Fear Not Mystery: Knowing Love Beyond Comprehension

by Aukje Kapteyn

Overview

Spiritual paths are rarely a straight line.

Fear Not Mystery is an absorbing memoir describing the author's passage of reconciling her religious upbringing with forging her own spiritual path. The consequence of growing up amidst a strict structural religious environment with the loss of her own spiritual awareness form the backdrop of her search for authenticity and connection.

Aukje Kapteyn shares her insights from her life's work, her immersive experiences in the natural world and the body, which heightened her sense of oneness with all and seeing the Divine in all things. Wise and relatable, the stories of loss and alienation, awe and mystery found in this book reveal the universal experience of inner wisdom, letting go of the illusion of control and surrendering to the grace and freedom of spirit that is our birthright.
