On this week’s episode we follow our guide Heka Astra into the rarely explored yet vitally important philosophical conundrum of what it means to be free and if such a thing is even possible by exploring turn of the century occultist Rudolph Steiner’s seminal classic on the subject, “The Philosophy of Freedom” which to the delight of the spiritually minded explains in, albeit exhaustive detail, the inner and outer workings of perception, will, thought and if or even how we may express our SUPPOSED God given right to freedom.  In the free side of the show we discuss what freedom even is, if it has anything to with choice (or not) and what Will has to do with the suit of wands in the Tarot. In the extended show we discuss the formation of the ego, the effect observation has on both light and our thoughts (we even yell about physics for a while) and the esoteric symbolism of the sword in the Hermetic tradition as it pertains to Steiner’s explanation of thought. Thank you everybody and enjoy the show.

This episode was written by Heka Astra with additional research and commentary by Luke Madrid and Mari Sama.
