GRADUATING FROM MEDITATION (Letter to Dompost, November 25)

So keeping my comments on the previous post, on my letters on Christianity, in mind, we can expect someone else's opinions on meditation to appear in the Dompost columns shortly.

Read on:


‘Meditation can help you thrive’, says Dr Libby (November 24), and she’s right. In adding ‘even spiritually’, she hints at benefits which with the right guidance will lead you to indescribable delight.

Graduating from meditation, in which you do all the work – and as Dr Libby says, it’s hard – you arrive at contemplation, where God takes over and gradually transforms you. Along with all the benefits Dr Libby mentions, ‘unhelpful emotions’ disappear.

No one who truly follows the Christian contemplative tradition has any no trouble sticking with it. They find they can’t live without it.
