This review is from: Father Thomas Keating: The Contemplative Life (Home Use) (Amazon Instant Video)
I owe a great debt to Fr. Keating and I want to encourage you to have a chat with him. This video contains
a very clear distillation of many, many years of contemplative thought while genuinely searching for
contact and more- a relationship with God. Loving God is not possible unless a grace is granted. God will
remain to you a concept or projection of your own imagination. Defining what it is you mean by "loving" God
is difficult because of the 6 meanings of the word "love" in english. Father Keating will help you see
what is meant clearly.
Those warnings and encouragements given and then placed to the side, Fr. Keating will in this short interview show you
what genuine contact with your Creator is and why you have failed to gain it in the past and how
once knowing what it is you are asking to gain a relationship that is at once dissolving of your
personal being and accepting of you as you are as a person so that you may gain the ultimate
goal of being a person. It is a great discription of the process of being-of moving toward what is the
ultimate reason for being in the first place. I do hope God grants
you the grace to seek and love Him. You will find that without that grace, the task reverts back to simple
imagination and dryness due to lack of consolations and progress in healing. You must heal to gain the
prize, you see.
Listen to Father Keating and see if what I have told you is true. And if it is, if you too will owe him a great debt.
And if you , Father Keating, I and millions of others may meet again as true friends of Jesus and be adopted children
having made a most wonderous and difficult journey a personal resounding success.
The least you will gain is a few moments of genuine peace. Well worth your 45 minutes of listening to Father Keating.
