I don't think we're all paranoid schizophrenics, but I think the parable is important because it shows that we have a choice in how we act in every encounter, in every instance, and by our choices we create who we are.
What happens when a rock star finds solace in spirituality? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer sits down with Mike Scott, the driving force behind The Waterboys. Known for hits like 'The Whole of the Moon', Scott opens up about his journey through music and spiritual discovery. He shares how the parable of the two wolves—representing the battle between our better and darker selves—has shaped his life choices and creative process.
Scott also delves into his time at the Findhorn spiritual community, revealing how it taught him to navigate the turbulent waters of show business while maintaining inner peace. He discusses the importance of stillness for mental clarity and how he balances the demands of the outer world with his inner life. Ever wondered what inspires a musician's creative flow?
Scott touches on how spiritual practices have influenced his songwriting and even gives a nod to Ellie Goulding's rendition of 'How Long Will I Love You'. He also shares his thoughts on the impact of technology on music and recounts the story behind his satirical song against Arthur's Day. Throughout the conversation, Scott emphasizes the power of choice in shaping our lives and offers insights on managing negative emotions.
This episode is a rich tapestry of music, spirituality, and personal growth, offering listeners a chance to reflect on their own journeys.
