    Episode 16: Lost Civilizations & Cycles of Time with Aleksander Czeszkiewicz
    Jan 9 2026

    Is history moving forward… or returning?

    Aleksander Czeszkiewicz joins Dr. Heather Lynn to challenge everything we think we know about civilization, consciousness, and progress.

    In this episode, they explore whether history unfolds in a straight line or follows recurring cycles that modern society has forgotten. Drawing from archaeology, philosophy, and alternative historiography, this conversation examines what may lie beneath the official narrative of human development.

    Topics include:

    • Why Atlantis may represent preserved Egyptian memory rather than pure myth
    • Göbekli Tepe and the expanding timeline of human civilization
    • How political systems shape, revise, and sanitize history
    • Why textbooks keep changing across generations and regimes
    • Consciousness as a fundamental substrate of reality
    • Whether artificial intelligence can ever be truly conscious, or only simulate awareness

    Aleksander Czeszkiewicz is a Polish researcher and author. His first book was written just at the age of 17, followed by many articles and shorter works. He collaborated and was included in plenty of podcasts all around the world, including Earth Ancients Podcast with Cliff Dunning. His main areas of research and interest are lost civilizations, Atlantis, lost history of humanity, consciousness and the entire Universe.

    Aleksander's book Déjà Vu: Has Everything Already Been? explores cyclical time, lost civilizations, and why ancient traditions may have anticipated our current moment.

  • Episode 15: The Anunnaki & the God of Blood with R. Wayne Steiger

    Episode 15: The Anunnaki & the God of Blood with R. Wayne Steiger
    Nov 23 2025

    How does a former Pentecostal minister end up tracing Abraham back to Sumer, questioning the nature of Yahweh, and arguing that the “God of Genesis” may not be a single being at all? In this episode of The Midnight Academy, I sit down with technologist and esoteric researcher R. Wayne Steiger for a conversation that goes straight into forbidden territory: the violent logic of blood covenant, the suppressed memory of Mesopotamia, and the possibility that ancient “gods” were neither metaphor nor myth, but intelligences entangled in a long-running civil war that still shapes our religions today.

    Wayne brings an unusually grounded but fearless lens to these questions. He is a technologist, philosopher, researcher, educator, and spiritual teacher known for decades of work in occult and esoteric studies, as well as for examining how artificial intelligence is reshaping humanity’s spiritual landscape. With over forty years of experience in video, internet, software, and wireless payment technologies, he understands the mechanics of systems and control from the inside out, and he applies that systems-level clarity to theology, archaeology, and consciousness. The result is a conversation that is not polite, not safe, and very much worth your time.

    We discuss why Genesis appears to present two different creation accounts with two different divine personalities, what it means that Abraham’s covenant is rooted in literal bloodletting, and why Sumer’s erased legacy complicates every tidy Biblical timeline. From the Nephilim and demonology to the Tower of Babel as a possible technological intervention, from the suppression of goddess traditions to the rise of AI as a subscription-based “new god,” this episode is a deep dive into the architecture of belief and the forces behind it.

    Topics we cover include:

    * Abraham’s Mesopotamian origins and the problem of the blood covenant

    * Two Gods in Genesis and the fracture in the creation story

    * The Nephilim, giants, and the missing thread of demonology in the Old Testament

    * Sumer, Shinar, Babylon, and the scale of historical erasure

    * The Tower of Babel as intervention, not parable

    * Blood ritual, communion, and why so many religions center sacrifice

    * AI as an emergent religious force and the future of worship

    If you want more of Wayne’s work, you can find him on YouTube at @RWayneSteiger. His channel is dedicated to philosophical exploration across multiple points of view, not confined to any creed, doctrine, religion, or political belief system, and always in pursuit of knowledge. If you are a critical thinker, you will find plenty there to challenge you. If dogma is your comfort zone, you might not enjoy it.

    Episode 14: DMT Entities & Contact with David Jay Brown and Sara Phinn Huntley
    Nov 7 2025
    In this episode of The Midnight Academy, we explore DMT entities, ayahuasca visions, and the frontiers of consciousness through the lens of modern psychedelic research and visionary art. This is The Illustrated Field Guide to DMT Entities, a detailed map of the beings most often encountered in altered states. The guide explores 25 entities frequently reported in DMT and ayahuasca experiences, including machine elves, insectoids like mantids, tricksters, and divine figures such as Gaia, Grandmother Ayahuasca, and the Virgin Mary. Through vivid reports, cross-cultural symbolism, and stunning art, it offers a grounded look into the patterns, messages, and intelligence found in these altered realms. Today, we’re speaking with the creators of this guide about what these encounters reveal about human consciousness, the nature of reality, and the boundaries between psychology, mysticism, and metaphysics. GUESTS Sara Phinn Huntley Sara Phinn Huntley is an artist, writer, and researcher whose work has explored the intersection of psychedelics, technology, and philosophy for the past two decades, pushing her understanding into pioneering VR mediums for psychedelic exploration and research. An intrepid DMT psychonaut and cartographer of hyperspace, her current focus involves using VR to explore representative visual and spatial imagination in real time—and the subsequent remapping of the brain that occurs. Her past work has utilized a multimedium and multidisciplinary approach to document and explore the states revealed by dimethyltryptamine and other psychedelics, and cargo cult higher-dimensional artifacts through the intersection of chaos mathematics, Islamic geometry, and 3D diagrammatic performance capture. Her work has been published by the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), featured in Diana Reed Slattery’s Xenolinguistics, and most recently, in The Illustrated Field Guide to DMT Entities with David Jay Brown. David Jay Brown David Jay Brown is the author of Dreaming Wide Awake: Lucid Dreaming, Shamanic Healing, and Psychedelics and The New Science of Psychedelics: At the Nexus of Culture, Consciousness, and Spirituality. He’s also the coauthor of seven bestselling interview anthologies featuring leading-edge thinkers, including Mavericks of the Mind, Voices from the Edge, Conversations on the Edge of the Apocalypse, Mavericks of Medicine, Frontiers of Psychedelic Consciousness, Women of Visionary Art, and Psychedelics and the Coming Singularity. In addition to nonfiction, Brown is the author of two science fiction novels (Brainchild and Virus) and the coauthor of the health-science book Detox with Oral Chelation. He holds a master’s degree in psychobiology from New York University, and contributed research to two of Rupert Sheldrake’s books on unexplained phenomena: Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home and The Sense of Being Stared At. His writing has appeared in Wired, Discover, Scientific American, and many other publications. He also served as Senior Editor for a special themed edition of the MAPS Bulletin (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies). Currently, Brown is developing an oracle deck with Sara Phinn Huntley for Inner Traditions, based on Timothy Leary’s 8-Circuit Model of Consciousness—and inspired by the DMT entities explored in their fieldwork. 📘 Book Link: The Illustrated Field Guide to DMT Entities on Amazon SPONSOR The Midnight Academy is Sponsored by Acre Gold Most people still imagine that gold is something reserved for the wealthy.
