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.
