Produktbeschreibung

In the fall of 1981, author Francis Bennett joined a Trappist monastery with the "lofty goal of becoming a joyful saint like St. Francis of Assisi, or at least a modern mystic like my hero, Thomas Merton." But it was only in letting go of how he thought things should be-and in surrendering his identification with a false, separate sense of self-that he found what he'd truly been seeking. In I Am That I Am, Bennett details his own spiritual journey with a unique freshness and humanity that combines Christian mysticism, Buddhism, and Advaita Vedanta or non-duality teachings to help readers find joy in the present moment and in themselves.

Autorenporträt

Francis Bennett was an ordinary, sociable young man who answered the call to a life of spiritual adventure as a contemplative in the monastery of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, commonly known as Trappists. Thomas Merton, the pioneering Christian mystic of the twentieth century, was Bennetts inspiration, and it was Mertons influence that led Bennett to explore the deepest reality of being, within the frameworks of Christianity, Buddhism, and Advaita Vedanta or non-duality. Bennett has worked with the sick and dying in parishes, hospitals, and hospices since he moved away from the monastic life. In 2010, while in the middle of mass, there came what Bennett describes as a radical perceptual shift in consciousness that made it clear that the pure awareness at the heart of all is no different from the presence of God, which he had been seeking outside himself for so long.
