Awen 12
December 3rd, 2009
Most times it seems that Awen comes to us when we are quiet – when we can be still enough within ourselves to open our hearts and minds and intuition to something more than just our own concerns, or the busy-ness of our own minds. But sometimes Awen needs chaos, needs the confusion, the turning upside down of notions and feelings, in order to burst in on us, like a ‘thief in the night’ – to use that extraordinary and evocative image used in the Bible to describe the way Christ can come into someone’s life.

Is Awen the same as christ coming into ones life?
If so why not simply become a christian?
If not why the links with christ imagery and myth?
I think it could be more equated with the Christian concept of ‘grace’, but the distinction between the idea of Awen and the idea of Christ/Grace is that Awen specifically refers to a flowing energy of inspiration. While a Christian might indeed, I imagine, Christ as giving them inspiration, or Grace blessing them with inspiration, that is a different concept. Otherwise one could say that if say a book or picture brought inspiration is not the book or picture itself therefore Awen? (which it isn’t!)
