Hey everyone, in today's episode I'm sharing a two+ hour conversation I had recently with Christian pastor Ben Bessett. For years, he has been interested in trying to understand the perspective of the Esoteric or Occult side of religion. He states clearly that he believes we are on opposite sides of the spectrum in terms of our religious beliefs, but he was very courteous in our conversation and I really enjoyed talking with him. Hopefully, down the road we can do a follow-up chat.

Note: I begin the podcast with a rather longwinded tale of my backstory and how I got into studying esoteric philosophy. I haven’t talked about this much on my channel so I decided to leave it in.

Thank you Ben for the conversation and for allowing me to post it. I hope you all enjoy and benefit from it in some way.
