A book of modern mysticism about rediscovering the true meaning of faith and how to reclaim our spiritual wisdom.
A soulful exploration of one woman's awakening journey towards becoming a modern-day mystic, and a compassionate, nurturing guide to rediscovering the true meaning of faith.
Aedamar was successfully, and happily, changing career paths to become a novelist when, in 2015, she experienced what she later came to understand as a spontaneous spiritual awakening. For months after this initial call, she continued 'Waking Up', until - to her shock - she finally understood she was becoming a mystic.
Her search for belonging became a search for the true meaning of Christian mysticism in our day and age - a journey to realizing that there is no separation between God and humanity, and a desire to discover why we are living separated from that divine and endless source of Love. In beautifully poetic language, she asks how finite human beings can experience Divine Union and how we can begin to heal the deeply rooted trauma in our Western societies.
This book is the guide to 'Waking Up' that Aedamar wishes she had had through her own spiritual awakening, offering a compassionate and helpful way for us to rediscover divine love, to find our spiritual wisdom and enter into a new era of faith.
