a spiritual gem
Comment
I've been sitting with what to say for a while now. I am one of the preview readers of Resurrection, and it's taken me a while not just to read the book itself, but let everything it stirred in me soften and settle.
It is an amazingly powerful book, that offered a great number of reflections that spoke into my own journey and opened doorways into further inquiries. As well as a few of those awesome, Aha! I get it! - moments, where suddenly the internal landscape shifts, the view shifts, and you see and understand things you didn't see or fully understand before. It is also a great, unfolding tale of one being's continuing inquiry into past and self, into energy and identity that kept me hooked.
But more than that, to me, there was a strong resonance, a feeling of Truth in the tale shared. There was also a knowing, understanding, that this is not about the story, or the characters in it, neither past nor present. This is about the *energy* that flowed off the words, that I could all but see radiating off the text on my screen.
I feel to say ~ unlike what feels like all of my co-preview readers ~ I grew up in a strongly Christian household. And while I left the Church over twenty years ago, still there were times during the reading of Resurrection that I felt things triggered inside. I found that fascinating to watch and feel into and work with ~ though slightly unsettling as well, given that even after all this time and distance, the early conditioning (brainwashing) still kicked in at times to cringe and shriek, "YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!!”
I will definitely purchase the book when released as paperback, to go back and re-read it.
And this time with a notepad and pencil at hand, to excerpt all the paragraphs and sentences that really spoke to me. <3
