We do not see as we ought to. The greatest battle is within the self. The dual-minded judgements we make insists that there is an "other" that is the source of unhappiness; other things - other people. We see the color, creed, race, social class and the rightness and wrongness of a given situation and or person; and that's all we see. The ego builds up itself along the lines of separate and unequal; never searching deeper and questioning the negative emotions that rise up, out of the discolored lenses and distorted mind-sets. In this book, Jacqui-Theresa shares her own dramatic, true life story of Divine encounter and conversion, through the Preface and follow up contemplative poetry. She bring us along on her faith odyssey of encounter and growth; beginning in Silver Spring Maryland in 1997 and crossing the waters of the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea; returning to her homeland in Port of Spain Trinidad and into cosmic territory. Sharing through personal mystical experience and deep prayer, the poetry challenges us to move beyond the level of mere existence; to dare to see, to desire to hear and hope; to move from living on the surface of life and depending on the survival/pleasure principles that bring no real peace and no lasting happiness. At the heart of the matter is the discovery of our deeper, truer selves; who we are in relation to the Divine Creator. We must be willing to let go of what we think we know about God and how He makes himself known to His creatures; be willing to surrender and to be led by the Great Shepherd. Resting in an awareness of the Divine DNA within is the One thing that creates the certainty and freedom to live the deeper life that Christ intended; without it, humans risk becoming a devolving species; happiness becomes a temporary pursuit with constant starts and stops. One such way of discovery is the path of the Contemplative. God is Lover and the human person, the beloved. Jacqui-Theresa's true story in divinely inspired, poetic writings, draw us into the world where we get a glimpse of what lies behind the veil that blinds us to the intimate realization of the image and likeness hidden at the depths of our being; our Divine DNA; and the challenge to greater love.
