"Relationships are the great
fabric of life; to unfold them consciously and methodically
is to learn to love through a work that includes
all of life. It is to transform living into an art.
Spiritual life and the art of living are, therefore,
two ways of referring to the same thing"
To learn to live well, with harmony, peace, companionship,
and love, is to learn to live in relationship—with
ourselves, with our circumstances, with people, with
life itself. Relationship, we read in this thought-provoking
book, is what connects us with all of life, and here we find practical ideas,
suggestions, and tools for working on the many ways relationships work in our
lives.
We learn here ways to explore the relationship we have with ourselves, with
our problems and difficulties, with our shortcomings and strengths. We meditate
on a greater dimension of relationship as well—our relationship with
society, with life, with ideas, with vocation. We find, too, ways to contemplate
the ultimate relationship—our relationship with God, or the Divine.
Written as a kind of guidebook to life, this valuable little book brings us
many new ideas to deepen our spiritual lives and unfold more profound relationships
with ourselves, our families, our society, and ultimately, our human destiny.

"Love is a companion in a work done alone
in the intimacy of each person’s heart, mind and soul"
There are moments in life when we become consciously aware of the mystery of
existence: when we witness the birth of a child, the unexpected death of a close
friend, the discovery of a relative’s need for comfort, the awakening to
the realization that a lifetime of possibilities and choices lies ahead. Such
moments may occur when everything seems to be going along fine, or when we encounter
the inescapable sorrows of human life.
These are the moments in which we begin to ask about the meaning of our lives.
We may ask such questions as: “Where am I headed? What should I be doing
with my life? What is the meaning of my experiences?” For most of us, the
answers to these questions remain a mystery, but this does not preclude a search
for an answer, and it does not mean that we cannot come closer to an understanding,
step-by-step. This search for meaning, this yearning toward the unknown, is the
foundation of spiritual life.
In Jorge Waxemberg’s book, Living Consciously, we find these questions
reflected upon in a remarkable collection of essays on spiritual life. Chapter
subjects range from such diverse topics as Physical Health, Moving
beyond Prejudices, and Finding the Road, to Mysticism in Our Lives.
Each chapter, in fact, appeared at one time in Seeds
of Unfolding, and this new book makes possible an overview of many of
his thought-provoking articles written over a 14-year period.
Living Consciously brings together an accessible and inspiring anthology
of ideas for enriching our inner lives and concrete means by which to work for
the good of humanity.

with Contemplation: Inspirational Biographies

What do Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas Merton and Maria Montessori have in common?
What are Marie Curie and Martin Luther King, Jr. doing in the same book? How
did George Washington Carver happen to have his biography alongside Eleanor
Roosevelt’s? All of these people and more are found in this book based
on a series of walks in San Francisco Bay Area parks where, under the shade
of magnificent redwood trees, biographies of great contemplative lives are
presented.
The series of hikes, known as Walking with Contemplation, continues to be a
valuable tool in learning about meaning in life through the study of great
lives. It is also a wonderful time to share the joys of companionship while
exercising through walking. Out of this experience came the idea for a book:
inspirational biographies to read while walking, to accompany times of introspection,
reflection and meditation.
