Dedicating your life to social justice is a worthy endeavor. But how do you sustain the challenging work amid the inevitable challenges and setbacks? In this book, social reformer Joe Colletti provides direction for aspiring urban monks by drawing on decades of on-the-ground experience working toward solving social struggles, as well as his own journey creating an integrated “rule of life” to spiritually guide his lifelong work. Chapter by chapter, he sets you up for an intentional life of involvement in social reform, coaching you on how to choose your social struggle, select the spiritual principles and practices that will make up your own unique integrated rule of life, and merge your spiritual and secular efforts. Equal parts pragmatism and mysticism, The Way of the Urban Monk offers practical wisdom and soulful guidance for those committed to helping end seemingly intractable social injustices, enabling them to serve more effectively and from a place of spiritual wholeness.
THE MONK MIND
The individual who is busy with daily life chores and duties has to experience a range of emotions that the individual is personally not ready for or doesn’t affiliate much with, the emotions and experiences of frustration, anger, dissapointment, sorrow and a continous nuisanse of the feeling of entanglement. With the want of getting rid of these emotions and experiences the individual looks forward to a spiritual or a holistic way of life. Without the proper knowledge of one’s own self the individual again falls into a connundrum of undertsanding truly what a spiritual or holistic life is meant by, resulting in a endless search of a proper guidence to understand a way of life that satisfies the individual completely. The monk - mind creates a deep understanding of one’s own self by laying down the foundation step by step. The individual will surely be able to comprehend the true essence of holistic living and have the right perspective on the path suitable for oneself to adapt to. There will be clarity in action and thought to start with on the path of spirituality and a holistic living. The individuals who already are following certain practices and a particular way of living, the monk – mind acts as a referesher to delve deeper into their respective practices and faith. With an open mind and heart, the monk – mind will surely give a perspective to the individual on how to naturally experience peace and bliss while living in the world.
The Monk's Cell
Based on nearly four years of research among semi-cloistered Christian monastics and a dispersed network of non-monastic Christian contemplatives around the United States, The Monk's Cell shows how religious practitioners in both settings combined social action and intentional living with intellectual study and intensive contemplative practices in an effort to modify their ways of knowing, sensing, and experiencing the world.
