Through A Glass Darkly is where the paranormal meets military science fiction and fact. I interview national security professionals, historians, writers, and other content creators on everything within the current cultural zeitgeist and beyond...
My four key areas of interest are: 1) geopolitics; 2) writing; 3) the paranormal, particularly where it intersects with geopolitics and national security; and 4) my journey using this channel and other revenue streams to become financially independent within five years (i.e., by the end of 2026).

Do the Watchers Guard the Plasma Gates? | R.A. Castaldo
1w ago00:57:04Tap to summarizeR.A. Castaldo discusses the Watchers, the Grigori, Italian mysticism, plasma cosmology, and the hidden spiritual architecture of the universe. Castaldo frames the Watchers not merely as fallen angels, but as higher-density beings of light connected to stars, suns, gateways, ritual circles, and the cosmic order. The conversation moves through the Nephilim, Etruscan and Sanskrit traditions, precognitive dreams, caul births, astral warfare, Carlo Ginzburg’s The Night Battles, and the idea that Earth’s magnetosphere functions as a vast portal or afterlife landscape.For early access to videos & a private discord server, to help build the channel, & to support it, sign up here.

Remote Viewing the Dead | Ryan Kralik
1w ago00:52:16Tap to summarizeRyan Kralik returns to Through A Glass Darkly for a deep dive into remote viewing, consciousness, and the strange emotional power of accessing nonlocal information. Ryan recounts his training with Lori Williams and Dr. Paul H. Smith. He also shares a profound remote viewing session in Utah involving a canyon connected to Indigenous North American history, a target that challenged his analytical worldview and left him with a new sense of humility about consciousness, psi, and the limits of human understanding. The conversation explores remote viewing methodology, bilocation, emotional data, music as symbolic information, the future of remote viewing, UAPs, information-first reality, and why Ryan believes remote viewing may help bridge science and mystery.For early access to videos & a private discord server, to help build the channel, & to support it, sign up here.

Is Reality Made of Information? | Ryan Kralik
2w ago00:49:11Tap to summarizeRyan Kralik explores his theories of reality from It From Us, an information-first framework that rethinks reality, consciousness, remote viewing, UAPs, precognition, retrocausality, religion, and anomalous entities. Kralik argues that information—not matter or spacetime—may be the deeper substrate of reality, and that consciousness may function as an interface capable of querying or influencing that substrate. From remote viewing experiments and UAP “rule editing” to probabilistic futures and the strange overlap between aliens, religious experiences, and psi phenomena, this episode examines whether reality is less like a machine and more like an evolving informational process.For early access to videos & a private discord server, to help build the channel, & to support it, sign up here.
