    God has pushed me from a bible beating christian who was refined by fire 10 years ago to an acceptation of so much more than “the belief that chirst existed.” My new awakening has been so intense and fast and full of tears and fear and pure anguish. Thank u so much for documenting/sharing this. Transcending duality through Jesus Christ is something I could never imagined but answers every question and doubt I ever hid from. I love u all.

    I've watched this video several times. Today what hit me was "allowing God to love us". It seems that is the only thing we need to do and the rest will fall into place. I am grateful for this child of God Fr. Thomas Keating.

      Allowing God to love us! what a novel idea! When I took THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY in 2017, Father Keating's words...GOD is waiting for you to accept HIS
      EFFULGENT LOVE! This injunction was both electrifying and revolutionizing! NO ONE has touched my Soul and bid me grow as Beloved Thomas has! God bless everyone on this Path of consent, emptying, surrender. Elizabeth

    Truly beautiful teachings. This is more or less identical to what we Theravada Buddhists, and especially us in the Buddhist Forest Tradition, practice.
    The seeds of teachings like this are indeed spreading and sprouting and growing with ever increasing speed.
    May you all find peace within 🙏
