My time running The Spirits in Poetry has come to an end. There comes a time when we have to learn to let go and this is one of them.

Thank you to all of you who have listened to the podcast throughout the 4 years it's been running. Thank you to all of my friends who have supported. A million than...

This episode is a conversation about the unknowable; I am just a drop of water contemplating the ocean I am a part of. Whether you call this infiniteness "God," "Creator," "Dao," "The All," etc. it is clear that we are a part of it and it is very much a part of us. So what is it?Support the show
My apologies for stepping away from the podcast for longer than intended!This episode is a short summary on the knowledge my heart and soul have learned during this time. Part of this comes from stepping away from the spiritual path and discovering more truths about my being. I heard once that once we become experts in one field we become fools in others. Sometimes this is the case with spirituality. Support the show

This episode deals with one central question: Does our life have meaning? To answer this question we look at three philosophies which struggle with this answer. The first is Nihilism, which says that life is meaningless. Nihilism has two responses: Existentialism which says that we make our own meaning, and Absurdism which says that the best that we can do is accept this absurdity that life is devoid of purpose. However I don't believe that the answer to this question is as pessimis...

This episode is titled Embracing Darkness because it's centered around the fact that sometimes 'love and light' as a motivating factor is not enough. As human beings we hold within us a dual nature, one of lightness and one of heaviness. And yet we also hold a third nature which is born when we fuse the light and dark together. What do we become when we embrace all that we are? The Mayan, Aztec, and Olmec peoples saw this represented as the half-human, half-jaguar figure: the being that ...
This episode is dedicated to answering the question: How do we find our spiritual purpose?Over the course of the podcast I have answered this question in several ways, many times around the theme: follow your heart.

The penultimate episode of season 3 is dedicated to the path of the artist/human and how we evolve as time progresses. This episode is approached from the argument that human destiny is to evolve.

This episode begins with the origin of poetry: the oral tradition, the way humans have preserved art, history, law, and truth.

Season 2 closes with an episode on endings and knowing when and end has come and change is needed. There is no more for me to teach this year because there is much for me to learn.
