For me, it's a matter of semantics and interpretation. I don't hold with any traditonal notion of "god" and I think that the word "spiritual" is used to describe higher levels of science that we just don't understand yet. That said, the thing we call "collective unconscious" as well as the entity from which we're all born, the Universe, give me a sense of awe and wonder that to me are equivalent to divinity. And when the writing channels are open and we speak truth, I'd say we are partnering with that Mystery, that oneness with humanity and and nature. In our current culture of individual self-focus, that's the criminal act Djelloul is talking about.Brent Robisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06882060411376854563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013099116454762594.post-76066141298473853602010-09-22T06:35:09.953-04:002010-09-22T06:35:09.953-04:00Having no interest in or sensitivity to anything s...Having no interest in or sensitivity to anything spiritual except in a secular sense (which I tend to refer to using intellectual or emotions terms) I don’t see my poetry as anything other than an expression of my own thoughts and feelings but I don’t accept that any poem ends there. I believe that each reader contributes to whatever he or she is reading. The writing of poetry involves transformation and its reading is transformative. That goes for all writing but especially for poetry. Being unable to grasp the notion of co-creation with any kind of divine consciousness the closest I can get to understanding the experience that’s being spoken of here is to consider the possibility of co-creation with a secular collective unconsciousness. Perhaps this is why poetry works because it is based on things we all have in common. I’m really out of my depth here.Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.com
