Synopses & Reviews
This finely crafted and absorbing book presents a cogent argument for the evolutionary need in each of us to uncover our authentic self. By examining what "authenticity" means in the context of everyday life, Richard Moss challenges our traditional concepts of spiritual expression. He eloquently describes a power of "spontaneous grace" that is the key to returning to a state of wholeness, of aliveness. Drawn from poets, philosophers and a fresh biblical interpretation rooted in ancient Gnostic wisdom, Moss invites us to rethink our ideas of self. To be open to a sense of self that is beyond personal identity, we must let go of our normal, subject/object orientation. For the lines to blur between our loved ones, God, and ourselves we must be willing to relinquish our notions of separateness from each other, from the physical world, and our idea of the divine. The Second Miracle is the reconnection to this underlying sense of belonging, of oneness with all life.
