Awakening as Holy Mystery: Realizing Christ Heart

Christianity is an ancient non-dual spiritual path of awakening. This is not an awakening to God known as a religious object through the lens of belief, hewn into shape through a set of religious doctrines. This awakening begins with falling in love with the heart of Reality--Holy Mystery--and comes to fruition in the realization that the soul is one with the Beloved. Holy Mystery, the soul discovers, is the true "I" of existence.

The author invites the reader on a journey--through reflections and explorations, nurtured by worship and prayer. Here the soul might begin to slowly awaken to the truth of what she herself is. This is the gracious path of Jesus' own heart realizing that he and the Beloved are one. Jesus awakens as the Christ. The spiritual path in the Christian tradition is that each person also realizes Christ heart--awakening and knowing not only one's own being as Holy Mystery, but all creation as the unfolding flowering of boundless love. Awakening becomes the source of servanthood and service. Jesus embodies what each is called to realize as the heart's deepest and unceasing longing.
