they went on a spiritual journey, some type of spiritual rebirth.at was born was much more spiritualized. there are times when an artist needs to represent without saying anything. when i see bob dylan or bob marley, i know there is a god. it does not matter what they are saying. it is the conviction of their soul. they are just standing there and you know there is a god. he is the same. he is a boxer and i did not like that when i was a little girl. it did not make any sense to me at all. but he is a character, he underwent this transformation. he became a different person, muhammed ali. where has he gone? what has happened? then i understood. it was a spiritual transformation. four very interesting characters to me. daughter, they times to believe in god. -- they asked her if she believed in god. she said, all i have to do to believe in god is to look at my father. curtis was not so overtly religious. and bob dylan's case, the christian songs i loved. his first record was "slow train coming." acoustic guitars, just the same. it was awful. my broth

is there a way that you might define the spiritual aspect, the spiritual experience when say you're in meditation or in prayer, something of that sort? >> the spiritual experience that you encounter is just of pure love and pure bliss. and then, that feeling that you bring, you try to share it with the world, you try to bring it to the world. it's not something that, you keep it inside - you want to live your spirituality; you don't want to just go to church or any temple or anyplace, say off your prayers and then go out of the building and do all the wrong things. and by wrong things, i'm talking about greed and power and lust - all the negative vibrations or thoughts. god is pure love, and when you encounter another human being who god has made, you treat him accordingly, even if that person is not as let's say spiritually evolved, okay? it's just like people in first grade, second grade, high school, and then college - so it is with spirituality. everybody in the whole world is in a different stage of spiritual evolvement. >> some very wise things she said that have touched on key c

when we speak of thurman's spiritual influence and, as you said, spiritual and intellectual. i think that combination's important. i think it's spiritual, intellectual and personal. when i asked thurman what influence he had on martin luther king, jr., i think he if a -- facetiously said i had less influence on martin luther king, jr., than any other professor at boston university. we both laughed because this is a time when everyone is claiming they had a major influence on the thinking of martin luther king, jr., because he took a class from them or something. thurman and king would spend sunday afternoons watching baseball together. it's this intimate, personal dimension thurman will often speak of. but in talking with persons who were close to king at the time, they said martin luther king, jr., was eager to get to chapel to listen to thurman as he preached on sunday mornings. so there is this sort of intaking that's going on also with king as wel read much of king. you can hear so many of thurman's themes being resonant in king's writing. and here king is startg century.

and i think every human being should have a sort of, or this kind of a spiritual concept. it would solve a lot of the problems in the world, even the clashes and clashes of civilizations and religions and identities, because i feel that every human being is like a tree - that as much as he goes deeper in himself and rooting himself into the understanding of humanity, then he would have stronger branches to reach out to the other trees nearby him, the other persons. so the branches will hug one another. but at a certain level, the roots themselves, as much as they go deeper, they meet together, and they hug one another from under the ground, underneath. and then here, the roots will hug one another, and the branches will hug one another. then humanity will become united, without clashes. and this is the christian concept of globalization - it's not just everybody would just do whatever and everything would be vague. we need globalization according to rules and concepts and understanding and spirituality and truth, going deeper into human being - meaning of humanity. >> the

spirituals in gospel music, of course, paul roveson identified with the spirituals and also identified with a strong voice of protest. leatine price, another african-american classical singer who was very prominent in this period. mahalia jackson, participated in the march on washington and a friend of dr. king and mr. reston, made a recording of spirituals and in addition to his brilliance as an organizer, he was a great singer as well. and then the tradition of the freedom songs, and this is primarily within snc, though freedom songs would be sung at other rallies, of other civil rights organizations but, you know, the freedom singers are part of the fund-raising arm of snc, and here's a button that folks would have worn back then. snc, the student, non-violent coordinating committee. now, when you think about this music, obviously not all the musical selections are coming from african-american artists, but if a song was recorded by a black artist, it was likely to be invested by audiences with political meaning, regardless of its content so when aretha franklin sings a song called "

that's how we have to think about our spiritual faith as well. >> this perspective is a gift he puts to use spreading the word. >> he has those practical examples that help with the spiritual side, the spiritual growth, so he's able to share that with the class as well, so they have a good time. >> for us, he is a pioneer because he has come in and just made himself part of this ministry in the church. a lot of times people come in and you have to beg them and pull them and nudge them along to get them to be active in the ministry. that did not happen with marshall. he just came in and got busy. >> according to his wife, there is one thing about marshall that makes all these different things work so well in his life. >> marshall doesn't know what it is to not be able to overcome an obstacle or a challenge, and it's amazing. i mean, to have someone that is always so determined and so driven at whatever it is, whether it's things at church he wants to make sure goes right or if it's with his kids, making sure he makes the right decisions at as the basketball coach, and in his professio

spirituals are the root of most african american history. and music. it is important to know where the spirituals come from. the music came from africa. there are slave testimonies to the fact that music came from africa. and so that is the root of african-american music which is renowned around the world. the other thing that happened is that in the u.s. especially, we lost the ability to use the drum. we did not lose the ability to use rhythm. the -- which is the most direct link to africa, we use the staff and hand clapping. we are going to do a song that will become familiar to me -- to you in a moment. it was put together by our musical director who is holding the staff. and our soloists will be carolyn and nedra. when i ask you to join in, i want you to help us out. all right? thank you very much.

if relics gave spiritual comfort, images--carved or painted-- instructed and terrified.o a largely illiterate congregation, images were essential to convey the church's message. in burgundy, autun cathedral is one of the most important pilgrimage churches on the route to santiago. autun was lucky to be able to attract to its workshop in around the year 1130 a sculptor of genius. we know his name, which is a rarity in the largely anonymous art of the early middle ages. he is called gislebertus, and he signed himself, "gislebertus hocfecit," "gislebertus did this." he has a style distinctly his own-- vivid and with a feeling for expressive detail unprecedented in romanesque sculpture. his tympanum shows the last judgment, and in the center is the serene figure of christ the judge, the focus around which the whole composition of the tympanum turns. at its edges, angels blow the final trumpets. on christ's right-hand side are the saved. one of them wears the cockleshell badge of saint james to prove that his soul had been redeemed by making a pilgrimage to santiago. little s

when you're dealing with death, or you're dealing death, you are in a spiritual space. think you cannot deny it. you may deny it for a while. you may fool yourself that you're not dealing with but you are dealing with a very serious issue. and war itself is definitely one of those spaces. i call it the temple of mars. you enter into a field where suddenly it's not ordinary life. you are in the role of a god. you're trying to deal death. and, you know, our culture really likes to think that religion -- i call it pixie dust. i mean, we'd much prefer easter bunnies than the crucifixion. and we would -- we would -- we don't want to think about the dark side of religion at all but a lot of religions around the world have a very dark side. i mean, some of them that were more -- we'd call them more primitive if you think about the aztecs who used to, you know, rip people's hearts out so the sun would come up and you think about the demons of tibetan buddhism and in christianity, don't tell me that gogatha was a dark space. our culture prefers to be on the light side. now, it e
