Let’s transform money, starting today: By supporting Against Everyone with Conner Habib through patreon, you’re not paying me for my labor, you’re showing appreciation for what this show is and who I am in the world. It’s a way to give that isn’t about work or a fee.

So I ask listeners, if they like the show, to give a one-time annual or monthly pledge to Patreon.com/connerhabib to support this all.

AGAINST EVERYONE WITH CONNER HABIB IS EXCLUSIVELY FUNDED BY LISTENERS. There is no other money coming into this podcast, since advertisements from sponsors don’t fit with the mission of AEWCH.

Friends,

I’m sure you’ve asked yourself what you can do in a time like this, and whether or not spirituality has anything to offer beyond just an often fleeting sense of calm.

In times of obvious schisms between human beings and their structures there can be a stirring-up of opportunities that only the frenetic and urgent intensities schism times can reveal. In these times, we can see that there have always been many pathways available to us, that we were stuck, that we can be there for each other and dissolve obstruction.

The old tools – that is, the tools we used to employ in a world that did NOT have the same challenges – can still help, but they’ve lost their strength. That includes psychoanalysis for personal development, socialism for economic development, and progressivism as political development.

On this episode, I invited my friend and listener favorite, spiritual writer and teacher, LISA ROMERO onto to the show to answer, esoterically, the classic revolutionary question: What is to be done?

Lisa has been on the show five other times, most recently on AEWCH 224. She’s the author of many books, including Spirit-led Community: Healing the Impact of Technology and A Bridge to Spirit: Understanding Conscious Self-Development and Consciousness-Altering Substances.

Instead of offering vague “just be spiritual!” advice, we try to understand the world situation and see what we can do to approach it spiritually.

In conjunction with this episode here, both Lisa and I are offering upcoming courses. Mine is called OCCULT PHILOSOPHIES: AN INTRO TO RUDOLF STEINER AND THE WESTERN ESOTERIC TRADITION, and Lisa’s is PREPARING FOR THE CHRISTMAS MYSTERIES. Description below.

MORE ON LISA
Lisa is offers courses on the festivals throughout the year. The one happening just after this episode posts is on St. John’s Tide. You can find all that info here. You can also work with Lisa one-on-one here. And if you’d like to check into some of Lisa’s other books, they’re all on here site, where she also has a short audio clip detailing the books and her work. Lisa has also been on the Duncan Trussell Family Hour, my pal Duncan Trussell’s podcast.

The description:

Anthroposophy (wisdom of the human being or being human) offers an initiation path to everyone regardless of gender, race or social standing. It is a schooling that we choose today, but it is also a schooling that leads into the future because the future initiations are moving towards being inclusive to all people who seek it. Sophia is a wisdom that is whole and not a “masculine or feminine” wisdom. Rather, it is a wholeness that develops and heals the soul, helping to make whole our life and the life around us.

In our preparation for the Christmas mysteries we will deepen how with the help of Sophia we can birth the new into our lives and the life of the world. We will also explore working with the holy nights towards supporting the year ahead. As the material world rapidly brings into being more and more ways of mechanising our lives,  increasingly drawing humanity away from the spirit, we can helpfully participate in bringing the beacon of divine spiritual light into the life sphere. No matter how dark it gets, the beacon of light needs to be present so that all may have awareness that there is a choice, there is hope!

Starting the first weekend in December and running for 4 weeks, this preparation is open for anyone to join so that together we may help tend and cultivate the light and love in the world.
