About this ebook
THE AWARENESS OF BEING a Poetry Book by JULIAN BOUND
Charting the stages of a soul's journey from the shadows of unawareness to the light of awareness, 'The Awareness of Being' offers a guide for those who feel there is something missing in their lives, yet sense that something is out there for them, as well as providing confirmation for those already living in awareness and of the steps taken to achieve their current awakened state of mind.
Using traditional and Japanese Haiku poetry, 'The Awareness of Being' provides an insight into awareness' elusiveness of character, by its nature an often ethereal and challenging concept to define.

The Awareness of Being - Julian Bound
Foreword
No rules, no expectations, no time limits... awareness.
EACH SOUL IS DIFFERENT, differences of such unique qualities that to put any constraints of anticipation towards attaining an awakened mind would be pointless, for it is up to each individual to discover and unveil that of which they have sought, both consciously and unconsciously, in their own time.
Yet, the steps taken from unawareness to awakening and towards being are the same for all; a path of infinite scale that can only be walked at a soul’s own pace. Be it quick or slow, the destination for each and every one of us remains the same.
‘The Awareness of Being’ offers a guide for those who feel there is something missing in their lives, but sense that something is out there for them, as well as giving confirmation for those living in awareness and of the steps taken to achieve their current awakened state of mind.
Within the prose of traditional and Japanese Haiku poetry, the following pages are an insight into awareness’ elusiveness of character, by its nature an often ethereal and challenging concept to define.
