Infos

Beloved Trappist monk Thomas Keating is best known as one of the primary founders of the Centering Prayer movement, which made the contemplative dimension of Christianity accessible through a simple method of silent, still meditation. He is also known as the convener of the Snowmass Interreligious Conference, which helped spawn the global Inter-spiritual movement. Keating's open invitation to people of all walks to embark on a spiritual journey, coupled with his emphasis on the oneness of all creation, made him a 20th-century harbinger of 21st-century ideals."e;If something is something, it cannot be its opposite-or so it might seem. Not so with God, because God is...beyond opposites."e; In Thomas Keating's signature wise and whimsical style, this little book invites us to think big. "e;Think of God in a very big way. And if you do, that is too small."e; Transcribed from a 2012 keynote address, God Is All in All introduces some mighty themes-including nature as revelation, mystical teachings on interdependence, new cosmologies of religion and science, and evolutionary understandings of what it means to be human-in a much-needed update to theologies Keating describes as "e;out of date."e; Outlining a three-part spiritual journey from recognizing a divine Other, to becoming the Other, to the realizing there is no other, Keating boldly states "e;Religion is not the only path to God."e; Thoroughly Christian and fully interspiritual, this much-beloved outlier Trappist monk offers a message of "e;compassion, not condemnation"e; in a contemplative embrace of the cross as a symbol of humility, inviting those who would become co-redeemers of the world to join him in the kind of meditation and contemplative prayer that allows the transcendent self to emerge. "e;Be still and you will know, not by the knowledge of the mindbut by the knowledge of the heart, who God is and who you are."e;
