"As Above, So Below," "Man was made in the Image of God," "Tat Vam Asi (That art Thou)." These great sayings form the core of spiritual philosophies the world over. In them lies the great secret of Spirituality, that the individual human being, and the divine, share a singular relationship of profound mystery. But while mysticism may be beautiful, faith without works is dead. The ultimate end of any religion is not merely belief, but an ethic, a code of behavior. And as individuals must have a code, how much so for nations? Every other Saturday, at 11 am Pacific, Join Elias Wilkin as he explores the intersection of politics, ethics and spirituality.

The Origins of Progressivism

The Tao of the Market
Episode in
Spiritual Politics

In fact, central planning--aka coercive control of individuals' activities--actually disturbs the Tao of the Market, and results, ultimately, in nothing but destruction.

Re-Defining Left and Right
Episode in
Spiritual Politics

01:03:36
Epistemology
Episode in
Spiritual Politics

The Case for Anarcho Capitalsim
Episode in

01:44:20
Gay Marriage
Episode in
Spiritual Politics

Ethics
Episode in
Spiritual Politics
In this Episode, Elias Wilkin recaps the Metaphysics established in the first two episodes, and then builds off this foundation to lay out a spiritual ethical philosophy, in which the ethical binary of "Good and Bad" is expanded into a hexa-polar system of Fortunate-Unfortunate; Good-Bad; and Spiritual-Evil. From this framework, a system of determining individual ethical obligations will emerge
01:04:24
