Product Description
From ancient Taoist sages and Sufi mystics to Christian contemplatives and contemporary Zen masters, Seeing, Knowing, Being explores a surpassing law behind all a world's cryptic traditions: Living a devout life has zero to do with regulating ourselves. It is simply a matter of awakening to what we already are. The genuine work of self-discovery--and a answer to a suffering, emptiness, and detriment of meaning--is training to see in a opposite way. "The visionary journey is all in a seeing," says John Greer. "From depart to arrival, zero changes though a eyes."
But a routine isn't that simple. In this all-embracing work that is unfailing to turn a classic, Greer artfully traces a stairs and stages of a ethereal routine of awakening. He shows how we can pierce from society's hand-me-down chronicle of existence to a consternation of a loyal nature--from conceptual, unreasoning patterns of meditative to meaningful a law by being.
Like a master artist who captures an picture and stirs something low inside of us, Greer also highlights scarcely one hundred evocative metaphors, as sundry and colorful as a sages themselves, to excite your imagination and hint your intuition--to change your viewpoint and shake we into an recognition that no volume of reason can.
What Greer shows, with good knowledge and compassion, is that when we put aside a map of a mind, we can follow a compass of your heart. You can pierce by a sum of life--going to work, lifting a family, throwing out a garbage--and still knowledge a wonders and totality of life with low reverence, gratitude, and joy.
"Books mostly report journeys. Seeing, Knowing, Being indeed takes we on one. It moves a reader from a clarity of siege and detriment of ignorance to an insinuate tie with Divine Reality. A surpassing speed into a loyal inlet of life."
--MATTHEW FLICKSTEIN, author and writer of a award-winning film With One Voice
