Summary

A distillation of over 70 years as a monastic and more than three decades of writing on centering prayer, Reflections on the Unknowable is Fr. Thomas Keating's volume on how we might develop our intimacy with God and our experience of the Christian contemplative tradition. The first part of the book consists of a long interview with Fr. Thomas, in which he examines concepts of the divine - including the astonishments, playfulness, and transformation available to the individual willing to open the door to God. The second section consists of 31 brief homilies, which range over topics as diverse as the Trinity and the message of Epiphany, spiritual evolution and cultivating interior silence, and the treasure of spiritual poverty and the beauty of chaos.

Great wisdom

Impeccable wisdom. Need to listen to it again and again and contemplate its content. The key here is contemplation. Highly recommended.

Exquisite

Wonderful insights that could take a lifetime to digest.
Dan Carroll, was , sadly, not up to the narration, Americanised mangling of " Lisieux ", pronunciation of quote from St John of the Cross as " wound " ( as in 'found') rather than 'wound' as in to hurt or injure.

A profound, spiritual experience, otherwise.

fascinating

Thomas talks freely about a life of contemplative prayer. discusses many mystical points. although his focus is centring prayer the principles can be applied to any life of prayer. I think if you like to practice the interior life you will like this.
