You’ve heard of Dumbledore. But have you ever met the Metaphysician?

In this episode, we compare two of the most iconic mentor figures in fantasy: Albus Dumbledore of Harry Potter and the Metaphysician—from Phillip Aisling. While both guide young heroes into hidden worlds, their philosophies couldn’t be more different. One teaches in a castle. The other teaches in dreams.

We explore how Dumbledore operates within an ancient institution, while the Metaphysician meets Phillip in a dream on his 13th birthday and later hands him not a wand—but a gold coin. Instead of spells, Phillip learns lucidity, emotional mastery, and dimensional drift. Instead of fate, he’s taught free will.

Get ready for a deep dive into mentorship, multiversal philosophy, magical objects, and what it truly means to guide a hero toward awakening.

Spoiler warning: We reveal the Metaphysician’s true name from Book 1 early in the episode. If you haven’t finished it yet, you may want to pause and come back later.
