Who We Are and Why We Might Like to Be Someone Else: Catzilla at the Crossroads

This compelling and entertaining book explains who we are and what we're supposed to be doing here. It builds a dynamic case for gaining self-understanding (and ultimately self-mastery) through the repetition of the Name of God, silently and with attention, as an antidote to our individual suffering.

Remembering our true relationship to life and to God, Smith says, results from saying the Name of God without cease during the dishwashing and car-driving moments of our everyday lives.

Who We Are is a compilation short vignettes linked together within important subject areas of spiritual practice. Several hundred of them make the book useful as a "thought for the day" guide. From references to contemporary films and TV commercials, to insights into age-old spiritual practices, the author ranges far and wide in this fascinating presentation, while continually serving up a challenge to the ago-driven personality.
