As one of the greatest of the 20th century mystical poets, Rainer Maria Rilke’s ecstasy can be felt pouring through his peerless poetic searching. In this monologue, Richard creates a sacred space in which Rilke’s beautiful words are given centre stage. It is through his love of aloneness and space that Rilke rises to crescendos of celestial transport that powerfully anticipate a future collective awakening.
Music Credits: Nick Squires on cello, arranged by Theo Grace

Thank you from the bottom of my soul; Rilke, Tarkovsky, Coltrane, Clarice Lispector and so many others are huge part of myself. How I recognize my values and duties as a human being inside this confused, chaotic and cruel World. We are all plowing our souls daily to be a better person, learning every day. Where living goes beyond any understanding. The universe is with us. My divine love to you who are reading this. ❤

I have no understanding of how this found me today! Trusting the divine perhaps! I knew nothing of Rilke! Though clearly I did! You, your words, your guidance was indeed divinely crafted! I found myself pausing! Writing! Emotional! Liberated, just to name a few! I scribbled words as if they were not of me but knowing within they were always my words! Patiently waiting inside for me to open the bars, to set them free! Going within! Transcending & alchemizing the unknown languages that have always been ME! I could go on obviously as you have opened a door! A portal, the bars! I am the panther! I am the masculine & the feminine! Thank you! I don’t know who you are or where you’ve been or why now but thank you!

I really wonder if such a humble man doesn't deserve praise beyond his own ambitions. He was really clearly just trying to sort his own life out, and occasionally found the means to cling to peace and comfort and find their inner core and meaning. All things slip, all art vanishes eventually. But to Rilke that was a good thing. There's something, for Rilke, immortal beyond his own individuality. Perhaps best to keep Rilke a member of your family, who you walk with to enjoy watching them as they categorize the flowers in alphabetical order with their wonderful Latin names.

First time listening to content on this channel. This was a profound reading of Rilke's work/soul. I finished my first read through of Letters to a Young Poet last night, I've never felt so connected to someone's words before, each verse like a mirror showing the unfiltered me to myself, like someone flinging open the windows in my room and letting in the light to both illuminate and cast shadows upon me as I search for myself through this phase of depression and mania and unable to find the words to explain my experience.

Your profound understanding of Rilke is pure inspiration for me, in that the contact I’d had with his poetry was rather limited, and in those days I had very little grounding in the poetic, and a terror of being alone. It seems things have changed in many ways. Thank you for your splendid insights and reading.🙏

I found Richard a couple of days ago talking about Shakespeare and so was led to this. I held my breath and gasped in equal measure and cried with the Panther. This was such an intense experience, I feel kind of drained now but so glad to have found him and Rainer. I don’t know what to say really except that I am so glad to have found this and I will read his books and listen to all of his work (both Richard’s and Rainer’s) I feel blessed to live in a time where I am privileged enough to have the means to experience this. Rainer is extraordinary. I found him so , you know I can’t even say, words just don’t do it. Beyond words really. Thank you Richard. I’m so grateful for this.

Beginning in March, imbibing the Gene Keys through many videos, my profile, The 64 Gene Keys, the Seven Seals; the Delta and now the Venus Sequence Deep Dive, reaches a crescendo with the Ecstatics. Their reassurance is of not being wrong and mad but of being misunderstood for unshared insights and understanding. Frustration and irritation of a sea of ordinariness born from barren imaginations is beginning to wane as self-love and adoration builds. Relief. Even happiness. "All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well." (Julain of Norwich)

How dare that heavy rain have perfect timing! I'm a very childish poet who aspires to maintain that childish wonderland of self for as long i can. I'm learning now to rest assured at its continuation even as it slips into my subconscious rhythm and pulse of life. Your words and narrative have done a wonderful job of silenting my troublesome inner monologue to sing in unison with your words, and feel them and understand them. Thank you for your readings, your thoughts and feelings, and your candor. I can feel a very loving genuine self, and you've brought me a comfort to experience Rilke with you. Unless of course, I'm overstating things, and should force a little chuckle so as to say, "Oh no, of course i didn't mean any of that" and spill into the awkward cult of irony that consumes my generation. Anyways, thanks! :)

wow Richard, that's all me. I do not know how to explain it. I will simply say that it held me deeply and extensively. It has taken me hours to hear everything and I printed his letters to read better (my native language is Spanish). I even consulted the profile of this man, whom until yesterday I did not know, but our profiles have nothing in common. I know they are collective things, but how can the connection be so intense and precise? I was looking at 15, 12, 11, 24 and 44 .... Even with the Panther...While reading I remembered that day years ago. I never wanted to go to the zoo, a shaman from Germany forced me and the catharsis that I felt in front of that panther shook me enormously. I couldn't stop crying deep and so full of life at the same time ... And while I was listening to you, I was thinking of the words in my head to relate it... But you told it. Huge thanks from my heart and the wound that lives in it.
