Reveal: A Sacred Manual for Getting Spiritually Naked

Autor Meggan Watterson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 apr 2013
Harvard-trained theologian Meggan Watterson marched out of her church at age ten. With little-girl clarity, she knew something tremendously crucial was missing...the voices of women. Watterson became a theologian and a pilgrim to the divine feminine to find the missing stories and images of women's spiritual voices. She knew women's voices had never been silenced, just buried. But what she truly sought was her own spiritual voice inside her--the one veiled beneath years of self-doubt. At a sacred site of the Black Madonna in Europe, Watterson had a revelation that changed her. Rather than transcending the body, denying or ignoring it, being spiritual for her meant accepting her body as sacred. Only then, Watterson realized could she hear the voice of unfaltering love inside her- the voice of her soul. With passion, humor, and brutal honesty, Watterson draws on ancient stories and lesser-known texts of the divine feminine, like The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, making them modern and accessible to reveal the spiritual process she went through. She suggests that being spiritual is simply about stripping down to the truth of who we really are. Through her extensive work with women, Watterson found that she was not alone. There are countless women who long for a spirituality that encourages embodiment rather than denies it, that inspires them to abandon their fears but never themselves, and to be led by the audacious and fiercely loving voice of truth inside them. No matter where you rest on the spectrum of spirituality; religious or secular, devout believer or chronic doubter, freelance mystic or borderline agnostic, this story is about the desire in all of us to want to shed everything that holds us back. "Reveal" provides what religions have left out--the spiritual voice of a woman who has claimed her body as sacred--a woman who has found the divine insider her. In essence, this is a manual for revealing your soul. ""I have spent the majority of my life gathering stories of the divine feminine. Each time before getting my masters degrees in theology and divinity, I went on a pilgrimage to sacred sites of the divine feminine throughout Europe. The first one was with a group and the second was on my own... " "The stories of the divine feminine, of Christianity's Mary Magdalene, Catholicism's Black Madonna, Hinduism's Kali ma, and Buddhism's Green Tara for example, allowed me to begin to see that I wasn't as much of a spiritual misfit as I had thought. There was a red thread that became visible to me that ran through so many of the world religions, especially through their mystics, relating that the way to find the divine is to go within. And, that our potential to be transformed by going inward is exactly the same whether we are a man or a woman. The real barometer of our spiritual potential is not our sex, but the commitment of our desire to want to encounter the divine." "Excerpt from "Reveal"

Recenzii

"Meggan Watterson writes from the white-hot place where two passionate inquiries intersect. She is a seeker, in the fullest sense, and her feminism runs just as deep. Revealis a fireball of a book . . . Meggan is so adept at limning out a story that you come away feeling as if you'd read an engaging novella even as you were absorbing her remarkable seven-point program for claiming and reclaiming just about everything that matters!"-- Carol Lee Flinders, Ph.D., author of "At the Root of This Longing: Reconciling a Spiritual Hunger and a""Feminist Thirst and Enduring Lives: Portraits of Women and Faith in Action"
"Intimate, vulnerable, and courageous, Meggan Watterson's Reveal: A Sacred Manual for Getting Spiritually Naked, is a gift to liberate your spirit and set you free!"-- China Galland, author of "Longing for Darkness: Tara and the Black Madonna, The Bond Between Women, and Love Cemetery"
"This book is an invitation back to who you really are. Read it and be reminded. Reveal is a call to return to the essence of you, beautifully interwoven with stories that will make your soul sizzle in recognition."-- Kate Northrup, author of "Money: A Love Story"
"Reveal reminds us that we are sacred, that we must worship at our own inner altar, and that everyone has access to a mystical experience of life. Finally, spirituality from the embodied feminine perspective--this book is a touchstone for the next generation of women and their spiritual lives."-- Alisa Vitti, founder of FLOliving.com and author of "WomanCode"
