The Reluctant Messiah - Paperback

by Gregory Seth Harris (Author)

Only when the mind itself is transformed do our lives achieve any significant change. Part fiction, part poetry, part philosophical dialogue, this work of creative nonfiction examines how the stories humans tell themselves shape human reality. A ragtag assemblage of poets, performers and provocateurs through performance and talks around the campfire, dissect the ineffable - that which is universally recognized but difficult to express in concrete language. Ruffling the feathers of the Powers that Be, the traveling ensemble of vagabond performers examine the world's great religion, dissect Western dualism, the Good vs. Evil myth, the art of poetry, quantum physics and more. The author, best known as the performance poet SETH, shares insights into how poetic language works and how that ineffable something some in Christianity call God, is accessed not just through religion but in Art, Beauty, Nature, Love and service to healing the suffering of others.
