What happens when ancient mysticism meets the future of warfare? 🧠⚔️

In this episode of Break The Rules, Lev Polyakov is joined by Ryan Cropper — known for his deep dives into astral projection and out-of-body experiences — and The Warrior Philosopher, who brings a critical futurist and martial perspective. Together they explore whether “spiritual technologies” like astral projection could play a role in preparing warriors of the future.

Is astral projection merely a metaphor for mental mastery, or an actual frontier of consciousness exploration?

How does Traditionalism, Evola, and even Dune’s concept of the trained elite intersect with modern neurotech, genetic enhancement, and psychic research?

We’ll dig into:

🔹 The overlap between ancient initiation and modern military psychology

🔹 “Inner war” vs. “outer war” — what real discipline looks like

🔹 The possibility of astral projection as reconnaissance or “remote viewing”

🔹 Whether the next evolution of the warrior class is spiritual, biological, or both.
