Eyes remade for wonder

by Lawrence Kushner

Publisher: Jewish Lights Publishing Published: 1998 Category: Personal Empowerment

Imagine walking through your everyday life with fresh eyes, seeing the sacred hiding in plain sight within ordinary moments. This transformative exploration invites readers to rediscover the extraordinary spiritual dimensions woven throughout daily existence, drawing upon ancient Jewish mystical wisdom to awaken a sense of wonder that modern life often obscures.

At the heart of this work lies a profound yet accessible introduction to the ways spiritual awareness can fundamentally reshape our experience of reality. Through the lens of Jewish mysticism and contemplative practice, readers encounter a vision of life where nothing is merely mundane, where every interaction, every object, and every moment pulses with deeper significance. The teaching presented here challenges the spiritual sleepwalking that characterizes so much of contemporary existence, offering instead a path toward heightened consciousness and presence.

The approach taken recognizes that transforming perception requires more than intellectual understanding. Through stories, parables, and reflective exercises drawn from Jewish tradition and personal experience, readers discover practical pathways for developing what might be called spiritual literacy—the ability to read the sacred text that life itself presents to us each day. These teachings demonstrate how ancient wisdom traditions contain timeless insights about cultivating awareness, finding meaning, and connecting with the transcendent dimension of existence.
