Awake
Some disciples recognized Christ when He broke the bread.Some disciples recognized Christ when He provided fish.But Thomas... Thomas recognized Christ by the wounds.~ AWAKE
AWAKE is a collection of writing, some in verse, some in prose, which look at the world in a new way. It continues on with the theme begun in A SONG TO MY SOUL which asserts that Life is a mystical experience; we just do not notice it because we are used to it. The material in this book is centered on the Mystical Mundane and the Sacred Ordinary. It is a reminder of 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,
AWAKE is the result of the practical mysticism of bishop R. Joseph Owles an a meditation on Buddhism and THE RULE OF SAINT BENEDICT
Buddha means “Enlightened.”“Enlightened” means “to have light within.”Jesus said that you (Yes even You!) are the light of the world.To be the light of the world, you must have light within.Therefore, you are the Buddha for your world.Who else could be the Buddha for your world but you?
