In this episode, we speak with author and expert Mitch Horowitz to explore the realms of esotericism, hermetica and the occult, while also attempting to understand how these worlds intersect with ufology and the broader search for NHI. Are they different ways of trying to describe the same reality?
Horowitz explains how he views reality, and how that view includes an invisible, nonmaterial realm that parallels our own. We discuss the limits of physicalism as an ontology, and the progress being made in science and elsewhere to flip that script and achieve a new consensus around a more complicated, post-material worldview.
What is magic? How important is the use of ritual in its practice? What kinds of magic are the most efficacious? How does the use of magic for personal gain contrast with a purely spiritual practice? Is one more pure than the other? How do these relate – or not – to the so-called law of attraction?
Were the secret masters of Blavatsky an alien intelligence, or are they highly developed discarnate human spirits? Alistair Crowley’s Aiwass? Is there any difference between alien and spirit?
Given the enthusiasm with which many experts and commentators claim connection to the wisdom of the ancients, is there any truth to that relationship? Or is that link only connecting us to an imaginary, modern creation based on partial records and wishful thinking?
We also discuss Horowitz’s most recent book, “Modern Occultism,” and use it as a leaping off point for the discussion.
