BOOK
The Crucifixion of Judas: And other reflections on the journey from the mind to the soul
Welcome to my book page. Publish date: Nov, 2022.
For years I tried to write a memoir of my spiritual education. But just couldn't find the frame for it.
Then I heard my voice talking to someone one day, and I realized that wasn't what I had to say.
So, The Crucifixion of Judas took on three parts:
1) Contemplating that it was Judas who was crucified and not Jesus
2) My own reflections about the state of the world and of the monotheistic religion today and in the past (you could call it religious criticism).
3) The Know Thyself Curriculum.
The Crucifixion of Judas is a pure imagining that I wish were true. That set me off thinking and sharing about the whole monotheistic tradition. I hope these reflections are also valid for my readers.
The Know Thyself Curriculum comes from my spiritual education taught to me by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen.
