About meIlluminations: Expressions of the Personal Spiritual Experience features a worldwide collective of truth seekers, including Nobel Laureate Desmond Tutu, peace activist Fatima Gailani, and bestselling authors Julia Cameron and Marianne Williamson.
Illuminations captures the questions of people on paths of faith, creativity or discovery. It asks how these questions in turn influenced their beliefs--a story the contributors tell in painting, photography, poetry, and short prose. It purposefully excludes descriptions of religious beliefs, rituals, practices, and discussions of their merits, with the understanding that empathy--and eventually peace--is created when we ask questions, rather than take a position and prescribe answers. And it is precisely when we are struggling with doubt and asking ourselves questions about life's joys, crises, and concerns that we open ourselves to deeper discovery.
With 186 contributors from 43 countries representing diverse cultures, faiths, and spiritual perspectives, Illuminations has more than 100 full-color photos and pieces of art, including pieces by award-winning artist Marcus Antonius Jansen, Reverend Tamara Siuda, Dr. Joe Lindley, Reverend Howard Caesar, poet and actress Hélène Cardona and spiritual leaders Dharmachari Maitreyabandhu and ShantiMayi. An enjoyable text, a gift with depth and heart, Illuminations is a quiet book of subtle, colorful splendor.
Publisher: Celestial Arts/Ten Speed Press (Oct 2006).
