About This Substack
Welcome. I'm Jacob Kyle—philosopher, yoga practitioner, meditation teacher, and lifelong student of esoteric wisdom traditions.
This is my personal space for unfiltered writing, deep explorations, and ongoing philosophical investigations. Here, you'll get direct access to my thoughts, research, and reflections that don't always fit into the structured containers of Embodied Philosophy, Tarka Journal, or my other work.
Who I Am
I've spent my academic and professional life pursuing knowledge across philosophical, contemplative, and spiritual traditions. With advanced degrees from Oxford, the New School for Social Research, and the London School of Economics, I've cultivated a rigorous yet practice-based approach to exploring contemplative knowledge and the ongoing mysteries of consciousness.
As the founder of Embodied Philosophy, I've invested significant time and energy to making complex wisdom traditions accessible. But this Substack is something different—it's more intimate, more personal, more experimental.
