The Foundations of Reality

Greetings and welcome to another episode of Spiritual Sundays!

I am your host, Franklin O’Kanu and it’s been a while, but I’m back on the mic for this episode of Spiritual Sundays.

Today’s topic: The Foundation of Reality, just might be the most important concept I’ve ever laid out.

In our modern world, we’re constantly handed inverted versions of truth — in science, in history, in religion. Everything gets filtered through dogma, power structures, and control mechanisms until we’re left with half-truths wrapped in lies.

So I decided to do what I always do when the modern narrative starts to feel off: go back to the source.

In this episode, I return to one of the world’s oldest known religions — Zoroastrianism — to uncover the spiritual operating system that shaped much of what later became Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

But more importantly, I go beyond doctrine to explore what I believe are the four foundational principles of reality itself.

These aren’t just religious ideas — they’re energetic forces we all live by, whether we know it or not. Inside this episode, I lay out a powerful spiritual model involving:

• A Divine Creator

• The polar forces of Ahriman (logic, control) and Lucifer (passion, idealism)

• The balancing Christ Principle (as described by Jung)

• And the mysterious force known as the Druj — the principle of distortion and inversion

This episode is not about upholding dogma. It’s about reclaiming our ability to see and navigate reality — spiritually, truthfully, and with balance.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this philosophical deep dive. I’m excited to be back. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. And if it resonates, share it with someone ready to hear something real.

Ashe.
