What if you could live 10,000 lifetimes, and the only requirement would be to find perfection before using them all up.  Do you think you could do it?  Stephen and Mark are pretty sure they wouldn't make it, getting distracted by loud thoughts, like Stephen's gout toe, or France.  This is the simple premise of a deceptively complex book about life, love, the self, and reaching for something perfect in "Reincarnation Blues" by Michael Poore. But one thing that is close to perfection, is a bottle of Widow Jane 10 Year Bourbon.

Michael Poore is author of the book Reincarnation Blues, the story of Milo, the oldest and wisest soul on Earth. He also wrote, Up Jumps the Devil, the story of John Scratch, who is really the Devil, and who has been bumming around Earth since he got kicked out of heaven. The New York Review of Books called this book, “an elegiac masterpiece.” Poore's most recent book, Two Girls, a Clock and a Crooked House, published in 2019 is his first for young readers. His short fiction has appeared in Glimmer Train, Southern Review, and Asimov's. And his story “The Street of the House of the Sun” was selected for The Year's Best Nonrequired Reading in 2012. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cutting-for-sign/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cutting-for-sign/support

Michael Poore is a middle school teacher, and an author of books such as "Up Jumps the Devil," "Two Girls, A Clock, and A Crooked House," and my personal favorite "Reincarnation Blues." He embraces the little moments in life, but realizes that when things get heavy, it's the people around you that make a difference. He credits those people around him with a lot of his success, but his hard work and eloquent writing style have a little something to do with it too!

This week, Josh and Dietrich tackle one of their most difficult playlists yet, in no small part because the inspiration is the most unique television show in the last few years. The Good Place featured a mix of philosophical thought and hysterical comedy, all presented with a honest yet unfailingly optimistic look at the human condition. Josh talks about a movie revolving around the idea of justifying your existence on Earth, while Dietrich explores a show that was as popular as its ending was divisive. They look at the remarkable novel Reincarnation Blues, another optimistic comedy by creator Mike Schur, and wrap up with a classic film that got added at the last minute. You can send questions or comments to playlistquestions@gmail.com.

Episode 315: A teacher, mystic and poet, Richard Rudd attended Edinburgh University where he gained a Master’s degree in literature and metaphysics. A born explorer, he has studied with great teachers in the East, traveled through the Himalayas, the Pacific, the Americas and the Arctic. He worked in the film industry in Australia, trained as a teacher of Chi Kung and meditation in Thailand and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a small yacht. Throughout his adventures Richard Rudd has explored his love of writing and in 2006 he won the FISH international poetry award in Ireland. Richard's mystical journey began early in life as he experienced strange energies rushing throughout his body. This catalyzed his spiritual search. All his studies became synthesized in 2002 when he began to write and receive the Gene Keys - a vast synthesis exploring the miraculous possibilities inherent in human DNA. It took 7 years to write the book and understand its teachings and applications. Today Richard continues to study and teach the profound lessons contained in the Gene Keys.

It brought him in touch with an awareness of his destiny. Richard took years to understand and integrate the experience he had, eventually resulting in the Gene Keys!. "Humanity has built itself on the higher truths, without realizing." "To really access deep veins of truth, you cannot rush. You've got to be loving. You've got to be gentle. You've got to romance wisdom. A Gene Key represents an encyclopedia of an aspect of consciousness, encoded in all things. "Each Gene Key gives us the opportunity to rephrase the language of a life." As long as you've found yourself with someone who is essentially kind at their core, allow yourself to "dig your well" deeply with that person. "Two people coming together is an alchemical cauldron." "Someone who provokes you is a really wonderful gift." "The divine isn't cruel. The divine wants you to see the fruits of your labor." Many spiritually minded people operate with the assumption/wish that this is their "last life," but often that's more reflective of the fact that they're not particularly enjoying this life. Philosophically one's "last life" would be incredibly ecstatic and joyful, so the challenge is to see the opportunity and identify what's left to be done. "There's a perfection in every moment." Richard believes that the next epoch of humanity will not be based in suffering, but bliss. It's important to do the work to understand suffering (shadow). Richard believes we may retain memory between births in the next phase of our evolution. Béla Hamvas: "Drink, and the wine will take care of the rest." Meaning to drink of life - or can be taken literally. The sun takes six days to go through a Gene Key, through all 64.

Michael Poore’s short fiction has appeared in Glimmer Train, Southern Review, Agni, Fiction, and Asimov’s. His story “The Street of the House of the Sun” was selected for The Year’s Best Nonrequired Reading 2012. His first novel, Up Jumps the Devil, was hailed by The New York Review of Books as “an elegiac masterpiece.” Poore lives in Highland, Indiana, with his wife, poet and activist Janine Harrison, and their daughter, Jianna. He is also the author of Reincarnation Blues.

Why are Josh and Ryan so worked up? Well, The Atlantic published a pearl-clutching #boomer screed about the so-called "radicalization" of the Democratic Party (by a #NeverTrump Republican who worked for Reagan, both Bushes, and now for a Koch-funded thinktank, so you know he really cares!), and we had to digest it line-by-line. From the #GreenNewDeal to #Medicare4All to #AbolishIce to #FreeCollege to #Taxes to #Israel to abolishing the electoral college and packing the Supreme Court, we discuss why you don't have to be "radical" to know that huge changes to the status quo are needed for young people in the US and around the world to have a real shot at a better future. At 31:15, our guest is author, wordsmith, and visionary Michael Poore. His latest novel, Reincarnation Blues, was named one of National Public Radio's Great Reads of 2017 (https://www.npr.org/2017/08/26/543933403/take-a-walk-on-the-wilder-side-of-death-with-reincarnation-blues). You can visit him at michaelpoore.live and follow him on Twitter at @mikepoore227. PS: Shoutout to our dear friend Delilah Asterales (a.k.a. @HawaiiDelilah on twitter) for coming down to Honolulu to hang with us, shoutouts to Bar Leather Apron and Bethel Union for showing the three of us a good time, and shoutout to the fine folks at Hawaii Public Radio for letting us join them and answer phones at their pledge drive!

Episode 236: In this podcast, Madelyn Moon discusses her healing journey from a strict black-and-white conservative Baptist upbringing to a more expansive connection to spirituality. Madelyn explains why she never felt accepted and connected to her religious roots and why she started to explore spirituality. She shares her thoughts on the Bible, Jesus, heaven/hell, daily confessions and so much more in this vulnerable episode. Show notes:  Religion is black and white. Spirituality is many colors. There was no clarity in religion so she was constantly exploring and asking questions. Madelyn believes that God created us all divinely and that this divine energy is pure love. Madelyn thinks the Universe wants everyone to feel closer than love and is not okay with hate. The Universe isn't black and white. The Universe is every color, every shape — it’s everything good. It’s pleasure. The divine is nothing but light and goodness. Her background with a strict Baptist upbringing and how everything always went back to God. Her obsession with confessing her sins and the anxiety that created. The immense fear that the idea of the Rapture created for her. How does nature not make it into religion? You are 110% in control of your life. You don’t need anyone’s permission to change your beliefs. The Yoga Barn in Bali is where she felt Spirit enter her being. “Seeing the world has wildly served me in my spiritual life.” The beef she had with Jesus and how a trip to Israel healed her issues. All people are flawed. All people are deep down in their core the same, and we are love. We are human beings craving connection and Jesus was all about that. How she views the Bible as a metaphor of living her life. Her thoughts on heaven/hell and why she doesn’t believe in it.  Chandresh Bhardwaj Episode HERE "My real work on Earth is to be as conscious as possible; to be a light; to do the best I can on Earth and then who knows what happens." Must-read book: Reincarnation Blues by Michael Poore  How she connects to the divine today. How she deals with guilt. How her family has responded and why these topics are off the table. How she deals with the judgments from the religious community. Her love for Vedic Meditation HERE  Interested in attending a retreat in 2019?

It's our first DPS book club episode! Hooray! Just a quick apology, when we started this podcast, we only had one microphone and the sound quality is.... well... terrible. BUT, we are now very fancy and have TWO microphones, so future episodes will be much better. Hope you enjoyed reading Reincarnation Blues by Michael Poore and drinking your Great White Beer! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This week Lauren Fanella is here for The Stacks Book Club. We're talking about Reincarnation Blues by Michael Poore. In the book, Milo, a human who has been reincarnated almost 10,000 times, is on a quest for perfection and everlasting life. The book touches on a lot of social justice issues, Love, and of course Death. We talk about these themes, who we would cast in the TV show, and more. There are spoilers this week, if you plan on reading this book, wait to listen to the episode until you've finished.

The metaphysics of reincarnation are nothing short of enthralling, from the notion of an immortal soul drifting through myriad life forms to the intimidating Wheel of Samsara with its heavenly and hellish realms. Why does this version of immortality appeal to us? And what, if anything, can science tell us about the survival of the soul? Join Robert and Julie for a rich discussion on the reincarnation.
