Against Everyone with Conner Habib

Is peace possible? If so, is it possible or even okay to find it in a time of extreme conflict and violence? Is it ethical to work towards your personal goals in a time of crisis? I look at this from a spiritual perspective on the first episode of the year.

I talk with visionary artist and front person of Lungfish, musician Daniel Higgs about friendship, perceiving spiritual beings in a spiritual landscape, the way a presence appears in the middle of a concert, and the role trust plays in relationship and creating art.

Political philosopher of empires and subversions, Michael Hardt returns to the show to discuss how to walk on water when we're drowning.

Srećko Horvat, visionary philosopher, talks with Conner Habib about leading a good life, rethinking education, autonomy, and navigating life with integrity. They explore the Island School of Social Autonomy, living in urban areas during the pandemic, and the need for holistic approaches to environmental changes. They also discuss creating a collective inner city, embracing amateurism, and finding fulfillment in the present moment.

Esoteric expert, Lisa Romero, explores the esoteric answer to the question of our time and discusses concentration of power and wealth, the meaning of Christmas mysteries, placing aspects of humanity outside of ourselves, the importance of wisdom and love, freedom and self-reflection, peaceful responses to violence, seeking inwardly and finding peace, and the path of anthropology and connection to world development.

Norwegian occultist acupuncturist veterinarian, Are Thoresen, discusses the shortcomings of materialism and explores topics such as Norse mythology, healing traditions, Christian mysteries, and science. They reflect on the importance of welcoming disease as a result of karma and delve into the lack of morality in politics. The interconnectedness of culture, politics, and economics is explored, as well as power dynamics in relationships and a new approach to healing. VEDAR, the guardian angel, is also discussed.

I turn to my favorite money-worker, Pilar Lesko, for a spiritual perspective on quantities, financial integrity, and spiritualizing money beyond "abundance."

I talk with Duncan Barford and Alan Chapman - authors of the Baptist's Head trilogy and co-hosts of the WORP FM spirituality/magick/paranormal podcast - bout misunderstanding magick, spiritual development, and practice...and how to re-connect to destiny and peace.

I talk with scholar and author Mitch Horowitz about why the occult matters in a time of chaos. We talk about the radical possibilities it might offer today, the ethics (and the unethical) of esotericism, and more.

I talk with my favorite live singer, Nina Persson of The Cardigans, about earworms, songs we sing at home, the power of singing, and more in the third episode in my series of eps on musicians talking about music.
