"Spiritual Chocolate", April 23, 2001

It is very rare in today's world that one can sit down and, in a matter of minutes, be taken to a place of inner Peace. Practicing Enlightenment, by Mary Vincent Hunt, does that for the reader. Each sentence can be pondered and savored as a rich morsel of "spiritual chocolate". It is a true treasure, yet to be discovered by the world.

"Are you all right now?"

In one of the chapters of Practicing Enlightnement, Mary Hunt asks someone in the midst of a crisis, "are you all right now?" It is one thing to always be seeking some spiritual alternate life - hoping to click into just the right other-worldly formula that will fix up all my problems and crises...but what about this moment right here and now? And that is what I like so much about this book. It is simple, yet has layers of insight and meaning that spin me around face to face with the very simplicity and depth of aliveness I am experiencing here and now......as is. So a tendency to think about enlightenment as an ethereal state (problem free of course) to attain somewhere in a future time-frame, shifts. As she writes in the frontispiece for the book: "The miracles of life are right here. They are right here. Only they are just bread and butter." (amen....)Practicing Enlightenment is also a most practical book about meditation itself. It is both highly relevant for those who have been meditating for years and years, or for those just beginning a practice. In a sense, the author de-mystifies meditation - talking about the natural faculty of learning to become aware of what I already am once I realize I am not this thought or that other thought....I highly recommend this book.......

Excellent Read

I have just read Mary Vincent Hunt's PRACTICING ENLIGHTENMENT and I am brimming with compliments for this very practical and inspiring book. I've nodded here and there in recognition and shed a few tears in awe. I may keep this book next to my meditation chair for the rest of my life. I'm buying it for longtime spiritual seekers and those new to the journey.
