What happens when a five-time degree holder, aerospace engineer, and lifelong student of the Mystery Schools sits across from you and tells you that magic and science are the same thing? You lean in — because he can prove it.
Phil Catalano, known simply as "The Wizard," brings one of the most fascinating dual perspectives I've encountered through the Veil. With degrees spanning parapsychology, psychology, anthropology, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering — and a career that took him from NASA to JPL — Phil has spent over 60 years with a foot firmly planted in both the material world and the esoteric one. His father steered him into engineering to earn a living. Sister Helen, back in Catholic school, pointed him toward miracles. He never let go of either.
In this conversation, we explore how quantum entanglement is just the scientific world finally catching up to what the metaphysical world has always called bonding, why plasma — the fourth state of matter — may be the long-sought bridge between the physical and the etheric, and how everything, truly everything, is connected through a vast matrix of threads we are only just beginning to follow.
Phil shares his deep study of the Mystery Schools — the Golden Dawn, OTO, Rosicrucians, Freemasons, BOTA — alongside his work with ancient wisdom traditions, including the thousands-of-years-documented Taoist understanding of natural energies that Western science is only now beginning to quantify.
We also go deep into the big questions: Who is managing this planet, and why? Are ETs the good guys, the bad guys, or both? Why have we lost so much ancient knowledge — and was it taken from us deliberately? What does it mean that cliff drawings clearly show ETs living among us as part of society? And what happens when we die — is there even such a thing?
Phil is a teacher, craftsman, engineer, and shaman drum-maker who has helped over 500 people build their own ceremonial drums. He is generous with what he knows, passionate about what he is still discovering, and absolutely certain of one thing: we always have been able to move forward. We always do.
PHIL CATALANO, THE WIZARD
Phil Catalano's background is remarkably interdisciplinary. He holds five Bachelor of Science degrees from the University of Massachusetts and other universities in multidisciplinary fields, including Parapsychology, Anthropology, Psychology, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. An Aerospace Engineer by profession, Phil has worked with NASA/JPL, Lockheed Martin, Ball Aerospace, Boeing, Raytheon, and other major aerospace organizations.
Alongside his scientific career, he has spent more than 60 years studying metaphysical and paranormal subjects, including work with Mystery Schools, Alchemy, Ancient Wisdom traditions, Occult Sciences, and ET/UFO research and investigations. Phil's unique integration of science, engineering, and esoteric studies offers a rare and compelling perspective on how all things are interconnected.
