From age seven, Shana has been afflicted by nudges (peculiar intuitions)—a heightened sense of awareness that winds its way into her psyche, unsolicited and unwanted.

There are two sides of life: life's creativity and life's eternal being. Life's creativity is experienced as world, body, and mind. Life's eternal being is experienced as awareness itself. Your true life and self is your awareness, and your awareness is unchanging and unchangeable. As our awareness, we are all one and the same. Awareness is the place of oneness. Everyone's unchanging awareness is life's eternal being. Awareness itself is the place of safety, peace, and freedom. Everything else is a passing experience within life's creativity.

Everyone's life consists of only two things: awareness and experiences. Everyone's experiences consist of world, body, and mind. Everyone has different experiences, but everyone's awareness is the same awareness: awareness itself. Experiences are the ever-changing side of life. No experience lasts. Awareness itself is the unchanging side of life. Awareness itself is the experiencer of experiences. Awareness itself transcends world, body, and mind. Awareness itself is life's formless eternal being.

A human life is designed to be a life of enjoyment, discovery, and understanding. The more we discover and understand, the closer we get to seeing the bigger picture of life. The bigger picture of life is the oneness of life. Life is not created or produced by something other than itself. Life itself is the creator. Life creates different bodies to live through. Everyone’s life is the life of life itself. Everyone’s true self is their awareness: awareness itself. Awareness itself is life’s eternal being and unchanging self-place.

Sean Cardinal O'Malley explains why evangelization is at the heart of our faith and that there is a mandate to share the Gospel with the world. Passing on the faith is not an option but an imperative. In every century, believers have to hand on the faith to the next generation and at the same time offer the wisdom of the Church to a world that is content with foolishness. Drawing upon the scriptures, philosophy, and literature, he illustrates how this passing on the faith is ultimately God's enterprise.
