Contemplation ...
"As a host of spiritual explorers from all ages have
testified, a marvelous change in identity
happens
from the
simple act of sitting quietly in the presence
of the chaos of disorganized thoughts, feelings,
and rhythms of heart and breath.
Watching the whirlwind that occupied
the center of my sense of self,
I gradually changed from being
the diseased one to being
compassionate-objective observer who
could transcend the chaos and remain calm.
In the middle of that battleground
which is my personality –
swept with confused alarms of struggle
and flight where the ignorant armies of
the superego and id clashed by night –
I discovered a peaceful kingdom.”
Sam Keen

A rich feast passed before my
eyes on our very slow
internet connection as
the downloading proceeded !
I look forward to the work of converting to Ringbinder
format. ... Like tilling the ground
before planting!

I am faithfully
using The Cloud.
It
is like being with an old friend!
You have
done a good service for the Body of Christ.
(Brother
Elia / Community of the Latrun / Holy Land)
Your Contemplative Web Site
seems to hide,
yet at the same time silently
convey,
so much more than it apparently shares
on screen.
I sense a Mystic's heartbeat
behind your Site's pages.
(Marc / Contemplative
Pathways)
