subjectivity, metaphysical aspects of life, dolphin intelligence, finding meaning in life, the Void, mysticism, formulaic thinking, depression, success, responsibility, enjoying misery, healthcare, caring for one another, medicine, profit motive, capitalism, music, art, living the dream, gainful employment, career cannot fulfill you, dream jobs, money, comfort, privilege, coworkers talking about their work, subsistence wages, value of human life, homelessness, limitation of the individual leads to making cheap excuses, unnecessary suffering, folly of technological utopia ideal, artificial intelligence, Aaron’s upbringing, socially induced sado masochism, contentment, reflecting on your accomplishments, life is good, seeing the good aspects of your job, gyms, value of physical activity, human interaction, conversation, self empowerment, rejecting a life of torture, fighting back, satisfaction of belief in the past, emotion, we all need both criticism and praise, do what you want to do, not censoring yourself, doing more with less

Here is the second installment of book notes on The Science of Life. You will get to enjoy all of the wonderful calls for a eugenic utopia from Julian Huxley and HG Wells. Aaron quotes directly from this little known book to help broaden your understanding of eugenics, the foundations of genetic science, and dark Social Darwinian philosophy.

topics include: health and disease, anti-vaccine movement of 1920s, social stratification, diet, sunlight, light, reproduction, ants, bees, neuters, hive mind, genetics, brain, selective breeding, biology, science, consciousness, objective and subjective reality, Monism, neurology, Behaviorism, Pavlov, association, instinct, reflex, electrical shock experiments, induction, hypnosis, education, language, dissociation, subconscious, hysteria, no true Teutonic or Aryan races, cymbolism, regression, stigmata, neurasthenia, Freud, Jung, intelligence, eugenics, peyote, privacy, religion, civilization, parapsychology, Modern Man, patriarchy, inbreeding royalty, tabu, agriculture, civilizing a native race, rigid tradition, going beyond nation state, collectivism, The Open Conspiracy, HG Wells, positive and negative eugenics, birth control, dominant minority, depopulation techniques, transhumanism, conquer nature

This is the first part in what will be at least a two part series of book notes on The Science of Life. This book was published in 1929 and authored by HG Wells, Julian Huxley and George Philip Wells. A massive 1500 page book on biological science which includes extensive promotion of eugenics and Social Darwinism. There is no shortage of esoteric significance as well. This book seems to have been missed, as there are few references to it to be found anywhere.

topics include: international banking, emerging technologies, trans humanism, communications, geopolitics, economics, new world order, esoteric religion, sacrifice, family, US decline, Japan, Asia, universities, Ai, nomadic life, technological unemployment, cameras, globalism

The latest Trans Resister Radio Bonus Podcast was recorded in a parking lot on Aaron's lunch break. The main topic is media production, and the many tricks that many choose to employ to get ahead. At least, that's what they think they are doing. 

Aaron reads from, and gives his commentary on, The Tao Te Ching. A wonderfully succinct epic exploration of the Mystery of all existence, the Tao is world famous for good reason. Here, the first five verses of the text are read, and compared to other creation myths from throughout time and across the world.

This month's Bonus Podcast is a book notes episode on Physical Control of the Mind by professor Jose Delgado. Delgado was the man who famously implanted electrodes in the brains of animals and humans. His bullfight with a bull that had electrodes implanted was televised in 1963. This book outlines some of his findings from his experiments, and a bit of his personal philosophy in pursuing the research in the first place. Aaron can't help but read occult meaning into the whole of this. 

topics include: electronic stimulation of the brain (ESB), Yale, science, occult, left-hand path occultism, mind, brain implants, animal testing, human testing, brainwashing, mind control, privacy, technology, history of brain implants, psychology, stimoceivers, brain-machine interface, computers

Aaron gives some of his ideas on left-hand path occultism as it relates to its opposite, right-hand path occultism. The Black Lodge vs the Great White Brotherhood. What are the core philosophical differences between the two? How do these occult factions effect the greater social structure which we all live within? Is transhumanism a left-hand path occult pursuit? 

topics include: Lords of the Left-Hand Path, Dr Stephen Edred Flowers, religion, mysticism, hidden truth, the devil, Prince of Darkness, Black Flame, Temple of Set, Church of Satan, Atheism, Anton LaVey, Michael Aquino, subjective vs objective reality, transcendental experience, history of human consciousness, magic, science, philosophy, Owen Barfield, original participation, confusion, right vs left wing politics, social issues, philosophy behind science, masses divided, Fall of Man in Genesis, duality of tree symbol, ego

In this special Bonus Podcast, Pearse Redmond and Aaron Franz sit down to talk about the 2010 documentary David Wants To Fly. Made by German filmmaker, David Sieveking, this film is excellent and works on many different levels. It is an excellent critique of the Transcendental Meditation "movement" as the film exposes TM for what it truly is, a cult. Pearse and Aaron give their insights primarily on this angle. Thank you to all of our Patrons, and we hope you enjoy this epsiode.

Aaron shares some of his thoughts on the psycho-social phenomenon known as the Midlife Crisis. From observations of daily life to occult implications, this episode covers a lot of ground.
