Altrusian Grace Media
Welcome to Altrusian Grace Media on YouTube. I’m Matthew Schmitz, audiobook narrator and musician.
This channel focuses on ancient, rare, or obscure texts not readily accessible to the public with a focus on Gnostic, Alchemical, and Hermetic traditions. Some of the books are rarely read or even heard of since they were first published. I breathe new life into them not only with my unique narrative style but also by adding music compositions which help to create a relaxed atmosphere for the listener, making it easier to absorb information presented. In addition to the original narrations, you'll find the various music projects that I am involved in such as Psyclopean, Sleestak, Illuminated Void, etc.
Thank you for watching, and I truly hope you find my channel worthwhile to explore.

Out today on AltrusianGrace.com and Bandcamp! And quick reminder, if you purchase from the AGM website - 100% goes to me (No other platform takes a cut!).
Into A New Dark Age is the 22nd 'official' album by Psyclopean. While the single song featured here remains embedded in a minimalist nature, the textures, atmosphere, and aesthetic capture a new subtle complexity. This pulls the patient listener into a state of ebb and flow with brief moments of adrenaline-pumping cosmic madness.

Spotify, YouTube, etc. coming soon!
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
-H.P. Lovecraft, "The Call Of Cthulhu"

EDIT: UPDATE! - That was quick. They released the claims (it was 5 total copyright claims). Thank you everyone for the support! If you stand in truth, everything else falls to the wayside. A note to YouTube: fix your damn system. It causes unjust, unwarranted stress and anxiety.

So I finished my recording and video of the New Testament. I uploaded it. THEN @PenguinRandomHouse immediately puts a copyright claim on MY ORIGINAL HUMAN-NARRATED RECORDING. It has currently been blocked worldwide here on YouTube. I have submitted an appeal. This is part of the broken system here on YouTube, which wrongfully gives @PenguinRandomHouse all the power to control the visibility of my original content. PLEASE, pray for me in this situation. I am not going to take this lying down - I worked too hard on this and am ready to go to court if need be.

Just a quick update - We will begin the new year with an 8-episode series of Rudolf Steiner's A Road To Self Knowledge. Following that we have some really good stuff including offerings by Dion Fortune, Nostradamus, Kahlil Gibran, and my reading of the New Testament. 2026 is going to be a year of much wisdom and knowledge! Please join us and make sure to hit that bell to get notified when new videos are released! And if you haven't yet.....please visit and sign up to the newsletter for major announcements at the new home of AGM - altrusiangrace.com/
Thank you all, and wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous NEW YEAR!
