Items related to Love Is for Living
Carretto's four-stage meditational journey is both deceptively simple and utterly profound. Many years in the desert have influenced Carretto's spirituality, yet he is no ascetic hermit. He is practical, well-intentioned but unmistakably human in his admitted faults and failings. Perfect love eludes him as it does most of us. But he keeps trying, and encourages us to do likewise. Comforting as well as challenging, Carretto is a sane voice amid shamans, gurus and other esoteric meditators. Book Breakdown: Part I: Ch.1 Immersed in the Light. Ch. 2 Faith.
