It is both mysterious and seemingly unknowable as to its ways and processes. It is called many names by many peoples across many continents—even unto the remotest places of the world. It is the spiritual connection to something greater than ourselves that lay dormant in the hearts of all mankind. It awaits our discovery and uncovering of all its brilliance. It speaks to the soul of man through his very heartbeat. It sends messages of Light through the Mind of man. It communicates through the still small voice within us. And we likewise, may also communicate with “The Divine.” This very REAL relationship is of an internal Nature, though its reflection in the outer world is of an external Nature. It is the thinking of “The Divine” that creates Nature itself. It is the thinking of “The Divine” that creates Man himself. And man creates likewise from the forms made by the Creator—the Formless Former of Forms. God gives to man all the materials of creation for his own creating. Matter is the Universal Mind of the Creator expressed in dynamic rhythms of the Creator’s thinking. We see it through our electric senses and ponder its beauty through our knowing minds. The ecstasy of “The Divine,” is translated by man for the glory of man, that he may come to know within himself, his own divinity, which uplifts him in kind and brings him closer to God. For man is not merely flesh and blood, he is mind and spirit. “The Divine” awaits man patiently. “All men will come to me in due time. But theirs is the agony of awaiting.” ~Walter Bowman Russell Matt Presti Bassist | Keyboardist | Vocalist  Link to Episode 3 - https://mattpresti.substack.com/p/reflections-on-the-secret-of-light-92f For this episode, I cover Part 1, Chapter 3 - “Sensation And Consciousness.” References: The Secret of Light - https://philosophy-org.myshopify.com/products/the-secret-of-light?sca_ref=9672940.AjkIzU6QoPRVbQS0 The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe - https://philosophy-org.myshopify.com/products/the-man-who-tapped-the-secrets-of-the-universe?sca_ref=9672940.AjkIzU6QoPRVbQS0 The Message of the Divine Iliad - https://philosophy-org.myshopify.com/products/the-message-of-the-divine-iliad-two-volume-set?sca_ref=9672940.AjkIzU6QoPRVbQS0 For more on magnetism, see the following video here: The Electric Nature of Magnets - https://mattpresti.substack.com/i/179436528/tec-unit-the-electric-nature-of-magnets Thank you to all Substack paid subscribers for making this series possible.

Featuring Jen Ven, a full-time researcher of fringe subjects, she survived multiple near death experiences and overcame quadriplegic paralysis conditions with but the unrelenting focus of her mind—defying all her doctors predictions that she would never walk again. We discuss the nature of those experiences and how being “conscious of consciousness” itself was nonelective to said experiences. We also discuss the medical establishment’s “consensus” error protocols and diagnoses, and how “believing” and “following the science” could be a massive limitation or death sentence. This conversation will prove to be highly interesting regarding the journey into death and the MIND behind matter. Recorded 11/15/2025. Runtime 73 minutes.

Authentic | Inspiring | Original In this third edition of the Truth Warrior Roundtable, we sit down with David Whitehead and Matt Presti to tackle one of the most turbulent moments in recent memory — the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the shockwaves it sent through the “truth” community. We break down the reactions on both the left and the right, the flood of conspiracy claims surrounding the event, and how Israel once again became a central point of debate in the aftermath. This conversation goes beyond headlines to address the deeper war on consciousness itself — why people struggle to hold uncertainty, the consequences of irresponsible speech, the role of faith and resilience in times of tragedy, and how to stay grounded in evidence and individualism rather than clickbait and emotional manipulation. 👉🏽 Watch Now: https://hereforthetruth.com/episode263 Matt Presti Father | Grandfather | Patriot

Balance | Caring | Purpose In my journeys I have found that emotions are transmutable. Of course they are. Not only that, but writing as an exercise can transmute pain into comfort, sorrow into joy—and vice-versa. By my own hand, I’ve played the role of hero of the tragedy, the villain of the epic, and simultaneously the chronicler of their stories. I have tasted the bitter cup of failure, and also the sweet drink of success. Every now and then, one must go through trials, tribulations and tests. . .

Artist | Musician | Philosopher  Tonight on Veritas - with Mel Hostalrich (July 31st, 2025)... our special guest is Matt Presti. https://veritas7.com/guests/2025/07jul/VS-250731-mpresti.php You are about to hear one of the most vulnerable and electrifying testimonies we have ever featured on this program. A man who quite literally died and came back to tell us what he saw. What followed was not just a spiritual awakening. It was a complete reengineering of self. Guided by the electrifying principles of Walter Russell's natural science and living philosophy. Matt Presti, once a struggling musician plagued by unresolved trauma and misaligned desire, would transform through fire, forgiveness, and ferocious discipline into the President of the University of Science and Philosophy, a broadcaster, poet, teacher, and now CEO. What he discovered is as ancient as creation. The primal force that animates every atom, thought, and desire in the universe. And few ever come to understand it. In this intimate conversation, Matt shares the path from misused sex energy and unconscious patterns, to a clear and awakened understanding of what it means to live a life of balance, beauty, and boundless creativity. He argues that we are each responsible for our own heaven or our own hell. That every act of relationship is an act of cosmic electricity. And that civilizations rise or fall based on how we honor this principle. From near death revelation to a tuna sandwich at the Divine Cafe, this story is filled with synchronicities that defy coincidence. And wisdom that will challenge you to rewire your deepest assumptions. This conversation stands as a masterclass in how to become who you really are. Matt Presti Human | Musician | Producer
Matt welcomes Courtenay Turner to the show. We discuss her new article, “The Phoenix Conspiracy,” which details the growth and emergence of the dystopian techno-feudal world empire, the players, the names of the organizations and their goals/movements. These seemingly separate entities are actually working in tandem to bring about their demented dream of trans-humanism, tokenization of every aspect of life, a master corporation (to rule them all) and a dark enlightenment populated by “techno-plastic beings” aka former human beings via neocameralism.
You don’t want to miss this riveting episode which details the rise of the technocratic dystopian science-fiction nightmare world and what the American Constitutional Republic, and humanity in general, must do to counter it.

Featuring Tom Reiss, former bass player for The Bel-Tones and the Pepsi-Tones (St. Louis, MO). He is currently a professional pyrotechnician, fireworks display operator and shooter. We discuss all things music with his previous gig in the 1960’s and the state of rock-n-roll from that generation—a rare look into an era which defined the music of the coming decades. We also discuss fireworks and pyrotechnica as a profession and an art, what it takes to get licensed, handling fireworks safely, training, working on scene for a display, and finally, sharing some footage of actual displays we’ve done working together over the last three years.

Rob is a talented guitarist, producer and recording engineer from Cary, North Carolina who co-founded Order of the One (OOTO for short), a new prog rock/metal duo (and soon to be trio) inspired by Dream Theater and Rush. The project is deeply rooted in Self-Actualization Principles, Metascience, Philosophy, Psychology, History and Hermetics as well as a genuine love for music and performance from the heart.
