| Description: |
This collection of Merton's writing grapples with the complexities of identity, existence, and the human condition, urging readers to confront the illusions that cloud their understanding of self. Merton's insights address the distinction between the real self and the false self, challenging societal constructs and advocating for a life of authenticity and spiritual depth.
Merton's reflections help to navigate the chaos of modern existence, the necessity of embracing humility, the power of nonviolence, and the pursuit of a deeper connection with oneself, others, and the divine. Merton's meditations encourage a contemplative approach to life, fostering a sense of inner peace and authenticity that transcends superficial distractions.
This is an essential read for those seeking to deepen their spiritual understanding and live a more meaningful life. Part One draws the distinction between our false and true self. Part Two presents Merton's view of the modern world. Part Three focuses upon his antidotes to cultural illusion, while Part Four explores the difficulties that emerge once one engages in the struggle for justice and sanctification. |
