And I'm touched to have played a role in contributing to your New Year experience.<br /><br />Namaste. {{{ reverential bow }}}<br /><br />There is no doubt that God's spirit lies deep within each of us. If only we could both manifest and "see" this all the time. I wonder if that, indeed, IS the Kingdom of Heaven.TheraPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684120043427738135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079768492368412111.post-16972316992220274222010-01-02T08:18:58.666-06:002010-01-02T08:18:58.666-06:00TheraP, thanks for a beautiful meditation, which h...TheraP, thanks for a beautiful meditation, which helps me start the new year on the right foot.<br /><br />I love how you weave together themes from various cultures and religious traditions here, to show how they all intersect in the deep heart inside us.William D.

And Kallistos Ware described reading about this concept (via Merton) this way:<br /><br />"In my life ... there have been certain texts, passages in poetry or prose, which once read have never been forgotten. Perhaps for the majority of us these decisive texts are few in number, but rare though they may be, they have altered our lives, helping to make us what we are." <br /><br />And he then goes on to cite the concept of <i>le point vierge</i> and Merton's quote, which I posted in an Addendum to "Merton on Nothingness" here:<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow">http://wisdom4nothing.blogspot.com/2009/10/merton-on-nothingness.html</a><br /><br />It touches me deeply that you too have been moved by this, as have I. It is clear that this is a "meeting point" not just with Holy Mystery. But with each other. The Kingdom of Heaven is indeed AMONG us!TheraPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684120043427738135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079768492368412111.post-50989752915147402532009-12-28T20:42:58.543-06:002009-12-28T20:42:58.543-06:00I love the description of the Virgin Heart.
