Ancient Wisdom and Forgotten Teachings Series Introduction: Prophets and Poets of Spirit

November’s mini-series turns toward the luminous voices who shaped spiritual understanding through guidance, devotion, and divine inspiration. Prophets & Poets of Spirit honors the men and women whose words became lamps in the darkness — teachers of conscience, vision, and the eternal call toward goodness.

Across traditions and centuries, these figures shared a common thread: they spoke not from authority, but from awakening. Their wisdom arose from inner revelation, sacred encounters, and an unshakable devotion to truth.

This month’s teachings explored several timeless themes:

  • Integrity as a spiritual path: Zoroaster’s call to right thought, right word, right deed.
  • Purity and healing: The Essenes and their devotion to simplicity, compassion, and inner cleansing.
  • Courageous intellect: Hypatia, who united science and spirit, reason and wonder.
  • Love as a direct path to the Divine: Rumi’s poetry of surrender, joy, and longing for the Beloved.
  • Creation as blessing: Hildegard’s visions of a world alive with divine light and sacred harmony.

These lessons remind us that spiritual guidance doesn’t always come from temples or doctrines — sometimes it comes from poetry, from conscience, from intuition, or from a single person brave enough to speak truth in a troubled age.

Prophets & Poets of Spirit celebrates the voices that teach us to listen inwardly, to act with compassion, and to recognize the Divine in both the world around us and the world within.
