In this episode of GRACEPILLED, I sit down with poet, philosopher, and teacher Ramon Parish (a.k.a. Uriel Jones), whose journey weaves together stargazing, philosophy, poetry, and spiritual practice. Ramon recently released his first poetry collection Drama of the Planets, and in this conversation, he shares the stories, influences, and practices that shaped both his art and his spiritual path.

We talk about:

• How Ramon’s early stargazing experiences sparked a lifelong sense of spiritual purpose
• Why he sees philosophy and poetry as core spiritual practices
• The influence of Rastafari, music, and mythology on his worldview
• The role of movement, meditation, and community in his spiritual growth
• Balancing tradition with adaptation in spirituality, and why conduct and justice matter just as much as consciousness
