In the quest for self-discovery and creative fulfilment, we may stumble upon books that will open us to new ideas. Recently, I was eagerly searching for Julia Cameron's remarkable book, "The Artist's Way", but came across another intriguing book, "Seeking Wisdom" by her. This unexpected discovery became a delightful experience. The book offers a six-week program to nurture a deeper connection with God or The Higher Power. It encourages us to communicate with the divine using our own words and perceptions.
The book brings a wonderful concept- a nurturing loving and caring God, not the one judging and punishing.
Ms. Cameron is known for the concept of writing "morning pages". This exercise is writing three pages every morning without the constraints of grammar and sentence structure. It is just writing whatever comes to mind, like a release of thoughts onto the pages. These morning pages provide a safe space for self-expression and innermost thoughts. This becomes a liberating experience while we detach ourselves from the constant pursuit of perfection.
Traditional prayers usually focus on predefined words and rituals to seek blessings and appease God. "Seeking Wisdom" presents a personal and intimate connection with a non-judgmental and loving God. This concept invites us to embrace a relationship with god centred on guidance, protection and unconditional acceptance. It opens up a wonderful world where our prayers are conversations without being afraid of punishments or shame.
"Seeking Wisdom "encourages the ideas of genuine and authentic dialogue with God using our own words. By tapping into our own words, we can express ourselves more deeply and establish a stronger connection with God
Let's embrace this invitation to communicate authentically with a Higher Power and discover the wisdom and connection that await us.
