Summary

I talk with writer, author, and esoteric health practitioner ARE THORESEN.

The language of inevitability is upon us, and it is a cruel language, one that allows no discussion of freedom or our ability to direct things. The future - a terrible future - is filled with AI, the effects of climate crisis, fascisms, and wars. And our present - a terrible present - is only going to get worse.

In other words, we're given a unified picture of where we're going and what's happening and how to feel about all of it.

Of course, the language of inevitability can only show us relatively little. A narrow look at presumed (or manipulated) outcomes.

The future is as wide open as ever.
Difference and mutability is closer to the truth: whatever happens will happen differently, to different places, and to each and every one of us.

Why? Because material laws and spiritual laws flourish differently in each person's life. We all have our own levels and areas of understanding, aptitude, capacity, and education. We all express differing variations on one theme, but that theme is the cosmos.

This is the starting point for my conversation with occultist, veterinarian, and author, ARE THORSEN. Are has been on the show many times, most recently on AEWCH 243, when we talked about illness, health, and the end of materialism. Also on AEWCH 205 on Ragnarok, and AEWCH 116 on demonology & nothingness. His most recent books, The Four Doors and Fading and Merging are available via Amazon. Other recent books (which you can order via independent bookstore through the links here) include Meeting Michael: Further Communications from Spirit Worlds and Travels on the Northern Path of Initiation: Vidar and Baldur, the Three Elemental Realms and the Inner and Outer Etheric Worlds.

On this episode, we discuss the technique of connecting with the spiritual world, and more specifically why meditation isn't enough... we need to walk into the spiritual world. And how?

0:00.0	Most people meditate, but they don't walk.
0:05.9	I can compare it to our national habit in Norway, that is go touring, go walking in the forest or mountain.
0:17.9	And that consists of two parts.
0:20.1	You sit home and you pack your backpack. You find the shoes,
0:25.1	the clothes, you find food, you find the thermos with coffee or whatever. That is the usual meditation.
0:34.5	And most people do that. They sit inside their house and they pack their backpack again and again and again and again.
0:43.9	But they don't go out of the door.
0:47.7	Friends, that was writer, teacher, esotericist, acupuncturist, and veterinarian, Ari Torson. Ari's been on the show many times before,
0:58.1	and on this episode we talk a lot about the necessity of walking into the spiritual world,
1:04.3	what we find there, and different techniques to do that, why we all have to do that now.
1:11.2	I'm going to start this show off by talking a little bit about that sense of inevitability
1:17.7	that's bringing so many people dread right now, a feeling even of terror and anxiety,
1:25.0	and how everything bad that's happening seems to feel like it's coming, no matter what
1:30.6	we do, and how we have an opportunity to counter that by thinking about ourselves as individuals
1:38.0	when it comes to the spiritual life and even the material world and the material laws. First, though, friends, I
1:48.1	want to say at the top here, I always struggle with the fact that tens of thousands of people
1:54.0	listen to the show, millions of downloads since I started seven years ago, but that's so few,
1:59.5	less than a thousand people support the show on Patreon.
2:03.1	Patreon.com forward slash Connor Beep is where you can go to support the show. I think people know
2:08.2	the show is respected, that it has a great reach, and I also think that that leads people to
2:14.2	overestimate the support the show receives. I know this show has value
2:19.3	to you as a listener, so please do take a moment and support the show on Patreon now. If you feel
