Jason and Paul

Here is a summary of the conversation between Jason of Archaix and Paul Tice of Book Tree.

Introduction and The Letters
The broadcast begins with Jason introducing Paul Tice, the owner of Book Tree publishing. Jason describes Paul as a pivotal figure in his life, noting that while serving a lengthy prison sentence, he ordered hundreds of books from Paul’s catalog. Paul was the first to publish Jason's manuscripts.

The conversation opens with a surprise: Paul reveals he has kept a stack of correspondence from Jason dating back to 2002. These letters track the history of their relationship, starting with book orders and evolving into publishing proposals. Paul reads a 2002 query letter for a project titled Arcanum, which eventually became Jason’s book Lost Scriptures of Giza. The letter showcases Jason’s early, meticulous research style, arguing that the Great Pyramid was the world’s "oldest book," originally covered in inscriptions that birthed the world's major religious texts. Paul notes that he could not say no to the proposal because of the depth of research and the fact that Jason cited over 90 books, many of which were Book Tree reprints.

Prison Life and Self-Education
Jason provides context regarding his incarceration in Texas. He explains that his sentence was effectively extended due to retroactive laws passed under Governor George W. Bush, which removed "good time" credits. Realizing he would not be released early, Jason decided to "do time his way," dedicating himself entirely to reading and writing.

He describes a unique advantage he had: Texas prisons often received book donations from defunct libraries dating back to the early 20th century. This gave Jason access to obscure, pre-censorship historical texts and encyclopedias that modern researchers rarely see. He emulated Pliny the Elder by taking obsessive notes, which his father archived in an attic for over two decades. This archive became the foundation of the Archaix channel.

The Prophecy
Paul reads a poignant letter from 2006 wherein Jason predicts his future. Writing from his cell, Jason describes a spiritual awakening where he realized he was an "entity encased in mortal trappings." He predicted that upon his release, he would launch a ministry to "wake up" those in spiritual slumber and challenge established narratives. Paul and Jason reflect on how accurately this letter predicted the current success of the Archaix community, with the only failed prediction being Jason's fear that he might die before age 50.

Paul’s Adventures: Sitchin, Sedona, and Egypt
The conversation shifts to Paul’s experiences in the alternative history field. Paul shares photos from his travels, including his time as the personal videographer for Zecharia Sitchin. They discuss Sitchin’s legacy, agreeing that while Sitchin made errors regarding the Sumerian "Shar" (misinterpreting days for years), his impact was undeniable.

Paul shares photos from Sedona, Arizona, taken 30 to 40 years ago, showing "laser lines" cut into the rock face—an anomaly pointed out to him by a CIA operative named Virgil Armstrong. They also discuss an adventure in Egypt where Paul and a companion paid a local guide to let them illegally climb the Great Pyramid at night. Despite Jason having a severe leg infection at the time, he climbed the monument. They were eventually caught by guards but released. Paul also shares a rare photo taken inside a tunnel between the paws of the Sphinx, showing a bricked-up wall that suggests hidden chambers.

Spiritual Philosophy and New Books
The dialogue moves toward spirituality. Jason discusses his upcoming book, Empower the Immortal Within, which is a compilation of his most profound spiritual teachings from the last five years of videos. Paul praises the book as a "next level" follow-up to Awaken the Immortal Within.

Paul also promotes his own book, Triumph of the Human Spirit. He explains the central thesis: humans are "traveling light"—spiritual beings currently inhabiting avatars. He argues that throughout history, individuals like Joan of Arc changed the world not through armies, but through spiritual passion. Both men agree that the ultimate goal of their work is to snap people out of the "sleepwalking" state of modern existence.

Conclusion
The show concludes with plans for the future. Jason announces a new initiative to help viewers catch up on his research: "Archaix Intel," a playlist of his original data dumps with the "fluff" edited out for rapid consumption. Paul and Jason agree to collaborate on a future presentation focused specifically on spiritual awakening. The broadcast ends with mutual expressions of gratitude, cementing their relationship not just as author and publisher, but as long-term friends and spiritual allies.
