In this major new work, Father Thomas Keating reflects on the
wisdom and legacy of the Alcoholics Anonymous Twelve-Step Method
and its connections to, and similarities with, the Christian
mystical traditions of Centering Prayer and lectio divina. In
conversation with a long time attendee of AA meetings, Father
Thomas talks insightfully about surrendering to one's Higher Power
and the journey that must be undertaken for the healing of the soul
to begin.
Keating discusses the principles of contemplative prayer?the
retreat into the ?inner room? mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 6:6. In
the inner room, God acts as a divine therapist, healing us and
forcing us to recognize how many barriers we put up between
ourselves and God. This process is the foundation of centering
prayer?a technique of prayer that Keating and other contemporary
mystics have revived out of the ancient mystical traditions of the
Desert Fathers and the medieval mystics.
Thomas Keating was a Cistercian monk who founded the worldwide
'Contemplative Outreach', teaching people the art of meditation.

Introduction by Ronald F. Thiemann Foreword by Elaine Pagels By a
founder of the Centering Prayer movement Originally a Wit Lecture
by one of today's key spiritual writers, this is a reflection on
contemplative prayer, the search for happiness, and our need to
explore the inner world. The search for God, Keating says, is also
the search for ourselves, but our self-consciousness gets in the
way. He takes the unique angle of the contemplative journey as
"divine therapy" for the illness of the human condition, a method
for opening up to our own wounded unconscious. As we move into a
global culture, he says, this process of letting go of attachments
and of self-centeredness is more important than ever. A work of
beauty and clarity, The Human Condition - - draws from a wide range
of classic and modern spiritual sources, as well as from solid
common sense - explains how God is the only true security and how
divine love is the full affirmation of who we are - shows how even
a life of action needs contemplation and the practice of the
presence of God
This book explores how speculative thinking is shaping how we
relate to our entangled social, mental, and environmental
ecologies. It examines how speculative philosophies and concepts
are changing geographical research methods and techniques, whilst
also developing how speculative thinking transforms the way human,
non-human, and more-than-human things are conceptualised in
research practices across the social sciences, arts, and
humanities. Offering the first dedicated compendium of geographical
engagements with speculation and speculative thinking, the chapters
in this edited collection advance debates about how affective,
imperceptible, and infra-sensible qualities of environments might
be written about through alternative registers and ontologies of
experience. Organised around the themes of Ethics, Technologies,
and Aesthetics, the book will appeal to those engaging with
architecture, Black political theory, fiction, cinema, children's
geographies, biotechnologies, philosophy, rural studies, arts
practice, and nuclear waste studies as speculative research
practices appropriate for addressing contemporary ecological
problems. Chapters 1, 3 and 4 are available open access under a

Invitation to Love provides a road map for the journey that begins
when Centering Prayer is seriously undertaken. Pointing to some of
the recognizable landmarks on this journey, as well as to its
ultimate destination, Father Keating addresses common questions
regarding contemplative practice: How will it affect my life? Where
does it lead us spiritually? What obstacles will I encounter along
the way? How does it work? Following on from Open Mind, Open Heart,
this book establishes a dialogue between the insights of
contemporary psychology and the classic Christian spiritual
masters, providing a solid conceptual background for the practice
of Centering Prayer. This is a practical book, articulating the
stages of the process of spiritual growth, and outlining how we
might develop a deeper relationship with God and move from
contemplation to action.
"All around the world a resurgence of Christian contemplative
living is creating a new framework for spirituality inside and
outside of formal religion. Building on and expanding from the
thoughts and works of such as Richard Rohr, Thomas Keating, Tilden
Edwards, Laurence Freeman, and other founding members of the modern
contemplative movement, a new movement carries on the work of their
mentors. This collection brings together the diverse voices who
have emerged as new leaders of the contemplative movement.
Exploring a multitude of themes, such as silence, imagination,
meditation, embodiment, community and social action, this volume
introduces the new voices who reflect globally on the gifts,
challenges, differences and commonalities of Christian
contemplation today for communities and people of faith."
Centering Prayer is a type of Christian meditation which can add
depth to all types of prayer, and emphasises a quiet, resting and
receptive openness to God. Since its emergence about forty years
ago, it has been variously criticised or misunderstood, and this
book aims to build a healing bridge of mutual respect and
understanding. The book is written for anyone interested in
Centering Prayer, to find out more about this dynamic way of having
a relationship with God, and also as an invitation to its critics,
to reconsider the approach in a spirit of reconciliation.
