#63 Warrior Poet: The Interplay of Spirit and Matter

Mikhail Abdul-Latif is a professional MMA fighter, poet, author and seeker. For the second time we dive deep into meaning of life, materialism vs spirituality, truth and yin and yang of modern world. The discussion opens with an impactful poem and dives into topics such as the metaphysical nature of home, the complexities of human behavior and politics, and the often overlooked spiritual dimensions of martial arts. Mikhail also shares insights on truth from a postmodern and Islamic perspective, and we explore the challenges of modern masculinity through martial arts and philosophical balance. This episode offers a rich exploration of human potential, cultural perspectives, and the quest for a meaningful existence.Chapters:00:00 -Highlights00:49 - Mikhail's Poem and Political Reflections02:53 - Human Nature and Political Tribalism04:06 - Cultural and Linguistic Divisions06:17 - The Quranic Perspective on Unity and Division11:22 - Truth and Postmodernism34:37 - Martial Arts and Metaphysics57:42 - Modern Masculinity and Its Contradictions59:13 - The Warrior Poet: Balancing Pen and Sword59:54 - Applied Philosophy: Merging Thought and Action01:01:07 - The Role of Violent Capacity in Compassion01:01:58 - Generational Training and Martial Arts01:04:29 - Personal Experiences and Lessons in Violence01:10:58 - The Importance of Presence and Mindfulness01:15:13 - Balancing Desires and Moral Injunctions01:17:03 - Polygamy, Monogamy, and Human Nature01:42:58 - The Separation of Form and Meaning in Modernity01:43:37 - Concluding Thoughts and Poetic ReflectionFollow Mikhail: https://www.instagram.com/mikhailabdullatif/Get Mikhail's Book "The Tao of War": https://www.lulu.com/shop/mikhail-abdul-latif/the-tao-of-war/hardcover/product-p6yy9gd.htmlIf you like the episode please share it and Subscribe to the channel!
