Paperback. Zustand: Good. A distillation of over seventy years as a monastic and more than three decades of writing on centering prayer, Reflections on the Unknowable is Fr. Thomas Keating's latest volume on how we might develop our intimacy with God and our experience of the Christian contemplative tradition.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Thomas Keating has spent more than fifty years in sustained practice and devotion to the spiritual life.

The spiritual journey teachesus, first, to believe in the Divine Indwelling within us, fully present and energizing every level of our being; second, to recognize that this energy is benign, healing, and transforming; and third, to enjoy its gradual unfolding step-by-step both in prayer and action.…
