William Butler (WB) Yeats (1865-1939) is an acclaimed Irish poet and the winner of the 1923 Nobel Prize for Literature.
He said, "The mystical life is the centre of all that I do and all that I think and all that I write." That statement takes shape in this, one of the last poems in his life.
In this episode, I explore Yeats complicated and checkered past, and show the kind of fruit borne in the lives of those who practice mystical and occult arts.
And I highlight the differences between the results of a life lived for self, and that lived for something far beyond the self.
