Produktbeschreibung
Over the last century, church attendance and participation in a religious vocation have dropped sharply in the West, accompanied by a rising secularism and growing disillusionment with organized religion. And yet, humanity continues to yearn for a sense of divine meaning in the world about them, something that goes beyond this temporal existence, something that author Linda Cassidy calls Something-Other-Than. In this powerful spiritual memoir, Linda shares the story of her search for meaning and the holiness in all things, baesd on her belief that a direct, personal encounter with the divine provides a truer more lasting pathway to enlightment than following theologies and dogma ordained by others. She describes five pathways available to everyone to approach the divine: the Way of the Book, the Way of Yoga, the Way of Poetry, the Way of the Dream and, in the future, the Way of the Cosmos. Richly accompanied by research and personal experience, her message will inspire readers to explore the ineffable, invisible, and transcendant nature of the human spirit as they walk these paths through her memoir. From dream analysis to learning at the feet of a yoga master, her account of her journey will keep readers turning the page! An engaging and thought-provoking book, this latest offering from Linda Cassidy will propel readers into a quest for their own encounter with the divine.
