The Christ-Awakened Life: Meditation Beyond Boundaries was released on the 27th of January 2023 by Wipf and Stock Publishers. It is a book on meditation in a genre of its kind. Ever since then, I have moved away from its more or less traditional theology of historic Christian religion to endorse an open and relational panentheism crystallized in the cosmotheandric Christ, open to integral pluralism and fundamentally inclusive and nondual in nature, spirit, and ethos. God as Trinitarian is seen deconstructively and contextual nominally in the veins of middle-way dialectics and mimetic theory.

​

Be that as it may, this book represents the provisional paradigm I had come to at the time of writing in the late pre-Covid years. Seeking in part to reconcile traditional Christian theology with my living experience, it discusses meditation practice as a disciple of Christ through the lenses and inflexions of Asian spiritual traditions. Inspired by the author's more than four decades of Buddhist spiritual formation and a transformative faith encounter with Jesus Christ during a sabbatical retreat, this book explores experiential, spiritual, and theological dimensions of contemplative practice for a profound and enriching spiritual life.

 

It is a book that cuts across religious boundaries while honoring the essence of tradition by foregrounding the praxis of contemplative spirituality. Part spiritual autobiography, part theological reflection, and part meditation instruction manual, this book invites Buddhist and Christian practitioners as well as meditators of diverse traditions to engage with the spirit and content of this book in a journey of gospel-shaped contemplative and interspiritual adventure.
