Description
How many of us live our life from day to day and from year to year drudging through routines and chores without feeling satisfied about life? How many of us are overwhelmed by the daily demands of our lives? We desire a fulfilled and empowered life, yet it always seems just beyond our reach. What does the spiritual life have to do with a fulfilled and empowered life? Haven't we experienced enough the spiritual life as the anti-thesis of life? Many of us have been frustrated by our spiritual life's impotence to deal with our daily struggles. The more we pursue the spiritual life, the more passive, fatalistic, and disillusioned we become. The spiritual life, as formulated by the many religious institutions, seem irrelevant to our daily life. Does the spiritual life then really matter in an age of computers and the Internet? "The Spiritual Life" by Leonard Seet, answers with a resounding "yes. " "The Spiritual Life" shows you how to live a fulfilled and empowere! d life. Leonard Seet wrote this book confident that the spiritual life directly improves the quality of life. This pursuit not only improves the individual's life, but also empowers others because the power of life is contagious. "The Spiritual Life" provides fresh insights into the spiritual life in a time when there is a great hunger for a better life. In Leonard Seet's word, "Rampant spiritual myths have thwart many fervent seekers from developing an authentic spirituality. " "The Spiritual Life" shows you how to eliminate existing spiritual myths and live such a life with all the excitement, dynamics, and vitality as well as challenges, ambiguities, and suffering inherent in life. Because the spiritual life is not an escape from life but a total engagement in life, developing it amidst our daily life is a major theme in the book. Leonard Seet is convinced that if spirituality is worth pursuing, it must help us engage the changing times.
