edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.
"Contemplation" is a word that Thomas Merton used again and again
in his writings. It is a theme that he spent much of his life
exploring. About contemplation, he wrote "Contemplation is the
highest expression of man's intellectual and spiritual life. It is
that life itself, fully awake, fully active, fully aware that it is
alive. It is spiritual wonder. It is spontaneous awe at the
sacredness of life, of being. It is a vivid realization of the fact
that life and being in us proceed from an invisible, transcendent,
and infinitely abundant source. Contemplation is above all,
awareness of the reality of that source. It knows the Source,
obscurely, inexplicably, but with a certitude that goes beyond
reason and beyond simple faith...It is a more profound depth of
faith, a knowledge too deep to be grasped in images, in words, or
even in clear concepts..." This short pamphlet is a good
introduction to this important topic in the overall work of Thomas
Merton.
