The Spirits in Poetry - A Spiritual Podcast

After a hiatus of several months, The Spirits in Poetry is back with a talk on spiritual reset. Sometimes we hit a point in our growth where we need to restart our journey from a beginning.

 This episode deals with ambition and the advantages and consequences of cultivating it and allowing it to fill our lives. The truth is that in a capitalist world, we need ambition not just to thrive but to survive. In a world with limited resources, hunger is essential for the motivation to keep getting out of bed every day. However, this hunger has its own consequences. If you want to know more stream the episode now. Also please rate and review on iTunes if you want to support the growth of the podcast.

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 pessimistic and hopeless as Absurdism believes it to be. Stream the episode now and follow on Instagram: @thespiritsinpoetrySupport the show

In this episode I reflect on my recent growth and the ways I have become dependent on consistent advancement in my life. Sometimes growth can become addicting and when this happens, frustration surfaces: frustration over where we want to be vs. where we are, frustration over our abilities, frustration over our limitations. If you want to support the growth of the podcast please rate and review the episodes, every like and comments helps with the growth. Also follow the podcast on Instagram: @thespiritsinpoetryThank you!Support the show

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 lives between worlds, beyond society's moral standards.If you're interested in booking tickets for my upcoming performance at the Intercultural Reflections Festival April29-May1 you can book tickets at: https://linktr.ee/jorgeq18Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme2/jorgeq18)

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. But this episode expands and corrects my previous statements since purpose requires daily effort and dedication. This episode also has a lot of self-reflection as I share what I've learned as I continue to follow my own path as an artist. If you want to support the podcast please rate and review and follow on instagram at: thespiritsinpoetrySupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme2/jorgeq18)

 Greetings to you all! The Spirits in Poetry will return Sunday March 13th. This fourth season is dedicated to Free Thoughts where I will challenge myself as a host to explore topics in a way I have not before: without a script.

The final episode of Season 3: Living Through Poetry is in and in this episode we further our discussion of poetry by talking about what makes a poem's ending good versus what makes it fall flat. This episode covers Instagram Poetry Syndrome which is when poets write for what's popular instead of writing from their heart. And I share a poem I wrote for Instagram and contrast it to a poem that I wrote with all my spirit imbued into it. This then culminates into a conversation around death, because death itself is a perfect ending that physical beings arrive to and then cease to exist. We briefly cover the Tibetan and Egyptian Books of the Dead while I also share my perspective on dying and how we can practice dying every day.Thank you for tuning in, the podcast will return in March!Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme2/jorgeq18)

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.

Last week's episode dealt with the individual experience. This episode builds upon that by talking about the collective human experience: suffering. This episode is dedicated to the way art communicates this suffering.

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. It is time to draw back into ourselves, and for me that means re learning what it means to be a human being.  But how can we know when and end has come? This episode touches on dreams of death and their relationship to endings in our lives, the political climate of our country and its four year cycles, and measuring the soul.The Spirits in Poetry will be back in 2021.

This episode breaks down fear in two parts: the fear of writing and the fear of sharing written work. Sometimes it's terrifying sharing pieces of ourselves. It's safer to stay in our comfort zone where we are safe from judgment; however this protection can become its own prison. Using Kendrick Lamar's song “Opposites Attract,” Lamont Carey's Poem “She Says She Loves Me,” the folk story of the scorpion and the frog, and my own personal poem, I deconstruct the root of truth and why it matters to be honest.
