In this episode, D.H. Thorne offers a no-holds-barred discussion on magick, consciousness, and the power of belief. Grounded in non-dual philosophy and deeply influenced by Vedanta, Zen, and Alan Watts, Thorne challenges the separation between self and spirit, waking life and ritual.
“The ego thinks it has free will; the Self knows it is the will.”
“You are not the character—you are the author dreaming the story into form.”
Lucifer as Archetype: Lucifer is not a historical figure but a living symbol of rebellion, inner truth, and sovereign individuation across cultures and myths.
The Illusion of Ego: What we call “self” is a dream construct. The real “I” is formless consciousness experiencing through that mask.
Imagination as Sacred Function: Imagination is not delusion—it is the astral faculty through which nature dreams itself. All transformation begins there.
Magick as Spiritual Yoga: Ritual magick aligns body, mind, and archetypal self, not to command reality but to participate in its deeper current.
Spirits Are Mirrors: Entities like Lucifer or Mephistopheles reflect aspects of our own psyche and potential. True invocation is integration.
Non-Dual Consciousness: There is no separation between self and spirit, cause and effect, action and outcome—only layers of dreaming.
Miracles as Synchronicity: What we call miracles are synchronicities—the natural consequence of aligning inner will with the archetypal field.
“True magick begins when you stop trying to control reality and begin participating in its unfolding.”
“Lucifer does not grant you freedom. He demands that you claim it yourself.”
He begins by dismantling the illusion of individuality—suggesting that “you” are a character in a dream being dreamt by a deeper, non-local consciousness. Spirits, gods, and demons, then, are not “external” entities but archetypal constructs—alive, sentient, and powerful, but no more or less “real” than the self.
Lucifer is reframed not as the Christian devil but as a rebellious archetype representing self-liberation, transformation, and divine individuation. Magick is presented as a kind of spiritual yoga, not about bending the world to one’s will, but aligning consciousness with an already-flowing current of synchronicity.
Thorne offers a unique lens into spiritual practice, rejecting superstition while still affirming the practical efficacy of ritual. He insists that imagination is not a weakness or escape but a creative engine through which nature and spirit express themselves. When one truly embodies a spirit—through invocation, ritual, or roleplay—the boundary between internal and external dissolves. The self becomes a conduit for something timeless.
The episode closes with reflections on free will, flow state, and how magick can shift one’s awareness, not by controlling reality but by participating in it more fully. This conversation is for the seekers ready to move beyond the dogmatic and into the truly divine—the godhood within.
D.H. Thorne is an established self-published author, artist, philosopher, Social media creator, and occultist. He continues to be a practical intuitive sorcerer who answers to no one but himself and the spirits who guide him.
“Everything that was ever built began in imagination. Never say ‘just’ in front of that word again.”
“To summon a spirit is not to meet an external being, but to awaken a latent archetype within.”
“Miracles are not supernatural—they are synchronistic alignments with the infinite potential already present.”

Before proceeding, please acknowledge and accept our formal position. We do not accept the models proposed by various occult groups that portray angels or demons as abstract beings with agency or will of their own. Rather, we view them purely as representations of the practitioner’s individual psyche. We also regard the reasons for their changes over time and the similarities between cultures as evidence of a shared human unconscious, referred to by Jung as the collective unconscious.
This means it is not “the devil” that makes people do harmful things; people alone are responsible for their actions. When someone has an unhealthy relationship with these parts of the psyche, their experience can become distorted. They may require professional therapy and the guidance of a mental health professional; otherwise, they risk taking these powers of the unconscious to a dark place because those parts have been corrupted by misinformation, trauma, or both.
Our position is that each person is the ruler of their own kingdom/reality, and that spirit has no interest in human affairs and is not subject to an ego.
Accordingly, our interpretation of occult systems—from the Tree of Life and Tree of Death to the Goetia and Shem—is purely symbolic. We treat them through the IFS (Internal Family Systems) model as representational frameworks that illustrate splits within the human psyche, and we work with them in a manner similar to “duality therapy.”
Therefore, any person claiming that a spirit instructed them to do X or Y is expressing a cry for help and should be treated as such.
This is why this movement is clearly marked by the identifier “God Is Not Therapy.” We are not here to provide therapy, but to present a model of these forces and practices for the purpose of understanding, navigating, and working with one’s own unconscious. By proceeding, you acknowledge your responsibility to seek professional assistance if you are experiencing any of these issues before continuing with this work.
