The Evolved Podcast

Ever wonder why we decorate trees in December or hunt for eggs in spring? Beneath the surface of our most cherished celebrations lie forgotten origins and manipulated histories that would shock most holiday revelers.In this eye-opening exploration of holiday consciousness, we peel back the layers of tradition to reveal how our most sacred and secular celebrations have been co-opted, stripped of their spiritual significance, and repackaged to serve various agendas. From Christmas's pagan roots to Thanksgiving's sanitized history, these revelations challenge everything we thought we knew about the days we mark on our calendars.Aaron Scott guides us through how holidays function as both personal anchors and national myth-making tools. These ritualized pauses don't just give us days off—they shape our identities from childhood, create emotional architecture that lasts a lifetime, and reinforce cultural narratives that often suppress uncomfortable truths.The journey takes us through the manipulation of our calendar system (did you know September through December are named for the numbers 7-10 despite being our 9-12th months?), the Roman Catholic Church's strategic placement of holy days, and how April Fool's Day emerged from calendar reform resistance. We examine how religious celebrations across traditions share surprising similarities, revealing a common human experience beneath seemingly different beliefs.Most powerfully, this episode challenges us to question what happens when we celebrate without understanding. Are we practicing faith or participating in a ritual of ignorance? When we decorate, gather, feast, and repeat without questioning, do we become unwitting participants in our own programming?This isn't about abandoning cherished traditions but awakening to their true significance—moving from autopilot celebration to conscious observance. By remembering where our traditions truly come from, we reclaim our power to decide what they mean and transform them from mechanisms of control into authentic expressions of our humanity.Follow The Evolved Podcast to continue unveiling the true nature of the world hiding in plain sight, with new episodes weekly.

Our social systems do not necessarily create a Matrix-like prison. If approached correctly they can be mechanisms that empower - that serve as mirrors, awakening us to what we have yet to recognize in ourselves. Aaron Scott invites you beyond the fearmonger's narrative to a deeper understanding: government, capitalism, religion, and education aren't inherently evil but encoded reflections that, approached consciously, become vehicles for awakening rather than cages.Forget the spiritual bypassing that tells you escape is freedom. There is no "outside" the system. The real question isn't how to flee these structures but how to awaken within them, transforming what looks like limitation into levers for self-realization. Every mechanism we've been taught to fear—money, hierarchy, identity—can be reprogrammed when seen not as truth but as language, not as prison but as possibility.What corrupts systems isn't their design but our consciousness. When law becomes about obedience rather than justice, when education enforces conformity rather than discovery, the problem isn't the structure—it's the intent operating through it. Systems are mirrors: they amplify what we bring to them. You don't need sweeping reforms to regain agency; you need to recognize you were never truly controlled. You simply forgot you were writing your own story.Your uniqueness isn't just poetically beautiful—it's cosmically necessary. Diversity is the engine of evolution, not merely a cultural ideal but a universal principle. Every revolutionary idea emerged from someone who didn't fit the mold. In rejecting difference, we reject fragments of our own divine totality. While our experiences differ, our interface with reality reveals a shared ground—we are one consciousness experiencing itself in billions of forms.Don't shrink from your essence. Be loud, be weird, be you. You're not here to escape the illusion but to awaken inside it and transform it. Follow me not blindly, but with an open heart and mind as we unveil the world that exists right under your nose and explore practical ways to touch higher levels of consciousness through truth and knowledge.Support the showEpisodes are updated weekly.

Sacred feminine and masculine energies dance within each of us, shaping how we connect with others and ourselves. The Manhattan Prophet explores these sacred universal forces and illustrates how historical distortions have created widespread imbalance in our relationships and inner landscapes.Discover why masculine energy—the projective force of logic, structure, and direction—complements feminine energy's receptive nature of intuition, emotion, and creativity. Together, they form the blueprint of creation itself. Unfortunately, centuries of religious and patriarchal conditioning have severed our connection to this natural balance, leading us to romanticize unhealthy dynamics and mistake intensity for love.This episode peels back layers of cultural programming to reveal how ancient goddess worship gave way to male-dominated hierarchies that feared feminine power. The consequences? A hyper-masculinized world obsessed with productivity over presence, where both men and women struggle to embody their full energetic spectrum. We've glorified emotional detachment in men while reducing femininity to appearance and submission, creating partnerships built on wounds rather than wholeness.Aaron Scott offers practical wisdom to recognize these patterns in yourself and others. Learn to observe energy rather than judge behavior, understanding when someone is expressing wounded masculine control or feminine victimhood. Discover the signs of energetically balanced partners who inspire your best self rather than drain your spirit.True power comes not from dominance of one energy over another, but from harmony between them. By integrating both forces within, you'll naturally attract relationships that feel like home—where your partner's presence brings peace, not just stimulation. Ready to transform your relationships by first transforming yourself? This episode provides the roadmap for creating the sacred balance that leads to authentic connection.Episodes are updated weekly.

Corporations have systematically targeted our children through manipulative food engineering and marketing tactics, creating addictive patterns that shape habits for life. The Manhattan Prophet reveals how tobacco companies like Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds applied their expertise in addiction science to design ultra-processed foods specifically formulated to override natural satiety signals and maximize consumption.Research from the University of Kansas shows products owned by tobacco companies were significantly more likely to contain problematic levels of fat, sodium, and carbohydrates. These weren't just unhealthy choices—they were deliberately crafted to activate brain reward circuits similar to addictive substances. Through sophisticated marketing strategies including cartoon mascots, bright packaging, and flavor research, these corporations established early brand loyalty programs targeting our most vulnerable.Meanwhile, trusted health organizations have betrayed public trust through financial entanglements with the very companies they should be regulating. The American Heart Association opposed legislation restricting sugary drinks while accepting substantial funding from PepsiCo and Coca-Cola. Their heart-healthy certification program charges manufacturers thousands annually for endorsements—a clear conflict of interest undermining public well-being.Beyond food manipulation, we've accepted a post-war family structure designed for economic efficiency rather than nurturing development. The modern nuclear family separated fathers from children during critical developmental years and eventually sent mothers into the workforce too, leaving children's consciousness to be shaped by external influences. While most developed nations provide extended maternity leave recognizing the crucial importance of early attachment, the United States stands virtually alone in offering minimal support for new parents.This episode challenges you to critically examine the systems we've normalized and reclaim your power as parents. Our children deserve protection from corporate predation and ideological manipulation. By recognizing ourselves as spiritual beings in a material world, we can make conscious choices about our values and priorities, breaking free from systemic control to create lives that honor both material needs and spiritual well-being.What will it take for us to wake up and reclaim our children's future?

What if the technologies that could have transformed our world were deliberately buried? This eye-opening exploration reveals the systematic suppression of breakthrough innovations that once promised to liberate humanity from dependency on fossil fuels, pharmaceuticals, and centralized control.From the moment Nikola Tesla's vision of wireless free energy was shut down by JP Morgan's infamous question "Where do we put the meter?", a pattern of corporate sabotage against revolutionary technologies becomes disturbingly clear. The episode uncovers how compressed air vehicles, once competitive with gasoline cars, were systematically eliminated through the National City Lines Conspiracy. We trace Stanley Meyer's water-fueled engine development and mysterious death after claiming he was poisoned. Most shocking is Royal Raymond Rife's frequency medicine that reportedly cured terminal cancer patients before his laboratory was raided and his reputation destroyed.These weren't failed technologies—they were targeted because they worked too well, threatening profit models built on scarcity, extraction, and dependency. What connects these innovations wasn't just efficiency or sustainability, but their fundamental harmony with natural principles. They offered humanity a different relationship with energy, transportation, and healing—one based on abundance rather than artificial scarcity.Today, as environmental crisis looms, the same corporate powers that suppressed these technologies now profit from "green solutions" through carbon credits, greenwashing, and performative environmentalism. This isn't coincidence but strategy—a textbook example of problem-reaction-profit where those who created the crisis position themselves as saviors.The awakening begins by recognizing these patterns and understanding that reclaiming our technological heritage isn't just about machines, but about reconnecting with an evolved consciousness that sees humanity as part of nature, not separate from it. Ready to see the world through new eyes? This episode will transform how you understand innovation, progress, and our potential future.Support the showEpisodes are updated weekly.
