Through the help of a number of my friends, the sacred texts, I will be exploring the interconnection of my self (and each of our "selves"), others, our world, and the divine... I sometimes call that "soulcialism," this interconnection of all things, which for me becomes more and more real as we: Experience interconnection through imaginative empathy, and... Express interconnection though compassionate action. The sacred texts of of the world's great religions have a lot to say about these things, and about those 4 spheres of connection (self, others, nature, divine). I am no Tolkien, but in some ways my music and poetry is like the Hobbit, my prior podcasts (Cow Behind the Barn and Soulcialism; Making it Real) are my Lord of the Rings, then this series of Episodes, Sacred Wisdom, Sacred Texts, is like my "Silmarillion." For more of my music you can find me on all the apps, just look for Kevin Caldwell. I also share my music and poetry on YouTube @KevinCaldwellMusicandPoetry. All of this flows from and is the fruit of years of my “conversations” with some of humanity's most influential sacred texts, each of which has become a spiritual friend to me: the books of Genesis, Exodus, the Bhagavad Gita, the teachings of the Buddha, the Tao Te Ching, the Gospels of John and Luke, and the Quran. As humans, we have different ways of knowing what we know. In order to more fully experience the richness of these texts, I will draw upon reason, imagination, emotion, intuition, memory, hope, love, and our senses. I will weave meditation practices into the episodes and sometimes include examples of my own art as opportunities to engage the wisdom of these friends with more of the fullness of our humanity. Each sacred text grasps different facets of reality and touches various aspects of the Truth. They describe their experiences of Truth in different ways. Sometimes they are in harmony, sometimes they seem to disagree, and sometimes in fact they don’t agree with each other. I will be transparent about how I decide what I agree with, disagree with, and remain undecided about. I will also be clear about why! In most episodes I unpack “big chunks” of individual texts line by line, allowing their unique wisdom to speak. Occasionally, I invite these ancient voices into conversation together, allowing them to speak to each other as if they were not only my friends but also friends with each other. This holistic way of engaging the collective wisdom offered by these friends enables us to experience a more complete picture of ourselves, the world, and the Divine. #moses #gita #buddha #laotzu #jesus #quran #spirituality #mutualism #kevincaldwell #soulcialism #sacred #sacredtexts #religion #art #truth #creativity
