The purpose of writing as a spiritual practice is to awaken to the joy of life. It’s the process of liberating your body, heart, mind, soul and spirit, spiraling from the physical to the emotional to the ego to the One to the Observer. It doesn’t require a reader. It’s not about crafting a project, and you don’t need to be a writer to benefit from the exercises in this book, although writers may gain deeper insight into their own work. The goal is to become aware of the fiction of your self, the stories you tell yourself about reality, and the difference between the “I” who is written about and the “I” who writes. Renowned spiritual teacher Rami Shapiro and award-winning poet and essayist Aaron Shapiro combine spiritual wisdom with writing techniques to guide the reader in discovering “…that though your story is you, you are not your story.”
