I am an award-winning Canadian visual artist,
writer, and philosopher.
Man has always sought to discover himself and his soul's "depth" and understand how to relate to divinity.
Man has been looking for methods and means to "improve" himself since ancient times. Asceticism, as a way of life, has existed in secular or religious forms since the beginning of human existence, depending on the areas of manifestation.
I hope that the reader will discover in the pages of this book an
unsuspected universe, a man's search for the discovery of his
person. Each of us must find himself so that we become responsible individuals in front of history and ourselves.
Each of us was born with a purpose. Let us be an active part in
building our destiny to fulfill that purpose

The Philosopher and the Theologian, Through Asceticism, Seekers of God is a work of non-fiction in the religion, philosophy, and self-discovery subgenres. It is suitable for the general adult reading audience. Penned by author Vasile Ghiuta, the work explores the universal human quest for self-discovery and understanding of divinity through ascetic practices. Ghiuta argues that asceticism transcends religious boundaries, practiced by both the faithful and atheists alike as a means to delve deeper into their inner selves and connect with a higher power, whether defined as God or otherwise.
Author Vasile Ghiuta has crafted a well-written exploration of asceticism as a universal pursuit of self-improvement and spiritual enlightenment. This is delivered in an accessible fashion that offers valuable insights into the human condition that we can all apply to our daily lives. The discussion of ascetic practices across different cultures and belief systems highlights the commonality of the human experience, regardless of religious affiliation. More than just these fascinating ideas themselves, the work is presented with a confident and uplifting narrative that invites inquiry and is inclusive and accessible in the language it uses to explain every concept. The result is a welcoming and thought-provoking journey into the intersection of philosophy and theology that invites readers to contemplate their own journey toward self-discovery and fulfillment of purpose in a complex world. This book would serve nicely as a primer for anyone interested in entering these disciplines of thought for the first time. Overall, I would certainly recommend The Philosopher and the Theologian, Through Asceticism, Seekers of God to religion and philosophy readers everywhere as a thought-provoking and accomplished work.
