Joseph Arthur

The Downward Facing Spiritual Spiral

Today on the Spiritual Spiral, I am thrilled to welcome musician, poet, painter and singer-songwriter, Joseph Arthur, to the show. I've been an enormous fan of Josephs for probably over 15 years but what has been just as impressive to me is how outspoken he's been on social media throughout the lockdown. Speaking your truth, especially when it goes against the "narrative", is certainly not for the faint of heart but Joseph puts it all out there day after day. Joseph is using social media to try and offer a nuanced and contrasting perspective and hopefully awaken people from the strange "new normal" being promulgated by the media. Joseph and I talk about our potential loss of freedom, the looming mandate being forced upon New Yorkers and we're concerned about what leaders may have in store for us next. We talk about the oddities surrounding the pandemic and we're curious why more notoriously outspoken artists like Bono are staying mum throughout the lockdown. We talk about creativity, the emotional roller coaster of social media and Joseph shares personal and revelatory stories about what it's like dealing with "haters." He also just had a new baby so he talks about the overwhelming jubilation that has come from being a new dad. It's a fantastic and vital discussion and be sure to find and support Joseph on IG @joseph_arthur or on Twitter @josepharthur.
