Every time you have a major breakthrough in self-knowledge, and see the way the divine works within your own psyche, external events, and interior experiences of the divine, you are transformed in some degree.
--Thomas Keating
“You should not take prayer too seriously. There is something playful about God. You only have to look at a penguin ... to realize that God likes to play little jokes on creatures.”
Thomas Keating
True asceticism is not the rejection of the world, but the acceptance of everything that is good, beautiful, and true. It is learning how to use our faculties and the good things of the world as God’s gifts rather than expressions of selfishness.
— Invitation to Love: The Way of Christian Contemplation by Thomas Keating
We may think of prayer as thoughts or feelings expressed in words. But this is only one expression. . . . Prayer is the opening of mind and heart—our whole being—to God, the Ultimate Mystery, beyond thoughts, words, and emotions. Through grace we open our awareness to God whom we know by faith is within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than choosing—closer than consciousness itself. —Thomas Keating

God's first language is Silence. Everything else is a translation.
Thomas Keating
The Christian path is not about defining God but of enlarging our idea of God. Even with the help of doctrine, ritual, good deeds, and moral certainties, without the experience of God’s mercy and forgiveness, we do not really know who God is. - Thomas Keating #WTSInspire
