- What is your attitude towards God? This might be the great question for our time. It raises the issue of your relationship with God. Do you believe in God? How do you feel about God?
By a series of reflections on the scriptures, events in the lives of the saints, and world tragedies, Thomas Keating unfolds the mystery of the question “Who is God?” by letting God introduce God's self to us. The key is found in Matthew 6:6 and its application to the practice of Centering Prayer. Through this prayer practice, one begins to experience one’s basic goodness and the need for the unloading of the unconscious in the hands of the divine therapist. This is a key to an open mind and an open heart.

This talk was given at the 2010 Contemplative Outreach Annual Conference in Chicago.

wonderful!
What a blessing to stumble upon this graced gift. Thank you Fr Keating for ‘Who is God?’ and to those who brought the recording to TH-cam of such truth and such hope.. So hard to find adequate words.
💕👍
Fr Thomas is just so kindly and thoughtful 🙂 even when he basically says "Show me Your God and I will show you who you are" 😳🫢 Myself , Im really giving a lot of thought to 'what do I REALLY believe' because I believe my experiences of transcendence and contemplation are truly reality. But it is surprisingly hard to do that George Orwell doublethink thing and hold one reality and exist in a parallel universe that is modern western society🤦 Im currently asking God for the opportunity to be an anchorite for a few years, I have some suggestions for how that might occur🤔 Im giving God a bit of space to figure it out👍👍😂
Thank you to whomever put this on TH-cam. This is a gem!
Amen! God joins everybody in their most tender, wounded place(s). Especially me.
❤️🌹🫂🌌
Thank you for making this available to us. Such wisdom of God
The human condition. The way we are. This is such a crucial listen for those who seem they cannot find God.
I love you Father Thomas. Wherever you are, my eternal gratitude for your loving teachings
This is a brilliant posting--the absence of a picture to look at gently provides my attention the way into deep interior awareness. Having the transcript is a boon. Thank you, beyond words, thank you.
Lol
This is indeed a treasure. Especially after many years of practicing, and sharing this experience of prayer with others, it's good to listen again to our good Fr. Thomas.
God Bless.
Thanks for this…keep uploading. God Bless
Thank you, we will, on the 10th of each month.
God is my one and only love....Papa Dios
Thankyou so very much Father Keating! Beautiful heartwarming uplifting description on WHO IS GOD.❤❤❤
"Who is God?" What an engaging question. May I take the rest of this life to answer?
Indulge yourself, clothe God with attributes deemed valuable. Wear Him on your cuff.
Or be free from opinion and simply say, "I am."
We don't clothe God. God clothes us. We discover God's attributes by our search in reason
🙏❤️🙏
38:00 - 44:00 is a 🗝️ to the Kingdom.
God is creation.
Creation points to God. Without creation There is still God . God's word brought creation into being. The only uncaused Being. Who shares His life because God loves
Amen
Father Keating is SUCH a good Buddhist!!
😝👍
😂
Spirituality is natural goodness.
God is not a person; God is a Presence Personified in us.
My thoughts about our Father.
If there were no humans and no universe...there is still God. Person in this sense.. is Being with a will actually from whence all creation comes. What makes Being super extraordinary is God is love .
GOD IS A PERSON!
I decided out of question like this...that God is the invisible intelligence of his universe.. Now..god almighty 💜🌸🌱👑
But the Lord
God is like a landowner who went to a far away place, so probably never know, creator creates.
Selfish egos driving force still be rubbing sticks together to get warm.
Who put in the work so people could contemplate whatever
❤ 🙏
There are many gods!
Not really, just different names for the universal power 🙂
The ancients had God's that are now abandoned, we were born into a time of the old God's called Jesus and God, or Yahweh, or whatever, but they are just God's to rule us, invented by people from the past. Abandon all God's.
How does he even know that this loving presences is "god" _in any sense_ at all ? And even if it is, the fact remains, as he himself says, that this god is not interested or capable of removing our suffering as a person. Apparently his love then is only directed towards our true being, but not the personal creature we think we are.
At 1:06:10 it becomes obvious then that he is _not_ speaking about the just god that the bible reports on, yet he calls him the god of Israel and the christians. What makes him think that the god of his experience has anything to do with Yahwe ?
At 1:08:35 he explains suffering or evil as necessary for the full extent of understanding god. So it is a sort of growth pain which will be relieved and overcompensated. But that would imply that full understanding was _not_ primordially present in god himself, that god was primordially ignorant about himself, at least in some measure. How is that a perfect god ?
A fool's question from a millenium ago.
who = personal & God = Spiritual. wrong question. (::)
God
God is the Lord of hosts. Besides Him, there is no God (Isaiah 44:6).
God told His Son to “sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool” (Psalm 110, Matthew 22:44).
God is the only one who knows ALL things: “But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not even the angels in heaven, NEITHER THE SON, but the Father” (Mark 13:32).
God created and raised Jesus from the dead (Colossians 1:15; 1:18). This is the meaning of prototokos-birth order, first child born.
God will quicken all who belong to him with His power and spirit that dwells in us, the same power and spirit that dwells in Jesus and raised him from the dead (Romans 8:11).
God sent Jesus to show us His Way, His Truth, and His Life because those who do not choose the Father have chosen death.
It is God who we must be reconciled to through Jesus Christ, for it is the Father who is the greatest of all (John 14:28).
God is Yahweh and He returned as Brian Leonard Golightly Marshall
Lol
@@EddieLancelot I witnessed his conversation with Pope Benedict who tried to announce this on TV but was sadly beaten up in 2013
@@hayleybonnell8837 I thought you were being facetious. No, this person is not Yahweh. Think about how tempting it would be to say you were God incarnate; and how simple it is to claim the Pope recognized you, but somehow there is no proof of it. If Mr. Marshall were the Lord, that's all anyone in the Vatican would be talking about.
Only the pure in heart recognise God Yahweh.
@@hayleybonnell8837 What makes you believe Mr Marshall is G-d in human form?
Certainly people like this guy didn't put in any work just talk
God is the physical world of life you are standing on. Hell is the perfect memory of your evil activity here; you can be taken into earth's memory and you will.
