Who We are

This book explains who we are and what we are supposed to be doing here. Smith builds a dynamic and entertaining case for gaining self-understanding (and ultimately self-mastery) through the repetition of the Name of God, silently and with attention, as an antidote to our individual suffering. Remembering our true relationship to life and to God, she says, results from saying the Name of God without ceasing, during 'the dishwashing and car driving moments of our every day lives'. The book is a compilation of short vignettes linked together within important subject areas of spiritual practice. Several hundred of them make the book useful as a 'thought for the day' reference, much like the "Course in Miracles", in which one aspect of the teaching is used each day as a subject of meditation. From references to contemporary films and TV commercials, to insights into age-old spiritual practices, the author ranges far and wide in the presentation of these upbeat vignettes, each one both entertaining, yet profoundly confrontational to the ego-driven personality.
