Being Human: Exploring the Forces That Shape Us and Awaken an Inner Life

Being Human: Exploring the Forces That Shape Us and Awaken an Inner Life by Alicia Thom. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780971317208.

Description: Being Human offers a profound approach to understanding life. We may assume that we are human because we inhabit a human body, but there is a difference between our form and our content. Just as the body represents our form, our inner Self—our essence—represents our content. Each of us is shaped by life forces—material, vegetative, animal, and human—which exist within all of life. Being Human explores these forces and provides practical tools that enable us to understand not only why we often get stuck in ancestral patterns or other limiting thoughts and emotions, but also what resources we contain to move beyond them. On a higher level, it examines how our relationship with the life forces and ultimately with the Creator—the Great Life Force—enables us to navigate our human journey with purpose and meaning. As we open to the Divine our inner life awakens, and our outer actions become guided by our inner Self.
