«The Human Condition: Contemplation and Transformation» is the spiritual essay by Thomas Keating (Paulist Press, paperback, 45 pp., in English).
Reflection on contemplative prayer and the search for happiness in the inner world. Keating understands the contemplative path as a «divine therapy» for the wounds of the unconscious: seeking God is seeking oneself. In global culture, letting go of attachments and decentring oneself is essential: divine love gives security and full affirmation.
The text comes from a Wit Lecture delivered at Harvard Divinity School and the edition includes a foreword by Elaine Pagels.
For readers interested in Christian spirituality and contemplative prayer.
Thomas Keating, O.C.S.O. was an American Trappist priest known as one of the principal developers of centering prayer, a contemplative method that emerged from St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts.
