A PERSONAL NOTE/ Walking with the Vain Cattle/ Amal A. Islim

Feb. 15, 2012 - PRLog -- Hello World!

For those who do not know me, please allow me to introduce myself and my book’s purpose. I am Amal Islim. Name means: the Right Hope. I am an author, poetess, songwriter, psychologist, and above all an explorer. At the age of 17, I left my home in Jordan, moved to Germany, then England, then Canada, then the United States, then Switzerland, now in Spain, and God knows where life will take me tomorrow. But as all these explorations did not satisfy my soul, I started to look in the beyond to find a greater meaning, the absolute, and wrote this book to document it.

First of all, I would like to mention that my work is NOT religious but spiritual. My main message is if we fight our own daemons, learn to forgive and love ourselves, do and attract the good; then we can reach our inner peace, where all other blessings stems from.  When we reach this point, we do not have the need to fight or hurt one another, thus, tolerance, compassion, acceptance, and hopefully, earthly peace. In my book “ Walking with the Vain Cattle” I shared through the best truth I knew, my  deepest thoughts, emotions, pains, challenges,  dreams, gradual healing, evolution, insights,  and triumphs which led me to my light. Of course, each of us will have different quests and battles to reach ones happiness and peace.  Mine, were mainly, dealing with the conformity, banality, mendacity, and evil of our world, such as war, corruption, slander, manipulation, abuse, etc., and to top it, my own ego .This might explain the choice of the book’s title.

Simply, this was the diary of my spiritual journey, and I know that this odyssey is still at its beginning. But as any other book, movie,  or a piece of theatre, it either brings you, laughter and tears, guidance, awareness, realizations, smiles, messages, inspiration, etc. or it doesn’t.  It is up to you to see it from any point of view you please or simply view its points, and then you can still distort as you wish! That’s all! Thank you for reading and commenting. God bless.  And for those who have no idea what I am talking about, here is my press room: http://pressroom.prlog.org/amalislim/
