Speaker 1 (00:06):
The hell. All right, Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. This
is David Patrick herey with Church of the Eternal Logos,
and today, guys, I have a massive announcement. I'm super
(00:27):
duper excited to kind of introduce you guys to my
newest and latest project, and that is Logos Academy. And
I'm gonna spend most of the stream today actually kind
of introducing to you guys going over what's all inside
and kind of this is essentially the next stage of
Church of the Eternal Logos. I know some of you guys,
(00:47):
I'm seeing people in the chat. Shout out to all
the Rags, Shout out to doctor Chrispy, Slowboy, Whiteboard, Keenan Beats,
Rip Mojo, John and on. I want to talk to
you guys about my newest project that I really began
after I finished the PhD that was in May. And
(01:08):
the question is how exactly do you monetize education, you know,
content creation and me doing long form content on various
educational topics. Is the audience loves it, the engagement, maybe
not as much as those things that are more drama oriented,
contentious things like that. And so I began to think
(01:32):
once I finished the PhD. How exactly am I going
to take this, you know, essentially over a decade of
my life trying to pursue this goal and actually monetize it,
make it something worthwhile and contribute back to the community.
And so this has led to me to create the
Logos Academy. And Logos Academy is essentially a holistic approach
(01:58):
to the formation of men, both theologically philosophically, understanding history,
understanding our contemporary culture, your fitness and your health, your
spiritual life, your prayer life, your church attendance, and your
career goals. Making money. How exactly are you going to
take whatever skill set or passion that you have and
monetize that, maybe build your own business. And so this
(02:20):
is really something that's been growing in my online You
guys know that I've had the website memberships and stuff
like that, I had the premium memberships, I had fitness memberships. Well,
I'm pretty much scratching all of that and building something
totally new, something that is specific for people that actually
want to be part of a deep community that's actually
(02:41):
focused on education and building each other. You go on
school dot Com and you basically see all these communities.
Some of them are telling you how you're going to
make fifty thousand dollars in a month. You know, you
got to pay one hundred dollars a month, and they'll
give you all the secrets. On social media, there's all
these manosphere, red pill communities on how to date, how
to pick up women. You know, you got a nagum.
(03:02):
You got to make sure you demonstrate high social value
and social status. This type of thing. And my community
is going to be something different. You know, Father Turbo
just launched his school community, which I was not aware of.
I was already trying to build mine before I was
aware of the synaxis to Sophia, and Father Moses actually
(03:22):
has created his own community over on school. Mine is
not focused on trying to tell you how to be
a monastic. It's not focused on just teaching you about
proper orientation with an orthodoxy. This is about a holistic
frame building and acquiring a true logos, perception and perspective
(03:47):
worldview on the world. And so I want to show
you guys, like what's all in the community and where
we're going to go because to me, what I want
to show you guys today is really how I can
take my passion, what is my passion? What is my
skill set? You know, I do these live streams, and
I'm going to continue to do the live streams, and
don't worry about that. Everything on Church with Eternal Logos
(04:08):
it's gonna stay the same. I am going to talk
to you guys about launching essentially new types of content
on my old YouTube channel that's now rebranded as Doctor
David Patrick Carrey. It used to be back in the
day for those who actually knew of who I was
before Church of the Eternal Logos used to be called
Fractal Universe, Yo, you n I V E R S C.
(04:29):
Meaning your universe like a fractal syllopsism, right that you're
inside your own universe. And so I've taken down all
that psychedelic content that channel, as I've told you guys before,
I mean, it was just about to break one hundred
thousand when I had already converted to Orthodoxy, and once
I was brought into the Church, just kind of felt
(04:50):
convicted about still making money off Terence mckinna, Timothy Leary,
Alan Watts, Robert Anton Wilson, that type of content. And
so that channel has essentially been dormant for really since
I've been doing church with the Eternal Logos and I've
been speaking with some people and shout out to John.
(05:10):
He's actually an orthodox sort of a marketing guru. He
knows who he is. I'm not gonna say his last name,
but John's been helping me and he's worked with people
sort of building these online online businesses and such. And
one of the things that you know, I've really wanted
(05:32):
to do is is take my skill set in regards
to research and education. This was the reason why I
wanted to get the PhD. Right. I tell you, guys,
I had this dream of you know, being a professor,
walking around campus with my tweet jacket, my briefcase telling
the students when my office hours are. And I gave
that dream up, uh for chures of the Eternal Logos.
(05:53):
And in fact, I was actually had a conversation with
an old friend yesterday from Berkeley that was going to
the GTU when I was going there, also a white, heterosexual,
conservative male, so we felt the same cultural and social
dynamics as you can imagine of the progressive ethos in
the Bay Area. But we were chatting and we were
(06:16):
talking about how the universities are dying. You know, like
education moving forward is not going to be about going
and getting your four year undergraduate degree and spend two
hundred thousand dollars one hundred thousand dollars whatever people are
spending nowadays for just an undergraduate degree. And the where
education is going is that people like myself are going
to be able to offer courses that go ahead and
(06:37):
through their own means, get accredited by the accreditation systems,
so that I could offer courses on the history of
Orthodox theology and the Church that's accredited, so some student
at the University of Florida or the University of Texas
that they can take my classes online as an elective
and those credits transfer to their degree, and more and
(06:58):
more people already doing this. And you know, father Deacon
doctor Ananias has his logic course in philosophy and he's
already getting students that are certain departments are allowing those
credits to transfer. So the state of education is changing.
And I'm going to talk to you about that old
YouTube channel and what I'm going to do with it,
(07:19):
and on all the new work that I have in store,
but I just want to talk to you guys, and
really get feedback from you guys. I really want feedback
because this community is going to be community driven and
already within the website membership that I have, you know this,
we've been talking about how do we actually build like
(07:39):
a parallel system for Orthodox Christians in America? How do
we build a directory for every Orthodox Christian who owns
a business so that you can you can actually invest
in each other. Now, my community is not so much
building those per se, but people in my community are
actively engaging in building those. The Logos Academy maybe isn't
(08:01):
building a directory for Orthodox businesses so that we can
contact and support each other. But the Eskaton Vigil, the
non for profit that translates you know, the Eskaton visual
that's translating all these prophecies on the end times and stuff.
This was all born out of our community online. And
(08:22):
so how do you monetize education and something that is
legitimate Like this is not just a content hub. This
is not just you get a membership and then you
can get access to some exclusive videos and I post
every once in a while. This is way more in
depth than that, and I'm going to show you guys
everything that's included because we're doing bi weekly or bi
(08:44):
monthly think tanks, we're doing exclusive accountability groups for fitness,
we're doing monthly live q and as any question, any topic,
because this is not going to be limited by ts
on YouTube. This is going to be a private community
where literally any topic can be discussed, anything can actually
(09:05):
be dealt with in a serious way. Of course, we're
going to have exclusive videos all the part two streams
which I'm going to be doing one on the history
of Christian Zionism, and of course that's going to touch
on topics that are a little bit controversial. So the
second half of that, you know, typically I put it
on my website, but we're going to be putting it
over on the school community, and I'm going to show
(09:26):
you the entire layout and you can see how all
this stuff is going to be so much more accessible
and easier to use. All of the show notes, they're
essentially study guides, and so every study guide that I've
created is available in an orderly fashion, tied with the
live stream, the YouTube live stream that it's from, and anybody,
again who's a member is going to be able to
(09:48):
access and download these things. So my vision is building
courses like That's what I've wanted to do. I haven't
had time really since doing building Church with the Eternal
Logos because I've been doing a PhD and for the
last two two and a half years been actively trying
to read and acquire all the research so that I
(10:09):
could begin writing my stuff. And now I'm at the
point where I'm able to eventually publish my book, and
I'm hoping to make my book at least pre orders
available within the next few weeks. And for me, there's
just a lot of excitement that this is essentially the
next stage and whatever this journey is. And getting back
to the conversation that I was going to mention with
(10:29):
the old friend I had from from Berkeley, as we
were talking about when I left Berkeley in twenty nineteen,
I told people that I was going to create a
YouTube channel. And at that time, you know, after you
do your coursework and you're in your comp exams and
stuff like that, as a PhD student, you're encouraged to
submit your articles to journals, go to all these conferences,
(10:51):
you know, meet and greets with various academics and scholars.
And I wasn't interested in that because the year or
the year and a half before I made this decision,
John Cyril essentially the most famous philosopher still living. He's
an analytic philosopher, has the famous debates with Derrida and
fucaout and all that stuff in the nineteen sixties. He
(11:11):
had been tenured at the University of Berkeley since the
nineteen sixties, and he got fired while I was in
the Bay Area because he asked a woman out for
dinner and that was deemed to be sexual harassment or
him using his leverage or status and an abusive manner
against another woman. And when I saw that, I thought,
oh my gosh. So John Cyril incredibly published tons of books,
(11:36):
been a tenured professor at Berkeley since the sixties, and
he can get fired on a whim based on, again,
the sort of progressive social climate that we exist in.
I thought, there's no way that I want to be
totally dependent upon the university. And I was going through
this transformation. You know, this is right after the Jordan
Peterson phenomenon, the Trump phenomenon, the first administration, the MAGA movement.
(11:57):
How this was kind of changing the countercl culture of America,
and that if you were a white, heterosexual male, being
conservative was the counterculture that's moving against the grain, and
me being in the Bay Area, me witnessing the animosity
that I felt from professors, from the administration, from fellow students.
Why because I was Christian, I was white, I was
(12:21):
from the Midwest, I was conservative, and I was heterosexual,
And just because of those things, you know, you can
feel you're not very wanted in those circles. So I
told my advisor that I was going to move back
home to Indiana and I was going to finish my
PhD remotely, and I was going to do all my
research myself. Wasn't highly advised. They recommend that you stay
(12:44):
obviously around campus so you can, you know, utilize all
their tools and resources, their library. But I just felt
like what I needed to do was to build a
platform so that I could be a public intellectual and
academic and not be tied to a university. Because I
do love to write, I do love to research, and
(13:07):
part of what we're going to be talking about today
is my plan for the next three to five to
ten years, and part of that is actually writing a
book every year. Now, some of those are going to
be more general and I have a handful of I
have three book topics that I actually want to run
by you guys today during the stream, and so a
lot of what I'm asking you guys, I really want
(13:28):
feedback in the live chat So please give me feedback
in the live chat mods. If you see somebody has
like a useful suggestion, let me know. I'll highlight it
pull it up. Because what this Logos Academy is is
really fulfilling. And that's why I said it's the next
phase of Church of the Eternal Logos. Church of the
Eternal Logos obviously isn't a church. I created the YouTube
(13:51):
channel because I was coming out of the New Age,
out of Gnosticism, out of the occult, and I wanted
to begin to speak about this new worldview, this new
paradigm of Orthodoxy that I had that I had study. Again, I,
as you guys know, I did a PhD course on
the history of Orthodox theology and the Church, and so
(14:14):
I was a non believer during all that. But that
course in getting introduced reading the Church Fathers, reading Orthodox Theologians,
contemporary theologians standalone, Losky Loth, you know, Andrew Luth, Callistos
ware Bokokov, all these different people. That's how I got
(14:34):
introduced to Orthodox Christianity, and it left an enduring mark
on my mind that at that point, again being new
age and like thinking that all religion is man made,
I always said to myself, if I was going to
choose a religion, this Eastern Orthodoxy, this logos theology is incredible.
It's so comprehensive, it's so compelling once you, once you
(14:58):
were able to digest it all and see how it
all fits together, It's like it all made sense. It
connected all the dots for me. And so because of
that experience, I wanted to create Church of the Eternal
Logos as a church that is focused on again, not
a real church. It's a platform. It's a content hub
to talk about any and every topic from this paradigm
(15:20):
that I discovered, the logos paradigm of Eastern Orthodoxy. And
that's essentially what I've done for five years. I'm going
to be thirty six, thirty six years old this September
twenty second, and so I finished my degree, I have
my PhD, I have my dissertation ready to publish as
my own book. I found my wife and I got
(15:41):
married and I see how God has blessed me in
so many different ways by actually pursuing this path that
was not advocated for. When I told my advisor that
I was going to leave Berkeley and I'm going to
create a YouTube channel and I'm going to do all
my research myself and I'm going to live away, you know,
they said that's not really a smart idea. You know,
(16:01):
you need to go down to la and go to
these religious studies conferences. You need to contact this professor
and see if you can work with them. And I
realized that why would I want to do that? In
my opinion, I thought where I felt stability and being
anti fragile, That's what Church of the Eternal Logos was.
It was an attempt for me to maintain my interest
(16:22):
in being, you know, academic without actually belonging to the
academy that I detest. That I that I could feel
they wanted me out. I was sharing a story with
a friend about during the PhD program, there was you know,
there was a Muslim student. I remember we had a
reading for the day and and I criticized what she
(16:44):
got from it because it kind of missed the theory.
It missed the point of of, you know, the framework,
the methodology of what was being presented, and I got
pulled to the side. I had to go to my
professor's office after the course. I had no idea what
was going on, and they said, hey, you know, you're
criticizing one of the students. She happened to be a
female Muslim who was a feminist but wears a hijab
(17:07):
and is constantly talking about the white man in America
and how, you know, the general progressive ethos. And my
point was, yeah, but she was wrong, that's not what
it was about. And he said, yeah, but you know,
don't criticize people because it makes them feel uncomfortable. And
it's not an environment where everybody can share their opinion.
Now this is a PhD. Everybody in this is a
(17:28):
PhD student. And I was dumbfounded because I thought the
point was to actually read things, engage in dialogue, criticize
constructive criticism to each other. No, absolutely not. And it
was part of that because I was a white man
and the way I look and the way I talk. Yeah,
I'm sure it was. I'm sure that if I was
a you know, a gay African American, would would they
(17:50):
have criticized me for being critical or probably not so.
Church of the Eternal Logos was, in my mind, my
only out to utilize my skill set. Well, which is
my skill set. My skill set I believe, and you
guys can correct me if I'm wrong, is researching, learning
and then communicating that to other people. I feel like
(18:14):
my what my true if I had to bury it
down to one essential skill set, what I feel like
my skill set is that I can communicate a complex
amount of information in a more simplistic way so that
somebody who hasn't read or or done all the things
that I did for research can understand and digest the
central point of what I'm trying to explain. And so
(18:34):
communication and education is what I believe to be my
unique skill set, and that's what then the Logos Academy is.
This is essentially allowing me to create courses, write books,
write things, and get feedback from the community. And I'm
going to show you what we've already built here. But
this is also going to translate into tutoring, you know,
(18:56):
I would like Now, obviously it's not going to be free,
but everybody has all the studies. You guys can do
studies on education. What is the most effective way of
education that has been found They've done all these different studies.
The number one, the number one that makes a significant
difference in educational retention is one on one tutoring. And
(19:19):
so this Logos Academy, what I believe, it allows me
to be the professor and the educator that I've wanted
to be. It fulfills this journey and it takes this
you know, Church of the Eternal Logos free content. Right.
This is one of the things that I got criticized
for when I was talking with some of the marketing
guys is they're like, dude, you just give away too
(19:40):
much for free. You spend you know, a whole day
doing research on something and then you just do a
stream for it. Nobody has to pay for it. You
give it all away for free. You got to stop
doing that. And and my thought was, this is how
I can earn your guys's trust if you can see
that whether I get fifty views or five hundred views live,
(20:03):
I've spent a considerablemount of time doing research on a
topic to try to present this to you in an
educational way that you can essentially glean something from it
and in my opinion, that was a way to earn
the earn the trust of individuals, earn the trust of
you guys as a community, because you see that I
do the work and so you know this. Let me
(20:29):
just thank you. Rachel Wilson just gifted ten total crew memberships.
Thank you so much, Rachel. God bless you, sister. That
is so generous of you. Thank you very very much
for that. I truly truly appreciate that, sister. That is
so nice. And in fact, Rachel, once I get my book,
I'll be sending you an early copy because I want
(20:50):
to get your feedback to read through it, find potential
grammar errors and stuff like that. So I was actually
gonna message you. I'm so glad you're here. Thank you
so much, Rachel, God bless you. And Andrew. Andrew has
been incredibly nice to me and he's helped me a ton,
and I truly truly appreciate my friendship with the Wilsons,
Andrew and Rachel. No matter what anybody thinks of them
(21:12):
or online drama, I know them as as two friends.
We've spent a considered amount of time. They've been very
nice to my wife and I and I just love
you guys. Thank you very much for the support. I
truly appreciate that. And so let me just catch up
real quick. Sarahpam became a Codal crew member. Thank you
(21:33):
so much, Saraham God bless you brother and Jack that
the guitar God throws in five says, congratulations on the changes, sir,
looking forward to your success. Well, thank you very much,
do appreciate it. And so let me actually begin to
show you guys what it is that I've put together
here and what it is that we want to do.
(21:53):
So you know this stream, I'm not going to be
here super long. My goal was to just introduced to
you guys what exactly it is that I'm building and
what it's about. And so right now you can see
this is what the Logos Academy looks like. And I
want to share the link with you guys right now.
So please, I'm going to go through everything that we're offering,
(22:16):
and I'm going to go through like what it is
that this is supposed to be, and I'm asking for
you guys to join me, join me as founding members
of the Logos Academy. The first course that I'm going
to be building is redoing an introduction to logos. So
I remember one of the very first video series I made.
(22:38):
In fact, this was bridging my time in Berkeley to
when I moved back to Indiana, and you can still
find these videos, they're very old on the YouTube channel.
Some of the earliest videos I did was talking about
this concept of logos from Heraclitis and the pre Socratics
up to the Gospel of John. And so that was
one of the very first video series that I did
(22:58):
on the YouTube channel. And I'm going to be redoing
this much more comprehensively, much more professionally for again the
members inside here. So Logos Academy, if you join, you'll
see that we already have people. It's kind of like
a Facebook feed. And this is one of the things
that was so much more beneficial than my WordPress plug
(23:19):
in website is it was hard to develop a true
sense of community where and where members could communicate to
each other without me facilitating a zoom meeting or bringing
everybody together for a particular meeting. Now people can just
come to the Logos Academy and do it all themselves.
And so this was one of the things, like I
(23:39):
presented this today, I need advice on my book cover.
So my book that I'm putting together right now is
the reworking on my dissertation and the title that I've chosen,
And let me know if you guys think this is
a title worthy. A return to Babylon. Now, it was
(24:00):
initially I was going to say the return to Babylon,
but Jeffrey here in the community, he recommends taking away
the and just have it returned to Babylon from Adam
to Antichrist. And I talk to you guys about what
my dissertation project is, which is essentially documenting. It's a history.
It's intellectual history. That's my methodology, intellectual history, and so
(24:21):
through the lens of intellectual history, meaning you can trace
concepts throughout generations and see how they evolve and shift.
I was traced a millenarian understanding of technological advance basically
from the eight hundreds to the beginning of America, well
not the beginning of America, really the end of the
nineteenth century in America, and how the first Great Awakening
(24:44):
and the second Grade Awakening was imbued within the American
ethos that we are the city on the hill. We
talked about this in the Puritanism stream I just did
a couple days ago, excuse me. And then I get
into looking at transhumanism as a secular faith and comparing
that with the theosis doctrine of Eastern Orthodoxy and demonstrate
(25:05):
how these two approaches the deification are competing worldviews of
a pre modern worldview and a modernist worldview. And so
that's essentially the book project. And I can show you
more about it, but I need cover art, and so
some people are recommended maybe a little bit more of
a classical, a classical theme, something more relaxed. I was thinking,
(25:28):
and maybe this is not the most beneficial thing I
was thinking initially, as you can see in the comment
of like a book cover that looks like a dystopian
apocalyptic scene, and what you see from left to right
is like Darwin's evolution of man. You know how people
(25:48):
will it'll look like they're moving from like an ape
or a chimpanzee into a man, except it would begin
with the fallen atom and moving into the transhuman Antichrist,
and then behind would be like a pristine Orthodox Byzantine
cathedral while everything else is black and destroyed and filled
(26:08):
with the tritis that the church stands clear, and so
that way, it kind of has a clear orthodox theme.
You know, you can kind of gleam what it's about
from Return to Babylon, from Adam to Antichrist. But some
people are recommending different different return to Monkeys of the
Blue Skindle. I mean, essentially it is this is part
(26:30):
of you know, the more I make a sophisticated argument
like that to some degree, Rachel says, I like your idea.
It would catch my interest, whereas a more traditional cover
would just blend in with other books. And that was
what my thought was. That's what my thought was. And
so I was messing with Mid Journey trying to create
some type of book cover based on the theme. And
(26:52):
I cannot get Mid Journey to do anything that I
actually prompted to do, and so I'm gonna work with
somebody who's an artist that can kind of put this
vision together. Jack the Guitar God says that cover looks
perfect for the title. Well, this particular one was the
(27:13):
best one I could get from Mid Journey, and you
can see it's kind of the human skeleton on fire
while it's moved trans you know, transforming into a sort
of transhumanist entity. And you can see that the world
is split again. It's edgy, it's it's kind of good.
But I had really the Darwinian evolution of Man theme
(27:35):
kind of central in my mind for it. So anyways,
this is the kind of stuff that the community like
here on this little Facebook like feed is. I want
to know what type of courses you guys want, So
as you move into once you become a member of
the community, you can click here on classroom and I've
moved over fifty hours of content I've uploaded onto this website.
(27:58):
So exclusive videos. You know, all of my study guides,
my stream notes, all those are available. So you click
on one. This was the pure Tanism one. You can
download the document and you can watch the you can
watch the live stream right here. So all of that
is just right there in the classroom. I'm redoing my
(28:22):
entire fitness library that I had on my website. So
and it's going to be basic. This isn't this isn't like.
This community is not about bodybuilding. This community is about
just becoming like the most holistic representation of somebody who
truly believes in Jesus Christ. And that means education, that
means fitness, that means your diet, obviously, it means your
(28:45):
spiritual life. And so whereas I would argue this synaxis
to Sophia, you know, Father Turbo's community, Father Moses, Moses
McPherson's community, my community is different. My community is more
about education. My community is more about talking about the
latest things happening and culture, putting pieces together, going down
(29:05):
rabbit holes, connecting dots while talking about Saints, talking about Orthodoxy,
talking about tradition and spirituality. And so all my second
half streams are up here. These are all, you know,
over an hour long. And so I began really a
(29:25):
couple of years ago this series on an introduction to
world religion. This is one that I'm going to be
completing in the next couple months, is Theories of Religion.
And this is basically what I'm doing is I taught
an introductory course to world religions at the University of Illinois,
and I love that. I loved being in a classroom
and being able to kind of shape people's perspectives and
(29:46):
talk with them. And so I began doing this a
couple of years ago, and it just you know, people
weren't as engaged into it and super interested. So I
kind of stopped after Buddhism, and the next one is
going to be like Chinese, Chinese religions and Shintoism and
Japan the pagan tradition in Japan, and then Islam, Judaism, Christianity,
(30:11):
and then new religious movements. But I'm going to be
finishing this now now that I'm done with all the
school stuff, I have so much more free time, so
much more time to devote to this community. Every single day,
every time I wake up in the morning, when I
check my emails, I'm going to be engaging in this community.
So if you want access to me, if you want
to ask questions about streams, previous streams, new topics, things
(30:35):
going on in culture, I am going to be incredibly
engaged into this community every single day. And so for
anybody who signs up today or in the next week
or so, you can get the founding members price, which
is twenty five dollars a month. I expect to do
a course on logos. I want to finish this course
(30:58):
on an Introduction to World Religion, and I'm open to
doing any course, setting up any course that people within
the community want. Some people were interested in doing a philosophy,
intro to Philosophy. I know that Jay has a philosophy
course on one of the websites. My goal is to
make my community have access to all of this stuff.
(31:19):
So we'll have an intro to philosophy, We'll have an
introduction to sociological theories or stuff like that, will have courses.
One of the ones that somebody advocated for is just
a course on like masculine formation, you know, bringing an
eighteen year old male up to speed on the historical
(31:39):
context they find themselves in in twenty twenty five. And
that's really part of another book project that I want
to talk to you guys about because one of the
things that I was once I publish Returned to Babylon
from Adam to Antichrist. Now, this is going to be
an incredibly academic work. It's not going to be a bestseller, right,
I'm not going to be able to you know, I'm
(32:00):
not gonna be able to compete with Rachel's book on feminism.
She's been like a top seller on Amazon for like
years now. And so I know that this is going
to be incredibly heady dnse work. I don't expect it
to be a bestseller I do hope that other popular
podcasters or platforms or Christian content creators get access to it,
(32:23):
are interested in it, so that I can go and
expose it and potentially get more people to be open
to it. But when you really look at like these
YouTube content creators that have a book, almost they almost
all have a book, right, Ruslan has a book, Rolo
has The Rational Mail, right, a lot of the Manosphere guys.
(32:43):
They all have a general book that kind of lays
out what their worldview is. But it's for a reader
without a bunch of expectations on their background knowledge. My
dissertation is an academic work. It assumes a lot of
things upon the reader. And so one of the things
that I would like to do is write another book
with the target audience being an eighteen year old male
(33:07):
finishing high school that knows nothing about philosophy, theology, economic systems,
the central banking, Fiat currency, the federal Reserve, Jackyal Island.
They don't understand the amount of poison and the corruption
of our food and our education, all these different things.
And essentially writing one hundred and fifty to one hundred
(33:27):
and seventy five page book for an eighteen year old male,
so that if they read it, they can be essentially
brought up to speed on so many different rabbit holes
that we took years to go through and connect all
the dots and then end with Orthodoxy. But it's not
going to be explicitly an Orthodox apologetic text. It's going
to be look, this is the situation you eighteen year
(33:48):
old male find yourself in in the world. This is
how we got here. This is exactly essentially it's an
intellectual history. This is how we got here, and this
is what's going on. And then at the end the
last chapter will be if all this is true that
I've just wrote, then Orthodoxy is the solution. Orthodoxy is
(34:09):
the solution for the collapse of community. Orthodoxy is the
solution for the meaning crisis. Orthodoxy is the solution for
the masculinity problem. Orthodoxy is the solution for the demographic
collapse and not reproducing to the level that we should.
All of that is going to be in essentially a
one hundred and fifty to one hundred and seventy five page
book that I'm going to title The Crisis of Man,
(34:32):
and that is for somebody who doesn't know anything, and
so that is a project that I hope to probably
have done by the beginning of twenty twenty six is
write a book like that. Another another book idea that
I have that I'm curious if you guys would even
be interested in, is so I want to create this
(34:56):
logos course and it's going to be graduate level, right.
This is going to be a graduate like a master's
level course on the history of logos and turn that
into like for the community members, a free ebook. If
you're not in the community, it'd be something like, I
don't know, five dollars, something cheap, something easy to read,
(35:17):
and it's going to be I mean, what I want
My goal is is to make the ultimate the ultimate
overview of logos for anybody to digest. Rachel just sends
in ten more dollars. Thank you so much, Rachel, God
bless you, She says, Yes, this is the book we need.
It's a big piece mything in the orthosphere. Cannot wait
for this excellent idea. Well, thank you so much. And
(35:42):
that's what Once I get all this this done, that's
what I'm going to devote my efforts to. And so
you know, I just want to share with you guys,
like my plan. You guys have been so supportive for me.
You're being here, You're watching this YouTube live stream. You
could be anywhere on the internet on Netflix doing anything,
watching the new Happy Gilmore, and you're here listening to
(36:04):
me rant and rave about something that I'm passionate about.
So thank you guys so much for being here. And
you know, one of the other ideas I have is
I have a couple of papers that I wrote during
my PhD course. One is on metaphysics and essentially talking
about why Emmanuel Kant is so important in regards to
(36:24):
the collapse of metaphysics and it being a primary point
of research within philosophy departments and really philosophy generally speaking. Now,
is that going to be a bestseller? No, a lot
of people aren't going to be interested in hearing about
constant relationship to the history of metaphysics. But I thought
about maybe taking that and putting that in a book
(36:46):
that's a collection of essays, and so using that as
one essay. And I have another essay that I would
love to eventually publish, which is on the utilization of
psychedelics within esoteric spirituality and religion, and it is basically
documenting all the different crazy theories on psychedelics, from the
Alosinian mysteries, from Soma within the Vedas, the rig Veda
(37:11):
and Hinduism, all the way up to Alistair Crowley. And
so I wrote this whole thing, and I never used it.
Nobody's ever seen it besides my professors, and I thought, man,
I could go back and rework that. And I think
that's like forty six pages or something, and I'm sure
there's more I could add. I could either make them
single off like ebooks or really short books that you know,
(37:34):
maybe they're seventy to one hundred pages you could buy,
or I can put it together and make it a
collection of essays. I'm not sure, So you know, let
me know what your guys' thoughts are and what you
would be interested in. Journey of Abundance Throws intents as
Logo Summit Eventually, absolutely absolutely, I would love to put
(37:54):
on actual events where you know, content creators and thinkers,
movers and shake. I mean, there's so many highly educated
people in the orthosphere, you know, there's so many doctors
and PhDs that we could put together academic conferences all related,
you know, tangential to logos or something like that. So
(38:15):
that is exactly the type of thing that I want
to do is essentially be a community that is building
an actual academy, a place for learning and formation that
will include conferences. I mean, we're going to be like
our own little university. That's the goal, and to grow
it and for the members that are joining to help
me do it. And so if you sign up, it's
(38:37):
twenty five dollars and you get a free first week
so you can check it out. You can see all
the content I have up. Maybe you look at it
and you see the conversation we're having. You say it's
not for you. Okay, you get a free week. Everybody
who signs up, you get a free first week. I
promise you if you join our private meetings, you will
not think that it's dry or not informative. I can
(38:59):
guarantee you that. And the men that are already in
our community are incredibly successful people in very diverse fields
of work. I'm not going to dox anybody. I'm not
going to say anybody's name in our community or what
they do. If you join, I'm sure they will share
it with you. But these aren't These aren't like most
of the men in our group. Are already married. Most
(39:20):
of the men in our group are very successful, not everybody,
and that's why we want young men to join. We
want to be a community of men that are already
successful and doing the thing that God wants them to do,
and men that are still trying to figure that out.
That's what it's for. That's what it's for, and so
I want you guys to join. If you sign up today,
(39:40):
it's twenty five dollars a month. And when it goes up,
when I get that Logos course done, when I get
these other courses done, the value what they call value stacking,
is only going to go up. I mean, my goal
is to have ten twenty courses, unique courses you can't
get anywhere else in this community, just for people. Resources,
online ebooks, links to archive dot org so you can
(40:02):
read stuff yourself, all of that. This is a hub
not just for content. It's for people who actually want
to learn and grow. That's what it's for. And so
you know, what are your guys' thoughts on those book ideas?
Do you think do you think I should put some
(40:23):
of those essays as just single off books, maybe five
dollars ebooks or something, or should I put them together
and make a collection of essays. What are your guys'
thoughts on that? I'd be very curious. Big beautiful Bill
Hicks from down Under throws in five says, I was
just talking to someone about how you have a unique
skill of going deep research, distilling it, and communicating it.
(40:44):
Clearly love your work. Well, thank you so much, brother
Bill Hicks. That's what I believe my skill set is.
And so I want to try to monetize it. How
do you monetize education? Online? Education doesn't get the clicks right,
And so this is why I got to change my
model of doing. I spend so much effort to do
research for streams and present them that the marketing guys
(41:07):
and some of the guys that worked with these personal brands,
there's like, dude, you're giving too much away for free.
You need to have a real community that people can
go to where you're investing the majority of your efforts
and investing in that community that already believes in you,
already trust you, is already financially supporting you. And then
you know, sponsored streams, streams that I'd really like to
(41:29):
do public those beyond Church, the eternal logos and I'm
going to talk to you about the old YouTube channel
and what I want to do with that and see
what you guys think. You know, feel free to give
me any constructive criticism. Guys, if you have constructive criticism,
you think, hey, you should probably do this, or you
should think about this. I didn't hear you mentioned this.
Tell me, guys, tell me I would greatly appreciate anything.
(41:52):
And so Jet throws in five salute to you brother,
Thank you so much for the support. Jason Cassele throws
intent says, just joined. I've been waiting for something like this.
Thank you well, thank you very much. Jason. Really appreciate
your support brother and joining the community. Like I said,
your membership will always be twenty five dollars for a
lot for lifetime. Anybody who signs up as a founding
(42:14):
member of the community will always only pay twenty five dollars.
When the group price reaches sixty seventy dollars a month,
because of how much information and how many courses I've
stacked into here, you will still only pay twenty five
dollars a month, I promise you. And so that is
my that is my gift for anybody who wants to
(42:35):
join me in this and be a founding member and
help me build this community. So thank you very much
Jason for signing up, brother, I truly appreciate that. And
then another cool feature about school, So I'm gonna have
all these all these stuff I got. These are like
four YouTube streams that I've been that have taken down.
Two of them got me community strikes, so those are
(42:56):
available for view on for view here, and any any
stream that gets taken down is going to go right
into this playlist. And then the calendar feature. This is
another great feature of the community. You can see right
now it says I'm live because I pinned, I'm going
to put all my live streams are going to be
on this calendar, so you'll be able to see what
(43:18):
time and when I'm going to go live on YouTube.
And the link is present, so if you're here and
you click on it, you can just click this link
and it'll take you straight to the stream essentially what
you're watching right now if you're in the community, and
it will notify you the day ahead of a potential
stream and our think tank meetings, you know, right now
(43:39):
we get together again, this group of guys that we
have from all over the world and we talk about
the latest things happening in culture, and it is very
very insightful when we do this twice a month. One
of the suggestions that has come up is maybe we
turn one of those meetings into a book club. This
is something that I have been I did a book
(44:01):
club one time on doing the Master and Margarita, famous
Bokakov's famous Russian work on the Devil and magic and
all this different stuff, and it went really well. But
the way the payment worked out and the plug in
on the website, it was just a mess. It was
just a mess. But it was fun to do an
actual collective reading together and then talking about it. One
(44:25):
of the things I would absolutely love to do is
read Brother Kasimov The Brothers Kasimov of Dostoyevsky with a
group of people and we moved through so many chapters
each meeting, and maybe we meet once a month, or
we can figure it out. We could add it to
the calendar. We could do something totally different and just
make it a totally different thing from the think tank.
(44:47):
That's also a possibility. So anything like that I'm open to.
We're gonna be doing live Q and A's so I
don't have one schedule for this month, obviously, I just
launched it today. Today is the first day that this
thing is actually public. But you'll see we have a
(45:07):
think tank meeting on the thirtieth of July. You can
click here and go to the next month and you
can see I've already listed some of these things out.
So I was thinking we can do live Q and a's.
I mean, these will be private, so it's not gonna
be on YouTube, so you can literally ask any question
you know on the forbidden topics that we all know
(45:28):
you can't talk about online. We can do private Zoom
meetings where members can hop in and we can talk
literally about anything and just ask questions and clarify things.
Big Beautiful Hick says. Keenan wants you to read his chat. Okay,
we're what Keenan said. It's a super chat. Okay, let
(45:49):
me check let me check over on Dono Chat. John
An throws in five says, congratulations on Logos Academy in
your upcoming books. This looks like a great way of
sharing your experience and the ancient faith. Looking forward to
your upcoming stream on Beloved Disciple. Well, thank you so much,
John that's John Hammond, guys filmmaker. Author. Just recently did
(46:14):
a stream with him on covering Father Sale from Rose
and some of his importance, And we'll be doing another
stream on a new book that he's actually just done,
beloved Disciple, Guardian of the Holy Virgin, talking about Saint
John the Theologian. So we're gonna be doing that actually
the first week of August. But thank you so much, John,
really appreciate it. And let me see if I can
(46:35):
find Keenan's must be here on stream labs. Let me
double check. Yeah, Keenan throws in three bucks over on
stream Labs and he says, dph, I'd love courses that
require writing a lot of courses offered online are basically
lectures and discussions. Having inside of some sort of required
writing forces critical thinking and actual learning. That is actually
(46:57):
another thing. Gosh, Keenan, thank thank you so much for
saying that.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
Can you please still wear tweet if not not tweeting? Yeah,
I can begin to wear tweet again. I got tweet vests,
tweet jackets, all types of stuff. But Keenan, to your
point though about actual like writing, that's another thing that
I would like to do. Within the community. So going
back here and looking at these courses, like, let's say
(47:29):
somebody actually would like to write a piece, like maybe
it's twenty to forty pages. I was also thinking about
offering the ability to help somebody write an academic work.
Now maybe it's only for your blog, Maybe you would
like to publish it. Maybe you'd like to write, you know,
something that's fifty to one hundred pages, and you'd like
to publish it on Amazon or your own personal blog
(47:50):
or a website or your substack. That's another thing within
the community that I would like to do is being
able to offer people the opportunity to actually write something
of their own work. And so let's say, once I
get the course on the history of logos done, somebody
could decide that they want to write a paper or
(48:11):
present it in some way. They can write it. I
can give them tips. That was one of the things
I was thinking about writing, creating a course on how
to do research. How do you actually take an idea,
a question of an idea and then present it as
a physical book. That was another course that I thought
about offering. Johnny Castle says book Club is too feminine,
(48:33):
call it the Wicked Wicked Smart Man Club. Thank you
very much, Jason. I love that. So one of the
things that I was thinking about is allowing people to
write something. A future idea, maybe after a couple of years,
(48:53):
is imagine, theoretically, imagine that I go ahead and get
accredited through these accreditation systems, and that I have a
course on the history of Western magic, the history on
the theology, the theology and history of the Orthodox Church, courses
that you rarely get access to at an undergraduate level.
(49:14):
Those all get accredited, and so anybody who's a university
student can join, and then anybody who's an adult can
purchase to join. The semester, we go through lectures with
PowerPoint presentation, basically exactly like an online course. At the end,
you're expected to write something. I'm going to help you
do it. Obviously, I'm not going to give you a grade,
(49:36):
but I'm going to help you actually craft something that
is worthwhile, and then potentially even offer exams like one
hundred question exam or a fifty question exam. And I
could even offer exams for these things that aren't accredited. Right,
say I put together the first course I want to
do is on the history of logos, and at the
(49:57):
end of it, you can actually select to take the exam,
and if you do get a passing grade on the exam,
that comes with some type of reward within the community.
It's a way to sort of gamify the community. No,
give us a grade, we need to bully each other, Well,
we can do that too. It's like, that's what I'm
saying is this is actually going to be a place
(50:19):
for formal education with people, and and how that lays
itself out is going to be determined based on the audience.
I mean, I would like, again the community for me
when I'm writing something, or I'm writing The Crisis of Man,
that I can drop a chapter in there and say, hey, guys,
(50:39):
what do you think you think this is good? Do
I need to change something? Is it too in depth?
Does it need to be a little bit less? Is
it too heady for again, an eighteen year old male.
Stuff like this. This is a working community and you
could be somebody who's building your own business or doing something,
or you need help with something. We have a community
of men that have a great variety of skill sets
to help you each other. That's exactly what we're trying
(51:02):
to do. Bill Hicks says, without students competing, what's the point. Yeah, well,
we can do that. I mean, I'm open to anything.
So so, I mean that's kind of the vision right now,
and how we can put all this stuff together and
really build something that's unique. So one of the cool features.
(51:23):
So I said, I'm gonna have an introductory fitness library
that's basically gonna teach you. If you've never gone to
the gym and you've never built your body, I'm gonna
show you basics. Right. We have other people in our
community such as e t ever Troyees and he's I'm
in his group right over here, and that's his specialty
is wek method mobility, overall strength, stuff like that. And
(51:49):
he's an Orthodox Christian. We've done streams together. He's in
our community already. He's been a longtime supporter of my
work and in our community. Love et and shout out
to him and the family. But my goal is I'm
not your personal trainer. What I'm going to do, though,
is offer a course on where do you begin? If
(52:10):
you've been out of the routine, you haven't been going
to the gym, what do you need to know? How
do you do perfect technique. What's the methods for hypertrophy
and building your body? And then here is a series
of workouts to do just that. And then I can
have ET and we can do private Q and as
for members where you can ask him, or I get
doctor Moe and you can ask maybe when I do
livestreams with doctor Money's talking about testosterone, you're a little
(52:32):
bit shy to maybe talk about things that you're struggling with.
Well in a private Q and A, if you're a
member of the community, you can ask him right there
and then he can set up a potential consultation, prescribe
you things. Again, maybe you get TRT or whatever it
may be. So Father Moses, other people within the Orthodox
community are who are into fitness will be brought into
(52:55):
the community to educate our community. That's the idea. And
I hope that I'll have private stuff with you know,
Father Deacon on logic and Jay maybe on some of
the pologetic stuff. Somebody mentioned that they really like a course,
so coming over here to the classroom, maybe a course
just laying out all the different apologetic arguments. What is
(53:17):
the argument from morality, what is the transcendental argument? And
this was This was prompted because my transcendental argument on
how you argue with an atheist on YouTube. They said, man,
you should create a series on all the different apologetic
argument Well, I could do that here if that's something
that the community wants, If that's something people are interested in,
I could put together a playlist literally laying outlining all
(53:39):
the different apologetic arguments and how they are used, why
some are you know, what are the pros, what are
the cons of each argument and stuff like that. So,
if you're interested in apologetics, like our community is going
to be a great resource on actually building the foundational
philosophical and theological skills to actually engage and that type
(54:00):
of stuff. Snagilbe says, have you tried reaching out to
doctor step Turley? He has mentioned several times that he
was forming a Patriot Christian Network society group. No, I
know that Jay has. I know Jay's worked with doctor
Steph Turley. I've never met him. We do follow each
other on X but you know, if there's some overlap,
(54:24):
I would certainly be open to it. I mean, the
goal for me is to have essentially have a legitimate
community of you guys here in the live the live chat, like,
we have a unique community. We have people that are
incredibly smart, and we're in we're lay. So this is
where I think, compared with Father Moses and Father Turbos,
(54:47):
this is about taking logos and applying it to a
to a lay lifestyle, worldly lifestyle. I mean, we are
in the world, but not of the world, and so
it's not going to just be you know, talk talking
about the lives of the saints or Orthodox spirituality. That
is certainly a component of it, absolutely, but it's way
more encompassing than that, and so potentially, like I said,
(55:14):
a course on apologetic arguments all that stuff. You know,
that's why the community, whoever joins in the community, they're
going to be the ones that actually dictate what it
is I build because I'm going to devote my creative
efforts to this community. What you guys want, what courses
you want, especially after I get with the Crisis of Man,
(55:35):
What books do you want me to write? Like that's
going to be dictated by the community and what people
actually want and one to consume. I have all types
of ideas, but as I've known with some of my streams,
the things that I find the most interesting are not
necessarily what you guys find the most interesting, and so
I want you guys to have a voice on telling
me what you find the most interesting and what I
(55:56):
should build and what I should focus on. So that's
the classroom section. As I said, the calendar, all that
stuff will be available. You can then see like who's
the members in the community, and you can actually the
cool thing is there's a map and you can see
where the members are in different parts of the world.
Like I said, we got people all over and there's
(56:17):
a handful of people in Europe that haven't signed up
that are usually part of the community. And so the
cool thing about school then if you live in you know,
let's say southern California, we got a couple of people
in Southern California. Let's say there's two or three people
in the San Diego area. You can literally click on it.
I'm not going to do it because I don't want
to dox whoever this member is, but you could click
(56:41):
on it and you could see, oh wow, there's another
member in the Logos Academy that's only like twenty miles
away from me. Then you guys can message, link up
and actually meet people. So that's another cool feature about it.
You know, as I was mentioning to you guys about
the YouTube channel, so I'm getting ready to redo my YouTube,
(57:05):
my old YouTube channel. So obviously Chrich the eternal logos
is going to stay the exact same. But if you
guys put in doctor David Patrick Harry, you'll see this
old YouTube channel pop up. It's like at seventy four
point four thousand subscribers, all this content that I have
on here, it's all gonna go bye bye. So these
(57:27):
are very old videos. Seven years ago I did a
Symbol of the Day series. This is before I was Orthodox.
This is you know, doctor Jerry Brown, who wrote the
psychond Gospels, He was on my PhD committee. This is
a podcast I did with him seven years ago. Doctor
David E. Nichols, he was the the guy the pharmacologists
(57:50):
who actually created like LSD and mushrooms used for governmental research.
And in this podcast he is debunking the whole pineal
gland thing. But anyways, much of this stuff, I'm going
to probably take all of this down, so there's no content.
And my goal was to create new types of videos
(58:13):
for this channel, and it's not going to be it's
not going to be long form content like Church of
the Eternal Logos. I got to figure out how to
branch out, right, how do I get exposure, how do
I get new people to engage with my stuff? And
so my thought process and let me know what you
guys think in the chat. I'd be very, very curious.
(58:35):
I was going to take all this stuff down and
then just create videos that are ten to thirty minutes,
no more than thirty minutes long, no more than thirty
minutes on whatever the hottest topic of culture is. So
it could have been, for example, the Shilah Hendricks thing.
Remember the white woman in Minnesota who the Somalian immigrant
(58:57):
was mad at her and telling her to call him
the D word and then she did. Okay, so it
could have been the Shiloh Hendricks thing. And then I
can break it down and a very erudite and much
more sophisticated commentary on general culture and basically make videos
like that all the time. So have more clickbaity titles,
(59:19):
click baity thumbnails, and clickbaity topics so that people could
maybe who don't know who I am, find a video.
Oh wow, this is really relevant. Wow, that's a little
bit of a more sophisticated, interesting take. I wasn't thinking
of that. And then if they want more, they want
long form content. That's at Church, the Eternal Logos. That's
where we do streams that are an hour and a
(59:39):
half to three sometimes four hours long. That's long form,
deep information. The general, this YouTube channel would just be
popular content stuff like that, and then the Logos Academy
is for the people who are serious. The Logos Academy
is what I considered the community. And so that how
(01:00:00):
I'm going to try to restructure content creation is that
this YouTube channel will be for very popular, culturally relevant stuff,
breaking them down the way that I tend to break
things down Church. The Eternal Logos will stay the same.
That is long form content. Those are sponsored streams, and
then Logos Academy is the community of depth of information
(01:00:21):
and of people trying to learn. So that was kind
of Hey, shout out to Chase Haggard, God bless you brother,
glad to see you here. So that is kind of
the focus and my thoughts on that. What are your
guys' thoughts on what I could do with this YouTube channel,
this old YouTube channel, Like I said, I've been dual
(01:00:43):
streaming to it because this was a YouTube channel filled
with New Age, psychedelic and occult people. So I knew.
I knew that dual streaming my Church of the Eternal
Logo stuff, which you can see that I have done.
If you click on live, you'll see basically all the
streams that I've done are over here. I'm gonna take
all that stuff down, But I did that so that
(01:01:06):
those people would eventually like unsubscribe because they're not going
to be interested in the stuff I'm talking about now.
You know, I know that community, I know what they think.
They're not going to be interested in what I'm doing now.
So my thought process was I was going to duel
stream onto this YouTube channel until people stopped unsubscribing and
so upon. Really last month was the first month that
(01:01:27):
it actually started to gain subscribers instead of lose subscribers.
So I feel like it's it's now kind of ready
to reformulate and put out totally new types of content.
Jet said, you also need to go on other people's
podcasts more combined with Redone Channel covering topics as they
have done. Yeah, Jet, That's exactly what I'm trying to do.
(01:01:51):
So my thought process on trying to get more exposure here.
And guys, if you know people who have YouTube channels
that have platforms that are anywhere tangentially related to my stuff,
please tell them to have me on. Because once I
get my book published, which I hope to have in
the next month, then then I have all my stuff
(01:02:13):
I have, I'm going to redo my website, so I'm
going to totally update my website. I'll have my book,
and I'll have my logos academy, and then I just
want to get on as mini podcasts and get as
much exposure as possible. If they're interested in my book,
we can promote my book, I can talk about my research.
If they're interested in other topics that I discussed, we
can get into that. But you're totally right, Jet, I mean,
(01:02:34):
my goal is I want to get all this stuff
set up in the next month and then just try
to do any and every you know what they call
media exposure as possible. That is literally my goal. On
your other channel, you can use your PhD to react
and critique other videos. Yeah, that's that's a really good idea, Keenan.
(01:02:56):
Is just make it kind of like just make it
basically the way that a lot of the Daily Wire
guys do their show, right, they just react to videos,
and maybe that's what this will be, is just a
reaction channel. That's actually a really good suggestion, Keenan, and
maybe that'll be a part of it. It's just like,
this is a reaction critique of the most popular things
(01:03:19):
going on, essentially a distillation of my drama alerts, and
maybe all the drama alerts will be over here on
this channel. And so I thought, two, I could potentially
do podcasts over here or something like that. But I'm
really leaning Keenan. What you said really resonates is maybe
just making videos that are culturally relevant, critiquing the latest
(01:03:41):
thing happening, whatever the latest sensation is. Chase says, Honestly,
I think you going on NaSTA and Formant would be good.
Neil is a spurg oppositional ideology, but you two could
have a cool conversation. And he's he has a big channel.
I'd be hey, I'd definitely be open to that, Jase,
(01:04:06):
I definitely be open to that. So that and that's
what I just want in my mind, get my book done.
I'm so excited to launch this community and get my
website redone, and now for me, it's just like creating.
To me, there'd be a weight lifted off my shoulders
where I can just focus on content creation and getting exposure,
(01:04:28):
going having conversations, having more people on So uh, Turquoise says,
Neil's an all right guy. Well, hey, I'm totally down.
If he's interested, I'm absolutely down. I have I have
no opposition to that. Jet says, maybe stepping more into
the debate debate sphere as well, crucible is an easy
(01:04:51):
way to get into that and express to the other
side to the truth that you're arguing for. Well, that
is another thing Jet that I wanted to do, is uh,
you know, Jet, You're coming up with great suggestions brother
this because that was another thing that once I got
(01:05:11):
all this stuff into place, which I'm hoping to have
done in the next month, I am absolutely open to
do all types of debates. I mean, during the during
my dissertation I had, I was offered to do a
handful of debates, and I turned them down because I
didn't have time to prepare for a debate when I'm
reading and writing and doing research and then creating content
(01:05:31):
on my YouTube channel also full time so I just
I just turned down all debates. But obviously I just
did the determinism debate over on the Whatever podcast, and
I'm absolutely interested in doing more public debates, anything to
get more exposure. So if it's uh, you know, I
know Andrew would always be down host debates on the
Crucible modern day debate if they're open to it anything.
(01:05:56):
So for me, it's like, I want to would love
to see you debate Destiny. That would be he is
such he is such a sophist. I think the only
way to handle Destiny is Ad Hominin's in vulgarity, because
I mean, you can't pin that guy down to anything.
He's an absolute weasel. But yeah, anything anything regarding debates,
(01:06:23):
any sort of interview, any podcasts, if you guys have
a platform and you want to do an interview, I'm
absolutely interested. So so yeah, he can't debate. He he
doesn't even have an argument. He just he's a sophist.
He's a sophist. So he had determinis debate. That girl
(01:06:47):
was dumb as a rock, true, that is a fact. Yeah,
and she was very sassy, very very sassy. Tony says,
I'm willing to do a Buddy Cop movie with well,
I'm glad that you're willing to do that. Thank you,
Thank you for that generous offer, Tony, I do appreciate. No,
(01:07:11):
I don't do ad Hominem's really that's my point about
debating destiny. I mean, unless there is a real, like
clear thing to debate. Because my problem with debates, and
I was talking with Jimbob about this actually after my
determinism bait. It's actually in the stream that he was
hosting on my channel is in the in like the Academy,
(01:07:34):
it's it's so focused on the argument, and then when
you do popular debates, like on YouTube, it's all about
the rhetoric, and so you can have an incredible argument,
but on YouTube debates they'll just not engage with your argument,
and so then it looks like you're like losing the
debate because you're talking about nuance, you're talking about details,
(01:07:56):
you're actually prying to present a logically coherent argument, and
then they're just quote unquote scoring with rhetoric. And so
I think that's one of the difficulties of doing blood sports. Now.
Now there is a there is a place for blood sports,
no doubt about that, and shout out to Andrew and Jay.
I mean that's that's what they engage in, but also
(01:08:18):
having a more fruitful debate and conversation. I think that
would be useful. Justin Hinley said it, but I'm not
a smart and academic guy, but I would pay for
others to take TPHS courses like a sponsor. You know, well, hey,
that would be that would be would be very interesting.
(01:08:39):
I mean you could theoretically you could purchase a membership
for someone else. Okay, So yeah, I mean what whatever,
I mean, I'm open. I need suggestions from you guys
and really curious on on you know, what you guys
(01:09:01):
see as a as a fruitful vision for the future
and creating more content. Like I said, I'm going to
do the Christian Zionism stream that's going to have a
part two over on the school community. That's going to
get into everything that would violate TOS over here on
YouTube or that you'd be worried about getting deplatformed on.
So so yeah, that's kind of what are you guys
(01:09:27):
talking about in the chat anyways, Ortho dom throws in
five says the book club for Brothers Karamazov would be amazing.
I thought that would be cool. I haven't read that book.
And when we read Master and Margarita, it was so
(01:09:47):
much fun actually getting and hearing what other people's perceptions
were because I would read a chapter and I would
have all this you know, symbolism that I've uncoded within it,
and then we would have another member who would read
it and they would see something totally different, and yet
the patterns that they saw were totally insightful and even
(01:10:07):
corresponded with mine. So it was a lot of fun
actually reading a book together as a as a group.
So that's something that I would love to do again
as part of the community and moving forward. But we'll
see what the people who sign up, what they want,
what they're interested in. And Justin Hinley just gifted a
Codal crew membership. Thank you so much, Justin, God bless
you brother, really appreciate that. So this YouTube channel, if
(01:10:32):
you guys haven't subscribed, please please go subscribe because I'm
going to start putting out content that is exclusive to
this channel, and so let me share that link with
you guys again. So for everything, for all the new
stuff and the new type of probably video critiques and
cultural commentary, that's all going to be on this channel

(01:12:00):
you will get a free week and your price is

Part two streams. All that plus like ten courses, ten
to fifteen courses, community meetings, private q and as, fitness

up for. So please, I promise you guys, just try
it out and you won't regard You will not regret it.
So what was the other thing I wanted to talk
(01:13:08):
to you guys about. I think the major one I
wanted to see was what you guys thought about the books.
And so let me show you something. So right now
I'm going through and I'm gonna I'm gonna rework this.
So this is a different format. It wasn't the dissertation format,
So I'm trying to reformat it for for an actual book,
(01:13:32):
to get it ready for for Amazon or Lulu. Haven't
decided which one I'm going to publish through but the
Return to Babylon from Adam to Antichrist. I still got
to come up with some type of cover art for it.
But you know this whole thing, I am very very
proud of this as an academic work, and obviously we're
(01:13:59):
going to be publishing this in the next month or so.
But what are your guys' thoughts on some of those
other book ideas such as I know Rachel thought that
The Crisis of Man was a really good idea. What
are you guys' thoughts on that? What are you guys'
thoughts on a collection of essays potentially? What are your
guys' thoughts on maybe making those essays like the one
(01:14:20):
on metaphysics, the one on psychedelics or religion their own books.
What are your guys' thoughts? I need some feedback. Oh
my gosh, Jason Castle just throws in nine ninety nine
for the goal. Another nine ninety nine, another nine ninety nine,
another nine. Thank you so much, Jason, God bless you brother,
(01:14:41):
really really appreciate that. Thank you so much, Jason for
the support. God bless you, my man. So, what are
your guys' thoughts on on some of the books, and
we we are getting ready to shoot. We may pass
(01:15:01):
forty thousand subscribers today. Let me see where we're at
right now, thirty nine and thirty seven, so we're almost
due for Do you guys want to do a forty
thousand celebration stream? Yes, Jason, thank you so much, brother
(01:15:22):
for the generosity. Thank you very very much. And Austin
Detulio just throws in ten as well. Thank you, guys,
very very very much. Austin throws in ten. Man. Jason
throws in another ten, another ten, another ten, another ten,
another ten. Jason, God bless you, brother, Thank you so
(01:15:42):
much for the support. That's incredibly, incredibly generous of you.
My man, goal is reached. Thank you so much, Jason,
(01:16:10):
God bless you. Bro. Really really appreciate that. Jason. That
is incredibly generous. Man, That is incredibly generous. Thank you
very much. Truly truly appreciate that. So, what are your
guys' thoughts? Feedback on books, feedback on book cover? You
(01:16:31):
guys have any suggestions for me? John Ann says, don't
forget to check out the Dono chat again. We'll do.
John Anon throws in another five dollars says, my priest
became Orthodox after reading Brothers. Karen Mazov in College highlighted
his story in the American Orthodox film Great Book. Also
(01:16:52):
might consider watching the movie version for those who wanted
to see the adaptation. Well, thank you so much, John,
I really appreciate that. Brother. Thanks for another five dollars,
and Austin Detulio throws in a generous fifty dollars. Thank
you so much, Austin. He says, this is an excellent
project to take on. Brother, God bless you and yours. Well,
thank you so much, Austin for all your support. Man,
(01:17:14):
really really appreciate that. That's that's very nice and generous
of you. Same with Jason, Thank you guys very much.
So I'm just baffled at how fast all the Orthodox
channels have been growing. It's hey, I'm telling you, Orthodoxy
(01:17:36):
is hitting the mainstream in American culture right now. It
absolutely is. And that's why, you know, I think it's
only going up from here and learning about Orthodoxy, educating
about Orthodoxy, I think it. You know, when I started
Church of the Eternal Logos and I talked about the
channel idea to people who weren't Orthodox, they go, oh,
(01:17:56):
my god, dude, you're gonna you're just gonna relegate yourself
to like Orthodox Christianity, because again I came from the
New Age, you talk about all this different stuff. I
was like, yeah, it's it's about every topic from an
Orthodox perspective. And they're like, oh my gosh, that's so
niche man, you're not going to be able to grow.
And it was slow growing at first, but now it's like, dude,
(01:18:16):
there's more. There's Orthodox converts like every single day. So
this is it went from incredibly niche community and and
field topic to something that is becoming very very popular.
So absolutely, Belgian Nerd throws in twenty five no comment.
Thank you so much Belgian Nerd for the support. God
(01:18:37):
bless you brother. And they said where do you go
for one on ones? Well, right now, I still have
one on ones up at my website and I'm going
to be changing the pricing on those, so if you
do want one, you can still get the old pricing.
I'll send the link here right now, so bats, if
(01:18:58):
you're interested in one on one you can do that
right here, the link that I just posted. I am
going to be changing the price and I'm going to
be offering private tutoring, So I'm only going to open
it up to a handful of people because obviously, if
you do tutoring for too many people, it gets way,
way too overwhelming. I wouldn't be able to focus on
the Logos Academy. I wouldn't be able to focus on
(01:19:20):
sponsor streams and content creation and all the other stuff
I got going on. But I was thinking about taking
on like two to three people per semester and literally
whatever topic it is that they want to grow into.
Could be apologetics, could be history, could be philosophy, and theology,
world religions. I'm eventually going to start offering like one
(01:19:43):
on one tutoring and so you can get my formal
education as a comprehensive resource to go in one on
one in zoom meetings on whatever topic it is that
you guys would like to do. So that's something that's
going to be coming in the future, and that's part
of the Logos Academy is offering tutoring. So I'll have
(01:20:05):
resources in the community. So say they want to learn
about philosophy, my plan is to have an Introduction to
Philosophy course in the community, and then if they want
private tutoring. We can go over each each philosopher, we
can go over the major movements in philosophy and stuff
like that. Chase says, why is my custom custom tutoring
(01:20:29):
price ten thousand dollars. That's because I have to deal
with you, Chase. So if you're a more difficult client,
you have to pay a little bit more. That's just
how it works, brother, It's just basic capitalism, all right.
So shout out to Chase. God bless you, brother. Hey
and Chase, congrats on the music video. Dude, that was great.
(01:20:52):
I gave you a like over on Instagram when you
posted it. Great stuff, great stuff. Man. Continue I know
we've been chatting privately, and I know you and your
music stuff is so close to your heart and to
your purpose. That keep going, bro, keep going, don't stop. Man.
(01:21:13):
It's so great to see something that you've been talking
about for I mean, in my mind, it's been almost
like two years you've been talking about the music you're writing,
producing it, getting it finally the way that you wanted it.
And now that you're finally there and you've released your
single and you got a music dude, God bless you.
Keep going, Bro, keep going. Do not stop, Wicked Wally says,
(01:21:39):
because this is all an elaborate plan to take your money. Specifically, God,
Wicked Wally, I love you, Bro. I was able to
meet Wicked Wally. We went to a Metallica concert with
the Wilsons. God bless you, Wicked Wally, Genie and I.
We had a great time. You man. God bless you, Bro,
(01:22:01):
God bless you. And what was the other one? Snagglebeast
throws in twenty and says, I had an idea for
a book a few weeks ago beyond the Acts of
the Apostles, historic timeline of Orthodoxy from seventy a d.
To present. It would be good for props, especially unless
you do to seminary. No one really learns that. That's
(01:22:24):
actually a great that's a great topic. That'd be a
great even course and book is going through the major
historical periods from seventy a d. To the twenty first century,
like Orthodox history. That's actually a great suggestion. Snagglebea's I'd
be very open to doing something like that. As I
(01:22:47):
mentioned right now, the priorities are launching the community, which
we're doing today, publishing the book, which I hope to
do in the next month and then redo my website,
and then the next one after that was The Crisis
of Man. Is that general book for the eighteen year
old male. And those are essentially the four major priorities
(01:23:10):
for projects that I have and all of it is
built upon again the logos Academy. So that's a great suggestion,
snaggle Bees for a book, I'd be very interested in
trying to present something that is basically a discussion on
the historical timeline of Orthodoxy so that people, I mean,
it relates to everything. Again, what my methodology is in
(01:23:33):
academia is intellectual history. That's what I love. I love
to see the historical threads of things and see how
then they've emerged in contemporary period. So that is literally
right up my right up my alley. So thank you
Snaggleb's for that. Really appreciated brother, big Daddy. If you
(01:23:55):
send it as a super chat, okay, that's somebody else then. Uh.
Chase is also an amazing, amazing engineer. He mixed my
whole last product. Yeah he is, and and I've when
I went to Chase's wedding, I was able to see
his setup. He's got a great little setup in his basement. Actually,
(01:24:20):
Snagbie's really good thinking. Brother, Uh, it is good thinking.
That's a really good suggestion. Uh. Jay Bennett says, I
would be interested in a long format of Oriental Orthodoxy
and Eastern Orthodoxy. You know, that's some of the you know,
the minutia of the Monophysite controversy and the Fourth Ecumenical Council.
(01:24:46):
I'd be very interested in doing an overview of some
of that stuff. But you know, it's it's not my
favorite topic of major detail is getting into all those differences.
I know it's a can tines topic, but I you know,
if that's something again the community kind of is going
to direct where all this stuff goes. If that's what
(01:25:07):
the community wants, then I'll do it. I want to
do what the people are looking for. Big Daddy says,
can you look into the history of music and how
certain vibrations and sound effects our mind and how it's
related to government control. Well, actually, Big Daddy, that's going
to be in my history of Logos, because I'm going
(01:25:28):
to bring up simatics. Cymatics is the study of the
geometrical shapes within sound vibrations, and so I plan on
having a section within my course on the history of logos,
talking about how from a logos perspective, language in the
word itself carries a vibrational resonance of creation, and this
(01:25:52):
is partly of how the occult uses words to construct
and build things for their own desires. But then how
we as Christians are to speak truth exoterically instead of
esoteric secrets. We speak truth to the world. And that's
where you know Peterson's Yeah, he's kind of right in
the sense that it sets things in their proper order.
(01:26:12):
But this is a theanthropic reality. This is a divine reality.
This isn't just you know, speak your truth, Buckoh and
and things will be put back into order. Uh, not exactly.
I mean this is you know, obviously he's been very
reluctant as of late to consider himself Christian. But but
(01:26:32):
absolutely sound vibrations affect your mind. This is why orthodoxy
talks to you about the music. You listen to, the
internal diet, the mind diet that we all have, the
things that we're constantly thinking about and reflecting on. These
are vibrations, and disharmonic vibrations are a sign of the devil.
(01:26:55):
And so you can look at contemporary music and all
that different stuff. So I definitely want to be talking
about vibration, simatics, all that different stuff, and to me,
that all ties with the logos paradigm because then we
realize that my ability to take abstract thought and express
it to you right now through vibration, sound vibrations, this
(01:27:16):
is part of being made in the image of God. Yeah,
dolphins can communicate, whales can communicate, animals can communicate. They
do not have language, they are not doing abstract reasoning
and then expressing it through sound vibrations that have linguistic
laws and rules. This is unique to us. And this
from our theological perspective is how again we're sort of
(01:27:39):
made in the image of God in the first place.
So good Peterson pro things. I try to do Kermit
the Frog, and that's my go to whenever I do Peterson.
So absolutely cymatics, sacred geometry, like all of that is
(01:28:00):
going to be one of the sections within the logos
theology frame. So that says a history book, I mean, yeah,
I'm going to do history books. My thought process is
that I want to write a book every year, and
so this year I'm going to get my dissertation out.
But an academic book like my dissertation that takes like
(01:28:20):
two years to write. And so my thought is if
I could do an easier book every year, and then
like every three to five years, devote myself to another
academic work, like there is there's a handful of topics
I would love to dive into for two years and
(01:28:42):
write another academic work on it. So, Uh, those just
take so much more time. The citations, the reading, finding
all the sources. Uh, that's very different from doing a
more general book, where yeah, I'll have citations and stuff
like that, but you know, I'm not trying. I don't
have to go through a library to find some obscure
(01:29:02):
text so that I can quote it and cite it accurately.
And a general work, you know, you just don't have
the same pressure. But I would like every three to
five years or every five to seven years write another
tone of an academic work. That's kind of my goal.
Turquoise says, I've been listening to a lot of country
(01:29:23):
and folk recently. I for sure feel better in comparison
to when I listen to more popular and contemporary music. Yeah,
because the words in the music actually resonates within you.
And so if you listen to like country music or bluegrass,
you know it's more soulful. That's what soul music is,
is that actually has some type of concordance with your soul.
(01:29:48):
Bill Hicks says, I used to write an historian as
an in tower. That's the Orthodox inward, that's offensive. Just
cleaning your room, Buco, it's all getting in archetycl Yes. Anyways,
Pantera says people did not know to the degree that
(01:30:09):
they should about what happened to the disciples so Saria
Philippi when Jesus exposed them to the rituals of Jewish
Elite that were performed there. I'm not sure what you're
talking about. Jason says, not a not a fan of
(01:30:31):
country like bluegrass. I'm old metal fan. Well, I like
some metal too, As I said, went to the Metallica
concert with the Wilsons in Wicked Wally. That was a blast.
That was so much fun. Caleb Gonzalez says, I'm new
to Orthodoxy and wants to join the Academy. Well, Caleb,
(01:30:53):
we'd love to have you, bro sign up. Here's the
link right here. Sign up and join, and I promise
again the cheapest price you'll ever get is this next week.
It's going to be twenty five dollars, and wherever the
direction of this community is going is going to be
based on the members. So if you're interested, Caleb, please
(01:31:14):
sign up. Man, I'm promising you this would be the
time to do it. Brody Harvey says, I'm late. Where
do I sign up for Logos Academy? Brady just just
sent the link out, bro So please, if it's something
that you would like to be a part of, I
promise you you'll enjoy our community. Please sign up with
(01:31:34):
the link that I just posted in the live chat.
Any more questions or thoughts, guys, It sounds like it
(01:31:55):
sounds like you guys are pretty much consistent with what
I've already outlined and what my vision is. I didn't
I don't want to make this stream over two hours.
The goal was to make this stream. Jason Castle, Is
there an option to gift a membership to the academy?
I'll have to look on school dot com. There might
be I know that, actually I know that there is
(01:32:17):
an affiliate program where if you join my academy and
then you get your friends to join, you can actually
get a piece of their membership. I think I haven't
set it like forty percent or something, so I can
I can look into that a little bit more and
give you some more details. But I'm pretty sure there's
(01:32:38):
an affiliate program. So if you if you join, and
you get some friends to join, you can actually get
a piece of the pie if you will. So I'll
let you know about I need to look a little
bit more into it. Will you still post and live
stream on this channel? Yeah? Absolutely absolutely, And as I said,
(01:32:59):
all the live streams that will be on this channel
are going to be on the calendar within the Logos Academy,
and so this channel will still be long form content, right,
Like I want to do a historical overview of Christian Zionism,
and that's not a sponsored stream. That's going to be
a long form content stream. That is going to be
(01:33:21):
a part one part two, and the part one will
be public here on YouTube, and so in all sponsored streams,
So if anybody wants to do a sponsored stream, all
those are still going to be here on Church of
the Eternal Logos Like those aren't going anywhere. And in fact,
if anybody wants to sponsor a stream, I've already knocked
out a couple. We got three more to go through
(01:33:42):
that I'll be doing this next week. If you guys
want to sponsor a stream, you can still sponsor streams.
Those will always be on Church the Eternal Logos. All
long form content will be on Church of the Eternal Logos.
Maybe some of the Drama Alert, the video review, that
stuff will be on Doctor David Patrick Carey YouTube channel,
and and then all the long form. Again, this channel
(01:34:06):
is really not going to change at all. It's just
this is where people who actually are insightful and when
long form content go. And then the Logos Academy is
from those people who actually want to belong to the
community and go deeper and have immediate access. Like you
guys will be able to ask me questions every day
because every day I'm going to be inside the Academy
(01:34:28):
talking to people. So you get you get immediate access
to me if you're part of the community. So that's
another thing. Do you list the pricing, Yeah, it's twenty
five dollars a month. If you go to the community,
it should say it, so let me let me share
(01:34:51):
that screen. So if you go to the community, this
is the about page. You know, it's twenty five dollars
a month. Right now, now we got twenty eight members.
Thank god, thank you all so much for signing up.
Logos Academy Healing the Soul of twenty first century Man.
This is not just a content hub. It's a digital
(01:35:11):
academy of intellectual formation and spiritual alignment built to train
men to see the world rightly through the Divine logos.
While other groups are often fragmented self improvement, relationship, advised
financial strategies, or surface level masculinity, Logos Academy integrates them
all into a holistic framework grounded in orthodox theology, classical philosophy, history,
(01:35:32):
and cultural analysis. This is about becoming the man of God,
the becoming the man God made you to be. Inside again,
you'll find all the stuff that I already talked about.
So again I want to share this link with everyone. Please.
I'm telling you guys, you will not be disappointed. This
is going to be my passion project. This is where
(01:35:54):
all my attention and my effort is going to be focused.
Do you pricing for oh, for stream, it's two fifty
it's two fifty bats. I spend a full day doing
research on the topic that you choose. So I literally
spend the full day before the stream, and often the
(01:36:16):
day leading on the day of the stream leading to
the stream, diving into online resources, academic databases, YouTube videos,
anything I can find to build a foundational knowledge for
the topic and then present it. And usually then I
try to find YouTube videos because people like to watch
YouTube videos more than me reading a document to them
(01:36:37):
and stuff like that. So do a stream on nicotine please, yeah,
I will. In fact, it'd be a great way to
promote my oup, my alp U nicotine affiliation. So if
you guys are looking for nicotine, you know I have
an affiliate link right here to the best, the best
(01:36:59):
nicked teen pouches on the market, the alp nicotine pouches.
Click that link and you'll get ten percent off. You'll
help me out, and I promise you you'll get the best
nicotine pouches. In fact, I got I got two nines
in right now. So as you as you grow in
your nicotine use, you do become a little bit more desensitized,
(01:37:21):
that is for sure. Need to try. They jack up
the price on Vella. Dude, I have Velo. Okay, I've
done Vello, I've done all the nicotine pouches. I'm telling you, ALP,
nicotines are the best. Are the best two nines? Yeah? Bro, Yeah, Bro.
(01:37:50):
I try to do my PhD on LSD, that's not
gonna work out. Well, good luck writing a dissertation on
LSD based ads use nicotine products. I'm a I'm a
promoter of nicotine, although if you don't want to have
that is ALP addictive. Well, all nicotine is addictive if
(01:38:15):
you depending on what studies you're I mean, you can
go find academic studies on the addictedness of nicotine. And
it's the same as caffeine, So caffeine is very addictive.
I also like my caffeine and regarding people like quitting
nicotine pouches and stuff like that, the addictive level is
(01:38:36):
basically the same as caffeine. So if you're able to
quit caffeine, you can quit nicotine. Nicotine does. It's one
of the the FDA doesn't allow you to promote any
health benefits with nicotine, so you're literally banned by law
to say that there are already health benefits. But if
you go and dive into some of the Alzheimers Alzheimer's research,
(01:38:57):
cognitive health nootropic benefits. They're definitely are some. Tony says,
I have a bellow in right now, we'll get an out, Tony.
I'm telling you they're better. Where's the AUP link? I
just shared it. I'll share it again right here, So
the outplink, it's always in the video description. So if
you guys ever need access to one of my links,
be it the Logos Academy or the Alps, those are
(01:39:22):
always in the video description. You generally like it more
than Vello. Absolutely absolutely Vello one that the flavors kind
of have a chemical feel to it, and the flavors
in the Alps last a full hour. I'm not kidding
a full hour. You can literally take a drink or
squeeze it after sixty minutes has been in your mouth
(01:39:43):
and you can still taste the flavor. So it's a
little bit slow, more slow acting, unlike zen' Zen kind
of hits you right away. The Alps are a little
bit more slow acting, but they last so much longer.
Chrispy says, just smoke fags. I'll leave that for you, buddy.
Nicotine is our vegetables. It's natural. Its natural purpose is
(01:40:08):
to make us eat our greens. Tobacco just happens to
have some of the most. I love that. I love that.
How does it compare to rogue? Rogue is so the
pouches are smaller than rogue. I've done rogue to actually
had a can of rogue. Rogue tore up my gums.
So I did rogue for a couple of days and
I had literal skin like shedding from my gums, and
(01:40:30):
I thought, never ever again. And so the Alps softer
pouches much much better flavor. It's a little bit slower
acting in regards to the way the nicotine hits you,
but they last forever, and it's just a better quality.
Softer pouches last longer, better flavors. So I mean, I
(01:40:58):
promise you if you try the Alps, you're not gonna
to say, oh man, the rogues or the Zen's or
the vellows. It's not It's not even close. I just
did a huge order. I'll try out next time. Thank you, brother.
I'm telling you you won't regret it. You will not
regret it. Uh. Nicotine is also a natural insecticide. That
(01:41:22):
is true. Well, that's why one of the did you
guys see the paper that came out on the COVID
and the people that had a regular, regular nicotine habit
were like, it's like eighty seven percent or is in
the eighty percent tile had less chance of contracting COVID. Now,
how could that be? How could that be? Obviously we
(01:41:45):
know how that could work. I mean, you just look
into some of the science of nicotine and the binding
receptors and stuff like that. I to rogues, well, hey,
each to their own, each of their So anyways, guys,
you know, I, as I told you, I came on
(01:42:05):
here not to do a long stream. It is to
tell you, guys, kind of the new phase of Church
of the Eternal Logos, which is, as I said, these
the logos academy, rebranding the old YouTube channel, creating new content.
Church the Eternal Logos basically stayed the exact same, and
I'll be doing the exact same stuff. I'll be doing
(01:42:27):
more content because now again, part of the reason why
I haven't been doing so much content the last couple
of weeks is getting all this stuff in place, getting
thumbnails made, creating like this video here, which I'm not
going to play for you, but this is a this
is the about video. You know, for people joining the academy.
(01:42:47):
This is something, you know. Major shout out to Ipack,
my thumbnail guy who helps me. He helped me edit
this video. He helped me put together much of the
stuff in this community. So major shout out to Ipack
for helping me get all this stuff together and get
it started. But I promise you, guys, this isn't the
(01:43:09):
idea here is if you trust me, which was the
whole point of me doing my Church of Eternal logos
for the last five years, that I will put in
the effort that I am not here just to ask
you to give me money, right, I am not here
just to entertain you, although I try to be entertaining
when I'm being educational. But if you trust me as
(01:43:30):
a person that is sincere and trying to do the
best they can and build things of value for people,
I promise you joining the community is not going to
be a mistake and I'm going to be incredibly indebted
and thankful to you for helping me build this. Jay
Hamsa just gifted five total crew memberships. Thank you so much, Jay,
(01:43:52):
God bless you. Brother. Really really appreciate that. And in fact,
we're now regarding the YouTube membership. I'm going to be
putting some of my exclusive videos on YouTube for the
five dollars monthly membership on YouTube, So I'm not forgetting
you guys either, but getting a few exclusive videos compared
to being in the actual community where conversations, resources are
(01:44:15):
being shared, links are being discussed, it's just not going
to be the same thing. However, I am going to
be providing resources for all the members, and in fact,
I'm going to be uploading an exclusive members video probably
later today or tomorrow for YouTube, so the YouTube memberships
are not nullified. And anybody who's a member on my
(01:44:36):
old YouTube or on my old website contact me, because
I'm eventually going to shut that down. I'm going to
allow the website memberships to kind of overlap for the
next couple months, So if you've purchased a year's worth
of membership, we'll figure something out. Contact me. We can
work something out over on school because I want you
(01:44:58):
guys to join the community. All the fitness memberships, I'll
reach out to people and see if they're interested in
actually bumping their membership up ten more dollars in joining
becoming a founding member of the Logos Academy and joining that.
So if you already are a member on my website,
just contact me. We can work something out if you're
(01:45:20):
interested in joining. But this is taking whatever I was
doing on my website, and I've been doing that for
what three years, I'm getting ready to take it to
a whole other level, a whole other level in the
Logos Academy. Justin Henley throws in five says Andrew Huberman's
channel boomed when he tackled topics like caffeine, nicotine, marijuana, corn,
(01:45:41):
might do good to do those updated for today. That's
actually a really really good point, Justin. I'm going to
write that down and maybe those would be good topics
even go over on the other YouTube channel, the new one,
(01:46:01):
to try to launch some new content. So thank you
for that suggestion, brother, I will absolutely keep that in
mind and potentially make videos. I mean, Justin, are your
(01:46:22):
thoughts of doing a live stream here or maybe putting
those making those smaller digestible clip videos and putting those
on the other YouTube channel. What were your kind of
thoughts on that? And then I think we had somebody
over on stream Labs and in a super chat, Sam
(01:46:43):
Tims throws in three dollars, says I am catechumen and
you have played a big part in my conversion process. Well,
glory to God, Sam. That's wonderful. Can you do a
stream about nicotine? Yeah? That seems like a huge, huge
discussion that has to be now a full long form
stream that's been requested by seven people. Now, can you
(01:47:07):
do a stream about nicotine? I use it, but I
feel my use or I feel I use the various
benefits as copium. I feel like it's similar to coffee.
Can you stream it so I know if I'm actually
am coping or not? Lol? Yeah, Sam, I will do that.
It sounds like yah, sounds like a lot of people
(01:47:29):
are interested in a stream on nicotine. So yeah, I
will absolutely keep that in mind. So, guys, I just
want to thank you all so much for the support today.
A major, major thank you to Jason Cassel for the
generous support today, Thank you for Austin Detulio for the
(01:47:49):
generous fifty dollars super chat, and thank you everybody who
contributed and supported today. Like I said, I'm super excited.
This is in my mind the next stage and so
my life getting married, finishing my PhD was like the
completion of a sort of adolescent stage. This is me
(01:48:09):
taking my business to a new level, professionalizing it, creating
more content, creating more value, value stacking in the community,
and giving back to people what it is, whatever they want.
So again, the audience is going to be able to
dictate that, the community is going to dictate where we
go with all this stuff. So I just want to
(01:48:30):
thank you all so much for being here, and I
just encourage everyone to join me and join our community
and help us build this because this is really the
beginning of really the next stage. I mean, I look
at this as the beginning of the next five years.
So Church of the Eternal Logos was started five years ago,
(01:48:50):
and now we're here and I've completed my schooling and
I've gotten married, and now I'm ready to focus on
actually providing for my wife and my family. And it
feels like we're now the next stage. This is the
next stage of my journey. So I'm just I'm just
excited to start it and I'm excited to see where
it goes. Ortho dom throws in five says, what about
a book on how tongues was abused from heterodox and
(01:49:12):
how it was used by the Apostles, then changed by
the Motanists, then the Protestants. That's not a bad that's
that's not a bad topic either. That'd be interesting, certainly,
you can get into the craziness of modern day Pentecostals
and speaking in tongues, in the irrationality of the gibberish
of glossalalia. That would actually be That's an interesting little
(01:49:37):
That's an interesting little book. That's something I could put
together in like one hundred pages and one hundred and
hundred and fifty pages and make that like an online
ebook or a physical copy for like fifteen dollars or
something like that. So I'm gonna I'm gonna write that down.
(01:50:04):
Thank you very much Orthodon for that suggestion. Jay Hamsa
throws in a generous twenty and says thank you, DPH.
I look forward to the school I enjoy learning. I
also want to thank many of you who have contributed
to the growth in my life. Well Glory to God, Jay,
and thank you very much for the support brother. I
truly do appreciate it. And I don't know if you've
already joined. I haven't got able to check all the
(01:50:25):
people who have joined the logos Academy. But if you have, brother,
if you haven't, we'd love to have you. If you have,
we're excited for you to join our think tank, which
is next Wednesday. For anybody, you've heard me talk about
these think tanks for years. I promise you guys, if
you join, you're not going to feel like you're let down.
The conversations and the insights we have are incredible. Austin
(01:50:48):
Detulio says, a stream on the paranormal and what it
looks like in an Orthodox lens. Okay, I can do that.
That sounds like a good one. So I got that one.
(01:51:09):
Going back to Babel, the insanity of talking and tongues,
that would kind of go with my theme of return
to Babylon. Maybe that is the second book. Maybe this
actually is my second academic work, is diving into the
Tower of Babel and tongues. I don't know that. That's
(01:51:38):
an interesting thought, and I can't wait. I cannot wait
to get my book published. I know for you guys
that are still here, the people that are still watching,
you guys are hardcore. You guys are heads, you guys
are thinkers. I imagine some of you will probably purchase
the book but like I said, this is not a
popular reader. This is this is an in depth, academic,
(01:52:02):
intellectual history of transhumanism, technology, and orthodoxy. When is the
book of availability for pre order? I'm hoping to get
that in the next two weeks. So that's why I
was talking to you guys about book covers. I need
a book cover, I need I need some type of
visual for what the book is going to look like,
so I can go ahead and get all that in
(01:52:23):
place on Amazon and get the pre orders up while
I send the actual book to a handful of people
to give what their thoughts are. I'm going to send
it to Father Deacon. I know Jay's really busy. I
may reach out to him to see if he has time.
I doubt he does, he's a very busy guy, but
may send him a copy see if he likes. I
was going to send Rachel and Andrew a copy. And
(01:52:47):
I have a buddy that I sent a copy to
yesterday to begin to look at it and just find
any sort of small grammar problem. And I've already cut.
So the book or the dissertation in double space, which
is how you have to submit it at a university.
Double space was like three hundred and sixty nine pages.
(01:53:07):
There's a handful of stuff I cut out. Originally it
was like four hundred, so I cut it down to
three sixty. It's now at three sixty one, and I'm
going to take the font I think to one point
five for the book publishing. I may do single spacing.
I don't know if I do single spacing, and obviously
save on the price of the pages, but I got
(01:53:28):
to add a subject index. See. I was thinking about
doing like an actual publisher. Father Peter Hears mentioned about
potentially sending it over him to Uncut Mountain Press. I
thought about sending there's an Orthodox publication here in Indianapolis.
Actually it's Saint Nicholas Press who published this book The
(01:53:49):
Beauty of Ethics or The Ethics of Beauty by Petitsas,
So they're actually they're actually here in Indianapolis. I thought
about maybe out to them. But the more I think
about being able to have total control of my work,
being able to maximize the most amount of money from it,
because again I have a wife, we're trying to get
(01:54:11):
a house, I'm trying to I'm trying to get my
life together and actually make money. That I thought I
I'm just going to self publish it, and if it's successful,
maybe I sell a thousand or two thousand copies. Well,
then you know, if there's a publisher that wants to
republish it and maybe add a forward or add a
(01:54:32):
you know, a different preface to it and stuff like that,
I might be open to that. But in my mind,
looking at my options, and I really spent like three
or four days debating this, I think I'm just going
to self publish it, and I'm and one of the
things I hate about self published books is they don't
have a subject index. If you go to an academic book,
(01:54:55):
which is what my work is, every academic book has
a subject index, because that's how you do research. When
you get a book and you're doing research, you open
it up, you look at the contents, and then for me,
I'll thumb through the chapters and then I go straight
to the subject index and then find the topics that
I'm interested in, flip over and start reading those sections,
(01:55:16):
start tagging those sections, and then if there's more that
needs to be done, then I'll begin go back and
reading full chapters and reading through the book. That's how
you do research. And so I hate so many some
academic self published books as they don't have a subject index.
So I got to add, I gotta get this reform added.
I gotta get send it out to people, make sure
(01:55:38):
there aren't any errors in it, and then then get
it up for pre order, or I can get it
up for pre order before that, but then get it
out for purchase. And I was thinking about maybe I
make the purchase September first, or maybe I make it
September twenty second, which is my birthday, my thirty sixth birthday.
Maybe I make the the actual public. I don't know it.
(01:56:00):
It doesn't really matter. It doesn't really matter. So my
goal again is to get at least the pre orders
up in the next couple of weeks. But to do that,
I need it and hammer out what the cover art is.
I don't know what the cover art is going to be.
Like I said, I was messing around with mid Journey.
It didn't really give me what I the vision I
had in my head. So I'm going to try to
(01:56:21):
work with my thumbnail guy or potential artist. If you're
an artist out there, you're a graphic designer, you could
potentially help me create my book cover reach out. I'd
be very interested. Dell says, you'll sell two thousand copies, easy, brother,
I hope, so, dude, I hope. So. I don't think
selling books nowadays is as easy as it looks. I
(01:56:42):
plan on making an ebook copy available and doing an
audiobook version. Maybe I read it or I use AI
to use my voice to read it. But god willing,
God willing, I can sell two thousand, if not more, copies.
But but yeah, I just gotta get this. I gotta
(01:57:04):
get this art, the book cover art. Once I get
that hammered out, then making it available for pre order
is just a matter of a day, you know, going
through that process on Amazon and getting that set up.
So so that's that's kind.
Speaker 2 (01:57:20):
Of MyH That is pretty much my my plan right now.
Speaker 1 (01:57:32):
Somebody just sent something in okay, So so hopefully I
can do two thousand copies or more. I mean, we'll see.
It takes about seventy two hours for Amazon, and they
provide a free as ISBN. Yeah, I was gonna buy
my own ISBN just so that I don't know, I was.
(01:57:57):
I was actually contemplating that because Amazon gives you like
the Amazon ISBN, but it's just for Amazon, and I
was thinking about even potentially going through Lulu, which is
another self publisher, and you know, I don't know I
could potentially put that I don't know. I was thinking
(01:58:17):
about just buying my isb in which are expensive. Guys.
You know the little numbers, the ISBN number that's on
the inside, So you see the cover copy, you know
you have the cover, you open the book, then you
see the title page. Then you open it up, and
then you see you know, the ISBN and the the
date it's published and all that stuff. One ISBN number
is one hundred and twenty five dollars, but if you
(01:58:39):
buy ten ibns, you can get it for three hundred dollars.
So I either and like I said, I have multiple
books i'd like to do, so I was thinking about buying,
you know, ten ISBNs for three hundred dollars, but I
had no idea they were that expensive. So I may
just do I made just do Amazon. I'm not sure
(01:59:01):
I'm gonna I'm gonna talk with the Escaton Vigil again
and kind of hammer out details, but I think I'm
just gonna buy my own i ISBN. Bill Hicks says,
write a book about how We're not all God, and
how monism is dumb, and have a forward dedicated to
Marilyn and how her conception of God is retarded. Oh
(01:59:24):
oh gosh, you guys are hilarious. H Tony says, I'm
nice with graphic design, homing Well, dude, email me Church
of Eternal Church of the Eternal logos at gmail dot com.
So it's just the YouTube channel name at gmail dot
com and email me because if you do have skills.
I don't have graphic design skills. I'm creative in a
(01:59:47):
different way, so I'm not good with like visual arts.
But if you do have a skill, let me know, dude.
I I absolutely could use anybody Blue Skills says, Can
I just buy ISBNs and resell them or has that
come upon you? Probably could. Actually they're more expensive than
(02:00:08):
I thought. I didn't realize that get an ISBN number
was that expensive. When you publish the book, let me know,
I'll leave a great review. Well, thank you, brother. I
appreciate that, Dell, and I absolutely will. And like I said,
my goal is to get this get this cover art
hammered out in the next two weeks, get pre orders
up on Amazon, and then make it available for purchase
(02:00:32):
by September. That's that's my tentative goal right now, and
then in that time get my website redone. So ifnybody's
out there who's a website designer in your Orthodox and
you already kind of know what my brand is and
what I'm doing, i'd you know if you can help
me out please, And so once I get that stuff done,
(02:00:52):
it's just game on. It's about getting exposure, going on podcast,
doing all that stuff. Marilynd sins and five says king, Well,
thank you very much, maryor do appreciate that? Very nice?
Brad Harvey says, a stream on debunking animism of Native
American religion through a philosophical lens would be great. I
(02:01:14):
have a few arguments against it. I come from a
tribe in Washington State and now I'm mechanic. Well, glory
to God, Brady. You know there's nothing more Native American,
especially in the Northwest, than converting to Orthodoxy. We have
a whole history of that. So philosophical lens on animism, Okay,
(02:01:42):
I can do that. Jack to the guitar God says,
thanks to one of your guests, I did a superior
close Orthodox church and I will be baptized with my
son at the August. Thank you for being part of that. Well,
Glory to God, Jack Guitar, God, Glory to God to
hear that you and your son are gonna be brought
(02:02:04):
into the church. That's amazing, man, that is amazing. So
just to conclude here, Blue Skittle, like I said, pre
orders should be available in the next two weeks. That's
that is the goal. Once I get the cover art done,
then I can upload that to Amazon and now we
can have pre orders. So if anybody out there can
(02:02:25):
help me with the cover art, please reach out. Tyler says,
what books do you recommend to read right now? Well,
what exactly are you interested in? That's a really big question.
How tall are you? I'm six foot six foot, six
foot two pounds. Sat Herman of Alaska is a sweet story,
(02:02:54):
Yes it is okay, Tony just emailed me. Thank you, Tony.
I'll get back to you today. Thank you very much. Brother.
So it's all God, it's all good. Jack. Do appreciate it, bro,

amazing that you guys are gonna be able to be
brought in together. So well, guys, let me just double check.
I don't want to miss anybody before we hop off
here again. Please go join the new community. I promise
you will not regret it. Here is the link School
(02:03:38):
dot Com Forward Slash Logos Academy. You can find me
on school if you go to school for example, let's
just go so. Here is Father Turbo Synaxis of Sophia.
It's very spiritually oriented. Here's the narrow Path of Father Moses.
If you go to discover communities and you put in logos,
(02:04:04):
I am the first community that comes up. I am
the only logos community. So if you're missing the link,
just go to school dot com put in logos, and
I am the first one that comes up. So please, guys,

(02:04:24):
and you will enjoy our think tank meetings and everything
else going on. And I promise you I'm giving you
more and I will continue to give you more than
what your monthly membership costs. I promise you that if
you trust me based on the five years of me
creating church with the eternal logos and the quality of content,
trust me for the paid community that I'm trying to
(02:04:45):
build it's gonna be worth it, Brady said. The tribe
where I come from believes in a form of dualism,
so I tack it from that angle. Makes sense. What's
the email again? Can you put in the chat Church
of the Eternal Logos at gmail dot com. Church of
the Eternal Logos at gmail dot com. That's it? So okay,
(02:05:32):
all right, thank you, Tony. Appreciate If any if anybody
has a skill set and you think you can help
me with my book, publication, cover art, anything like that,

I'd be greatly appreciative of that. So I told you
I wasn't gonna go over two hours. My goal was
literally an hour to two an hour and a half,
(02:05:53):
and like always, my streams always go longer than I intended.
So anyways, the whole point, guys, is to celebrate today
is the launching of my new community. Please join if
you''re interested. I greatly appreciate That link is in the
video description. ALP affiliate link is in the video description.
(02:06:14):
And I just want to thank you all for the support,
whether you joined today or not, or join at all
in the future. If you're still here, watching this stream
or you clicked on it later in the future. Thank
you for your support, Thank you for being here, Thank
you for subscribing to the YouTube channel. Thank you for
supporting my ability to create content and do what I
love to do, which is do research and then try
to educate and communicate that to the world to regular people. Right.
(02:06:38):
That's why I didn't like the academy is I had
a professor and my master's degree who was an expert
on early Christianity, and he was writing articles again based
on linguistic scholarship and all this stuff that he told
me he had just published like this big article he
worked on for like a year, and he told me
that he's really writing it for like one other sky
(02:07:00):
in Europe who does the same thing he does, and
they have different opinions, and like they're the only two
people that can really know the minute show of what
they're talking about. And I thought, wait, you just devoted
like a year your life to write an article that
essentially only one other person or a handful of other
people in the world truly understand and actually can contribute
(02:07:21):
to you with. I thought, oh my gosh, I do
not want to do that. And so in my estimation,
instead of most academics doing their research and then speaking
to other academics, I want to do research and then
speak to the world. And I want to give adults
and people outside the university the opportunity for an actual
graduate level university education on a variety of topics. So anyways,
(02:07:46):
keep your eyes peeled for things in the future I'll
be doing. I got a handful of streams coming up
this next week and so I just want to thank
you all so much again. God bless you all. Thank
you all for the support, and I'll see you and
so as always until then, God bless
