The issues of our life have within them the seeds of spiritual awareness. With Lightin Up : Healing Through Passion and Humor, Dr. Art Hochberg gives us a collection of aphorisms that nurture awareness. They effectively redirect our focus inwards and encourage us to let go of what we think we know so that genuine and lasting self-discovery can take place. In a very accessible format, the author's wise, sometimes humorous promptings can be read from cover to cover or at random; each of them inspiring us to: Courageously discover our individuality by deciding to be who we really are Experience the aliveness which fuels our creativity Recognize and go with what is happening for us Be spiritual in whatever we do Stay out of other people's take on reality Allow each day to be a lifetime of learning "We are all here for a supreme purpose- to experience the exaltedness of our human birth. This exaltedness is covered over with karma and the illusion of control. Our work here is to uncover that exaltedness and experience it in everything we do- no matter what form it takes. Our life then becomes a life of transforming fear into awareness.""
