Produktbeschreibung
This collection of poetry and essays explores the enlightenment experience both before and after. The poetry takes us on a journey through the breadth of our human condition. There is beauty, and there is ugliness. But through it all, there are those special moments when we glimpse a higher reality. The images and metaphors are meant to inspire us to see beyond the illusion of the world and understand the universal way. The essays look directly at enlightenment using plain language, not poetic imagery. We discuss what it takes to live as enlightened beings, the mistakes that can trap us, and the good choices that allow us to advance within ourselves and make a difference in the world. "Living our enlightenment" is the secret to staying on the path and helping others find their own enlightenment.
