About Awareness: The Perils And Opportunities Of Reality
Product Description Happiness is not an achievement; love is not an achievement; holiness is not an achievement. They are each a grace—grace called awareness, a grace called looking, observing, and understanding. If you would only switch on the light of awareness and observe yourself and everything around you throughout the day; if you would see yourself reflected in the mirror of awareness the way you see your face reflected in a looking glass—accurately, clearly, exactly as it is without the slightest distortion or addition; and if you observed this reflection without any judgment or condemnation—for what you judge you cannot understand—you would experience all sorts of marvelous changes in yourself. You would not be in control of those changes, be able to plan them in advance, or decide how and when they are to take place. It is this nonjudgmental awareness alone that heals and changes and makes one grow. But it can only be done in its own way and at its own time. From the Publisher Using humor, compassion, and insight, the beloved and best-selling Anthony de Mello teaches us to welcome the challenge of knowing ourselves and living the "aware" life. From the Author You possess everything you need right now to be happy and fulfilled. Happiness naturally awakens in you through a simple process of awareness. You see life differently because you are different. You see things you have never seen before. Beautiful things. You're much more energetic, much more alive. When you finally awake, you don't try to make good things happen; they just happen. You understand suddenly that everything that happens to you is good, and that all is well, even at times when things are a mess. Anthony De Mello From the Inside Flap What you are unaware of controls you and controls your life. What you are aware of you control and direct toward the experience you wish to have, which, after all is said and done is happiness. When you understand that, you change. About the Author Anthony De Mello was a Jesuit priest born in Bombay, India in 1931. He is widely known for his ground-breaking work that integrates western and eastern spirituality. He is regarded as one of the 20 th century's foremost spiritual philosophers. Although he died in 1987, his books and message continues to flourish.
