| Description: |
Trappist monk, Br Elias, invites the reader to explore the ways of the One who would have us perceive, listen, and love as Christ did, and still does: not by imitation, but through a gradual inner transformation. He outlines two kinds of contemplation, the first involving activity on the part of the person seeking intimacy with God; while the second kind is sudden, unexpected: a gift of God unmediated by the senses, intellect, memory, or imagination.
Br Elias speaks of the healing, transformative power of inner silence, and of the mysterious Round Dance of the Trinity. After every chapter, he describes practices related to deep inner prayer, and skilful ways of dealing with harmful thoughts and feelings. He draws attention to the goal shared by all human beings: to become kindness incarnate, while living Christ's paradigm of radical equality and inclusivity. He stresses the importance of becoming a whole person by integrating the inner with the outer sides of life. |
