Elegance of Existence Duet, Pt. 2: Spiritual Dark Matter and the Boundlessness of Mind

Send us Fan MailWhat's up to my kinnickkinnick pouched rowdies and fervent lidded luck ducks!Welcome back to the BNP, and thank you as always for joining and supporting the show.This episode is Part 2 of an impromptu duet reflecting on cosmic vastness and the elegance of existence. Part 1 tackled the outer vastitude and sheer mind gurgling scale of the Universe out there. Part 2 is an impressionistic nose dive into the inverse: through the gigantic boundlessness of inner life in all its multifoliate hues, and the great psychological space within which we swim like minnows on the liminal shallows of a limitless Sea.This episode features a poem I recently wrote about the history underwritten and the lathe for shaping unseen footprints, long trod out upon the land beneath contemporary city streets.Alluded to rhythm and blues tracks (both vintage and new) get mixed into a recent conversation between two heroes of mine, and two giants of the current moment: Senator Nina Turner and Dr. Cornel West. You can check out the whole conversation on Nina Turner's podcast Hello Somebody.No exploration of the inner universe is complete without some input from the late great and rarefied weirdness of Terence McKenna and his distant but oh so precise underwater seal's voice, so we snorkel the reef of his psychedelic topography for a spell, and end on a fresh edit of another poem I'd written a few years ago.Jump in and enjoy the ride y'all!
