The Way Forward

Sharing here in addition to the community wall on our platform in case others hadn’t checked the platform: Hey everyone. Someone recently posted on the community wall upset that I hadn’t replied to their direct message. I’d just like to offer some honest perspective here… I currently have 1,336 unread text messages. Excluding Email, instagram, Facebook, twitter, telegram, WhatsApp, and Signal. Just texts. It is overwhelming, to say the very least. I am one man. I run multiple businesses (TWF community, the podcast 6x episodes a month, Confluence, and health coaching on the side). I have a wife and 3 kids that I like to give most of my attention to. Please understand that I do my best to respond to everyone, but it is utterly impossible to keep up. If it’s really urgent, please email our team at hello@thewayfwrd.com. Also, I DO NOT WANT this platform to be about “ME.” This platform is for US, who are interested in creating a more healthy, free, and coherent world wherever we are. That’s the intention behind this platform—to facilitate connections so YOU can connect with others locally (and virtually) who are doing the same, and build/create what you feel is best for you. With love, Alec

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 254: What Scientists Are Getting Wrong About Plasma with Dana Kippel Plasma makes up 99.9% of visible reality, and almost no one talks about what that means for consciousness, healing, and the nature of this experience. My guest, Dana Kippel, is an author, filmmaker, and researcher who wrote A New Force after a transcendental meditation session gave her what she calls the full definition of plasma in a single moment. She'd barely heard the word before that. Four years later, she's built an entire framework around it. She argues that plasma isn't just the fourth state of matter. It is sentient and feminine. It's the layer where consciousness, memory, belief, and physical reality feed back into each other. Ether by another name. The practical implications get uncomfortable in the best way: Why the same "demon" appears differently to different people. Why UFOs kept changing shape across centuries.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 253: The Hidden Link Between Your Breathing & Your Self-Esteem | Mark England The language we use and the way we breathe have a tremendous impact on our mental health. Mark England is a TEDx speaker and co-founder of Enlifted, and he's spent 19 years studying how words and breath create the story we live inside. His definition of mindset stopped me cold: it's the story you tell yourself. That story is made of words. It's made of breath. You can't work on one without the other.

In Belgrade with my oldest son! Hope to see some of you at Liberpulco later this week!

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 252: The Secret Connection Between Nature, Heaven & The Human Mind with Chris Winters There’s a lot of misconceptions about electroculture and our connection with the divine. And Chris Winters can tell you the truth about all of them. Electroculture has become a buzzword on Instagram, but almost everything circulating about it misses the actual mechanism. The people teaching it have never grown a paying crop with it, but Chris Winters has, for over a decade, on a working organic vegetable farm in Tennessee. Chris is the founder of The Fertile Current and a medical qigong doctor who spent his first years farming fighting nature, using blood meal, bone meal, and every conventional organic input, until a crisis of conscience forced him to rebuild his soil fertility from scratch with rock minerals, biochar, and antenna systems that collect atmospheric charge.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 251: Parents: THIS Is Why Your Kids Don't Listen to You (It's Not Their Fault) with Dr. Tom Cowan If your child is not listening to you, they’re sending you an important message that you keep ignoring. Dr. Tom Cowan, alternative medicine doctor and author of Common Sense Child Rearing, joins me to unpack what he learned from decades in family medicine, raising his own children, and years of watching families up close. We also get into the trap of "gentle parenting", the MAHA movement's role in keeping people dependent on authority, and why the health freedom crowd keeps recreating the same dynamic at the dinner table.

Hey all, Although we would’ve liked to have a fall version of Confluence this year, for a variety of reasons, it’s just not in the cards… HOWEVER… We have some amazing things cooking for Confluence in 2027, taking Confluence well beyond a single weekend in April. With that, we’ll look forward to seeing you on April 22-26, 2027. 😉 - The Confluence Team

A must read!: https://open.substack.com/pub/dontslapsnooze/p/did-covid-come-from-a-lab-or-a-porta?r=1cuxx1&utm_medium=ios

Said this 5 years ago. Stand by it today. Replace “media” with “government.” And it’s the same. I think Fauci is the fall guy to legitimize the idea that COVID was a real bio weapon that came from a lab, that we should be afraid of man made viruses, and that the government will hold itself accountable for the agendas it is a part of.

A friend of mine reached out wanting me to interview someone running for political office in a US State, who, as part of her platform, would require disclosure on a whole host of issues. I am torn on whether it’s even worth doing a podcast with her. On one hand, it could be an interesting conversation. On the other, I am philosophically a voluntaryist as many of y’all know, and don’t even believe government’s authority is legitimate in the first place. Thoughts?

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 250: The Next Level of Spirituality & Knowing Yourself with Garrain Asé. You need to let God purify you, and you’re about to find why. Garrain is one of America's top 25 personal development coaches, a bestselling author, and a speaker who has reached over 4.7 million people across 100 countries. When I invited him to Confluence, everything in his life was being stripped away. His business and investments were cut in half, and his identity was dissolving right along with them. In retrospect, he realized that's what it looks like when God purifies every part of your life that's out of alignment. He said yes anyway, and that trust became the thread of our entire conversation. If you're in the middle of a personal storm right now, this conversation is for you.

A dear friend and member of TWF is in need of help. If you have the means to help, I know his family would really appreciate it: “My family is facing an immediate financial crisis. We've exhausted our savings, have been forced to max out our credit cards (we're currently at over $50,000 in debt), falling behind on essential expenses, and are now forced to leave our rental home by the end of the month, with nowhere to go nor money to move anywhere. My partner and I are doing everything we can to keep things moving forward while caring for our 7-year-old daughter, three dogs, and cat. Your support would provide critical stability; helping us secure temporary and/or long-term housing, cover essential living expenses, and bridge the gap until we return to bringing in much more abundance, returning to at least normal levels, if not more. Stephen continues putting out applications for Chief of Staff and Program Management roles, and his coparent's also doing what she can, to bring in abundance, too. If you feel called to help, Venmo and PayPal provide the quickest availability to funds, while GoFundMe transfers may take several business days or longer, especially when using a credit card. Venmo: @Stephen-Kantola-1 PayPal: @SMKantola GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-me-and-my-family-until-i-get-fulltime-work Thank you for considering an investment in our family's next chapter. Every contribution makes an immediate and meaningful difference.”

Also I love Yerasimos. One of my dearest friends. Take a joke everyone. Lighten up.

And I mean gay in the context of lame. No offense to gay people. Gay can mean happy, homosexual, or lame. Just like fag can mean cigarette, a dereogatory term for a homosexual, or a nickname for Yerasimos Stilianessis

Also, I don’t even get angry at the people who are quick to call me and others shills/controlled op/sell outs anymore. You’re not my target audience. I want an audience that is open minded but skeptical. Those who ask “hey Alec, I noticed you didn’t push back at Gregg. Why is that?” Rather than those who immediately assert (without evidence) “this is proof Alec is controlled op!” Lazy. Paranoid. And fucking gay. Not my people. See yourself out

There's a version of health optimization that's making people more anxious, more neurotic, and less resilient, and almost no one in the space is willing to call it out. The holistic health space has a problem, and Ste Lane is one of the few people naming it. He's a coach, homesteader, and host of Radical Health Radio. His lens on ancestral health, masculinity, and human vitality is shaped by everything from cage fighting in England to raising kids on the land in Tennessee. Ste and I have been orbiting each other's worlds for years, and this conversation is the first time we’ve been able to sit down and dig in. A lot gets covered, but the real thread underneath is this: most people are outsourcing their health to protocols, supplements, peptides, and fear-based content, and it's making them weaker, not stronger.

Getting a lot of flack on my interview with Gregg Braden—multiple people saying I’ve “sold out”, and I understand why. He brought up a lot stuff I don’t agree with: aliens from other planets, the genetics dogma, vaccines, and more. And the problem people have is I didn’t push back enough. Here’s the context that people don’t understand. There’s always more context… Gregg’s team told me I only had 1 hour, and he couldn’t go any longer than that. My typical podcast length is averaged at 2 hours 50 minutes, so that I typically CAN go deep and push back/share my perspective where I feel appropriate. But as he was saying some of the many things I disagreed with, that time limit was lingering in the back of my mind. I knew that, if I pushed back on any one of the points I disagreed with, it would derail the conversation and we’d have no time to get into things I intended to discuss. Ultimately, we really didn’t get into many of the things I wanted to discuss anyway, which was a huge bummer. I love some of the info Gregg has put out on consciousness, the mind, and the nature of reality. And we didn’t really get into any of that. What that said, the onus is on you as the listener to take what resonates and leave what doesn’t, irrespective of a situation like this. Also, I genuinely love interviewing people that I don’t agree with on everything, cause it’s an invitation for my to check myself on my own perspectives, and also learn that people I disagree with DO have the capacity to share some golden nuggets of wisdom.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode Ep 248: How to Reclaim Your Sovereignty Before the 2030 Global Reset with Gregg Braden The global reset is coming, and we need to get prepared. Gregg Braden is a five-time New York Times best-selling author, scientist, and pioneer in the emerging paradigm bridging science, social policy, and human potential. From 1979 to 1991, Gregg worked as a problem solver during times of crisis for Fortune 500 companies, including Martin Marietta (now Lockheed Martin) where he worked as a Senior Computer Systems Designer, and Cisco Systems, where he became the first Technical Operations Manager in 1991. He continues problem-solving today, and his research resulted in the 2003 discovery of intelligent information coded into the human genome and the 2010 application of fractal time to predict future occurrences of past events.

Catch our latest release - now live! Episode 247: The Real Cause of Insomnia & Sleep Issues with Derek Lacey. Most people think they go to sleep to wind down, but Derek Lacey says sleep is when your life force expresses itself the most. Derek is a sleep facilitator and the founder of The Art of Falling Asleep. His work reframes insomnia, dreaming, and even the purpose of sleep itself. He spent years rotating through Ambien, Xanax, NyQuil, and Dramamine. He even went camping with no technology and still could not sleep for two nights in a row. Then in 2015, something shifted, and it had nothing to do with magnesium, blackout curtains, or any other protocol. Our conversation moves into territory I have not heard another sleep expert touch on: why the mind is not the brain, why determination to fall asleep is often the thing keeping you awake, and how Derek believes the purpose of life is to sleep.
