EXPERIENCING GOD THROUGH MEDITATION
"God has made the human heart in such a way that only God will do.
And the God-given longing for God is fulfilled in a oneness with God in which nothing short of that oneness is enough.
There's a kind of deep, sincere ache within the heart.
It prays, and the prayer actually intensifies or deepens a longing for oneness with God beyond the words of the prayer and also beyond the emotions and the feelings that can come up in the consolations of prayer.
Nothing is enough; only God is enough.
And that's the mystical quest really, that's the contemplative theme...."
"...Christ's life is a mirror of our own life and the deepest reality is that we're called to die to our most cherished illusions about ourselves.
And our most cherished illusion about ourselves is that our failing, and our shortcoming, and our "sins"—as horrendous as they might be—have the power to separate us from the love of God.
As I die to that illusion—which is an act of radical childlike trust in God's love—I am participating in the mystery of the cross in the ground of my own consciousness.
That is, with God's grace, I'm dying to the last traces of fear and doubt and shame within myself. So that by dying to those cherished illusions of my own imaged autonomy from God's love, I am born into this kingdom consciousness or this mystery of the resurrection.
So for the Christian mystics, they didn't see the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as a story dualistically other than their life; rather they saw it as a story that revealed the deepest reality of their life.
And we enter into this reality, which is at once God's life and our own, in the silent simplicity of meditation..."'
"by Former Trappist monk James Finley
