He has a depth and insight on life partly formed from his struggle as a kid with a stutter.  After years of formulating his ideas, Ari went into osteopathy which as you will learn is a key part of the clarity that he has about the oneness of the world and his purpose in it. 

We discussed topics such as:

• Inner worlds 
• Seeing the bigger picture
• Tapping into the unified sphere 
• Self transcendence 
• The anatomy 
• Jewish Philosophy
• Mind, body and soul
