Welcome to season 3 of the Poetic Resurrection Podcast. This season we will touch upon the “Colors of Life”, an international perspective with an introspective edge. We have poets and writers of different backgrounds who will read and discuss their writings. This is a breakaway from the usual podcast which steers away from politics and religion. They will speak about what happens in their culture, belief systems, and challenges they face. As always, love and acceptance are our perspectives. Just the experiences and acceptance of self and others. Join us for this insightful look at international existence and the different cultures and beliefs that create our world.

The poem for this week is Citizen from Inspire Me: Raw. I wrote this poem several months before Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. It surprised me to hear from many people that they didn’t know Puerto Ricans were American citizens. On a side note, people from Guam are also American citizens. Please join us in this new and exciting season and here’s the poem Citizen.

Citizen

Curly red hair
Freckled skin
Speaking Spanish
Not fitting in

People’s bias
Perceptions
Ignorance

Where are you from?
How did you get here?
Was it a struggle?
No—citizen

No boats
No tunnels
No hiding
Airplanes

I belong here
Born here
Educated
Citizen

Our guest this week Monday, Sept 20th is Andrew Seaton author of Spiritual Awakening Made Simple. We discuss the Soul of You – spiritual awakening and how it’s simple, we address grief, and other emotions affecting our perceptions. Check out this informative interview.

Andrew Seaton is a spiritual author, teacher, counselor, and mentor for spiritual awakening. For more than four decades, he delved deeply into educational philosophy and psychology; old wisdom and new science; reports of higher consciousness; and a wide range of personal development, holistic wellness, and spiritual awareness practices.

As Andrew experienced all the personal ups and downs of his life, his working life was quite varied, but mostly in education. He had many different roles in that field, most of them relating to education of the whole person. His Ph.D. thesis was titled “Investing in Intelligence: An Inquiry into Educational Paradigm Change.” Andrew came to see that in our world we are generally making some deeply flawed assumptions about knowledge, human nature, and quality of life. In 2006, he resigned from a two-year stint as an education academic in order to focus on unlearning his education and other conditioning, and on awakening, the fuller functioning that he had come to see so clearly is possible and desirable.
