Description:In the womb of your mother, You heard the heartbeat of your mother. In the womb of the world, You hear the heartbeat of God – If you can be still enough to listen. ~ A SONG TO MY SOUL A SONG TO MY SOUL: AN EXPERIMENT IN CHRISTIAN SUFISM What follows is a collection of poems, mostly in verse, but some in prose, which look at the world in a new way. Life, after all, is a mystical experience; we are just used to it so we do not notice it. The writing in this book is designed to remind the reader just how mystical and magical every day in this world is. It seeks to glimpse the religion beyond religion in a world that often confuses the lamp for the light. In a thought-provoking and poetic way, the author touches upon a variety of topics, including: The nature of the Trinity What it means for Jesus to be "Truly Human" The nature of "Truth" What is the relationship between Christianity, Islam, and Judaism God as Community The world is the womb for our souls A SONG TO MY SOUL: AN EXPERIMENT IN CHRISTIAN SUFISM is just that: an experiment. It is the result of a mystical experience R. Joseph Owles had one evening while driving home from his position as a chaplain in a large metropolitan hospital. This spiritual experience coincided with his study of Sufism, an ancient, mystical branch of Islam, most popularized by Rumi. During the months that followed, he threw himself into mysticism, seeking to wed his deeply held Catholic Christianity with elements of this ancient mystical practice of Islam, a practice that usually takes the form of poetry and stories. This book is for you If you are a seeker of truth If you are a mystic at heart If you believe that there is a religion beyond the religions If you believe that God is love If you believe in unity of human beings and religion If you know the value of finding your own truth If you are "spiritual" but not "religious If you are open to seeing the world in a new way If you could remember being in the womb, And, while still in that womb, You were told about a vast world outside, You would scoff. You would say "The womb is all there is." Life is dark and wet and warm and nine months long. The infant must die to the womb to live in the world. When you die from this world, you are born to another. From the point of view of the womb You are as developed and grown as you can be Before being born into the world, And discovering that you are only an infant after all. ~ A SONG TO MY SOUL Order your copy now and begin the journey to a new understandingWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
