Finding Your Hidden Treasure by Benignus O'Rourke is a contemplative path inwards, to the depths of your own being. Through silent prayer and meditation, and by discovering this ancient way of finding God, O'Rourke provides insight and guidance for your spiritual journey. He then outlines a practical approach, moving from silence to action, and explains how to take God's love to others in everyday life.

This book of spiritual reflections is grounded in the life and work of Robert Lax, poet, seeker, and friend and contemporary monk of Thomas Merton. These meditations continue to explore his understanding of the divine Presence in everyday life. Drawing from a wide range of scholastic and creative experiences that highlight his faith journey Georgiou imparts how life is an inner pilgrimage that ultimately leads to the treasure of the Christ, hidden in our hearts. Georgiou's interior trek began on Patmos where St. John experienced the Revelation. There Georgiou serendipitously met Lax, (1915-2000), the much-beloved poet and hermit, who became his mentor. In this book a circle of love completes itself. As Br. Patrick Hart, last secretary to Thomas Merton, makes evident: "Like his mentor, Georgiou is now a teacher whose lesson-plan focuses on agape--the highest and purest form of love."

These messages, which take the form of synchronicity, hunches, gut feelings, visions, feelings of déjà vu, bodily sensations, and even in our dreams while we are awake or asleep, are like clues in our own personal Treasure Hunt. By learning to the use the Clue Lifecycle, these clues can provide concrete guidance in our personal lives, our jobs, our career decisions and our investments. Where do these “clues” come from? Whether they are from our “inner mentor”, from our “future selves”, or from our spiritual guides, they can help us to uncover our hidden “Treasure Map”, which shows us the work we were meant to do in this life and the path to get there. Turn your career into a Treasure Hunt and find true meaningful success in the business and spiritual worlds.
