New Release Shows Innermost Thoughts of a Monk
MONDAY, 26 JULY 2010
Imagine if you could revisit life and travel back and forth in time, simply by putting yourself into a deep and meditative trance. That’s just what happens during nightly prayers when a monk puts himself in this state, surrounded by incense and candle flames. The evening provides both a personal chasm and a refuge to long-held doubts, self-discovery and suppressed anger. As he begins his trance, he thinks, “The mind has no escape from itself. The mind is its own escape.”
In Godmaker, published by Dog Ear Publishing, the story’s central figure, Necodem, explores his relationship to God, the decisions that have affected his life, and the world around him. Meditation gives him the gift of time to fully contemplate tragic deaths, lust, family, beauty and love. The beautiful language of the book weaves in his innermost thoughts about God in the image of the Christ and the sacrifices he made for mankind. In the end, his inner journey book brings Necodem to a point where he is both compelled and repelled by a primal mystery and a final revelation.
Author Vasile Munteanu has advanced degrees in literature from Oakland University and in philosophy from State University of New York. He teaches philosophy and literature at the Collage of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas. Godmaker is his first novel.
