The Day I Was Born Again: A Memoir of Poetic Insights, Healing and Power

WHAT IF BEING BORN AGAIN IS NOT ABOUT CHANGING YOUR RELIGION, BUT AWAKENING TO WHAT YOU ARE?The Day I Was Born Again is Okwudili Iloka's pictorial memoir of a journey from human religion to spirituality, but don't hold your breath for pictures. You won't find any on these pages. Instead, through poems, reflections and spiritual essays, words become pictures of an awakening unfolding from within.Born from a period of profound personal change that began in 2008, these twenty-seven writings trace a movement through Light, Love, Sophia, Womanity and the Son of Man: from darkness and pain to self-knowledge; from inherited beliefs to inner discovery; from guilt to freedom; from the search for God to the startling recognition of the Divine within.At its heart is a question that runs quietly through the entire book: Who are you beneath everything you have been taught to believe you are?Here, Christ, consciousness, wisdom, love, womanhood, spiritual awakening and the creative possibilities of humanity meet in one intensely personal journey of discovery.This is not a conventional memoir, nor a conventional book of poetry. It is the record of a consciousness changing, and an invitation to examine your own.Remove the robe of a Judge and that of a plaintiff and don the robe of the accused, peradventure this book will help you find and come to the knowledge of the truth that will make you free.
