Overview
"Wisdom from one of the greatest spiritual masters of our time."--James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage The heart of Anthony de Mello's bestselling spiritual message is awareness. Mixing Christian spirituality, Buddhist parables, Hindu breathing exercises, and psychological insight, de Mello's words of hope come together in Awareness in a grand synthesis. In short chapters for reading in quiet moments at home or at the office, he cajoles and challenges: We must leave this go-go-go world of illusion and become aware. And this only happens, he insists, by becoming alive to the needs and potential of others, whether at home or in the workplace. Here, then, is a masterful book of the spirit, challenging us to wake up in every aspect of our lives.
Anthony De Mello
Anthony De Mello was a Jesuit priest and psychotherapist known for his profound insights into spirituality and human consciousness. Primarily recognized for his books such as Awareness and The Way to Love, De Mello's works explore themes of spiritual awakening and the understanding of one's self through introspective and contemplative practices. His approach combined elements from both Western and Eastern spiritual traditions, making his teachings resonant with a diverse audience worldwide.
De Mello's style was marked by storytelling, often using parables and anecdotes to convey deeper truths. Because of his innovative methods and ideas, he remains a significant figure in spiritual and philosophical circles. He faced some controversy later in his career, particularly from the Vatican, which issued a notification regarding certain theological positions he posited, emphasizing a need for discernment when reading his works.
Born in Bombay in 1931, Anthony De Mello was influenced deeply by the cultural tapestry of India which shaped his unique approach to spirituality and counseling. He travelled extensively, giving lectures and retreats around the globe. De Mello's ideas on spirituality and human consciousness continue to engage and inspire those interested in existential and spiritual questions.
