The Christ Within, The Forces Around You, and the Lies We Were Told
A Spiritual Blueprint for Navigating the Inverted World
Introduction
Over the past few months, I’ve been sitting with a question:
Since everything we’ve been taught — about history, science, and the world — has been inverted... could the same be true for religion?
Not completely false… but twisted. Half-truths wrapped in control systems.
Dogma dressed as wisdom.
In my newest podcast episode (finally live), I explore this question by tracing the Abrahamic religions back to their spiritual source — through ancient religion, esoteric philosophy, and psychological truth.
This episode is titled Foundations of Reality, and it’s one of the deepest spiritual frameworks I’ve ever recorded.

What’s Inside
In this episode, I explore:
The teachings of Zoroastrianism, the world’s oldest known religion — and how it shaped Christianity, Islam, and Judaism
The four spiritual forces that govern our experience of reality:
The Divine Creator
The polar forces: Ahriman (logic/tech) and Lucifer (passion/imagination)
The Christ Principle that balances both
And a lesser-known but vital force called Druj — the spirit of distortion and inversion
Why the figure of Christ isn’t just a historical savior — but a living principle within you (a concept discussed by Carl Jung)
How modern religion inverted spiritual truth to gain power — and what Gnosticism, Sophia, and the Demiurge reveal about it
A map for discerning truth from lies in a spiritually upside-down world
✨ Special shoutout to Albert — your comment about “Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds” landed right on time. Synchronicity at its finest.
Why This Episode Matters
This isn’t just another talk about religion.
This is a spiritual decoder.
A framework.
A map.
One that explains why the world feels broken, how ancient truth was distorted, and how you can walk in alignment with the forces of creation — not the manipulated versions fed through institutions.
It’s also deeply personal — because once you understand this framework, you’ll start to understand yourself more clearly too.

Very good indeed, Franklin. You have opened things up for me hugely. It is freeing to realise I have both Ahriman and Luciferian parts to me, and neither is evil per se! The Christ self as a further guiding influence, directly from the Divine Spirit. And finally the Druj. I loved your treatise on Gnosticism. This is next level. Thank you for helping my awakening.
Zoroastrianism did not help SHAPE Christianity: it may have contributed because of the moral tenets it holds. but I am really tired of the NAMASTE acting as if they "HELPED" Create CHRISTIANITY.. So GOD CONSULTED With THEM? I don't think so. HAVE A BLESSED EASTER. HE IS RISEN>
