Light Against Empire - The Podcast
Welcome to Light Against Empire – the Podcast—part reckoning, part resistance. If you've ever felt the chill of rising power dressed as patriotism, you're not imagining it. We confront the spectacle, expose the performance, and hold a torch to the machinery of modern empire—while listening closely to the echoes of those who once brought empires down.

The Thousand Altars: Spirituality in an Age of Isolation
Why You Should Listen
We live in a world where the chapel is in your pocket, the priest is an algorithm, and silence comes packaged as an app feature. For many, this isn’t just a convenience—it’s the only way they engage with the sacred anymore. But what happens when faith is no longer inherited or communal, but personalized, private, self-curated?
This essay wrestles with the strange beauty and the real risks of digital spirituality. From livestreamed communion to VR temples, from curated Bibles to playlists of Rumi and Stoic meditations, we are building a new sacred landscape—one that’s intimate, fractured, and still unfinished.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your meditation app is a chapel, or whether a million glowing screens can add up to something holy, this is a reflection for you.
