    God has pushed me from a bible beating christian who was refined by fire 10 years ago to an acceptation of so much more than “the belief that chirst existed.” My new awakening has been so intense and fast and full of tears and fear and pure anguish. Thank u so much for documenting/sharing this. Transcending duality through Jesus Christ is something I could never imagined but answers every question and doubt I ever hid from. I love u all.

    Oh how I love this man. I discovered his writings at a time in my life when Depression seemed to have won and God had taken a backward seat. I found hope and a renewed sense of God’s purpose in my life. RIP

    TRUE God’s unconditional LOVE is everywhere, I first learn of you Blessed Father Thomas Keating sometime in 2015 through my Jewish Mental Health Clinician whom I admire much... I was not aware of this treasure in the Catholic Church... little did I know that the Spirit that led me to RCIA ... would eventually lead me here.

      Allowing God to love us! what a novel idea! When I took THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY in 2017, Father Keating's words...GOD is waiting for you to accept HIS
      EFFULGENT LOVE! This injunction was both electrifying and revolutionizing! NO ONE has touched my Soul and bid me grow as Beloved Thomas has! God bless everyone on this Path of consent, emptying, surrender. Elizabeth

    Keatings' prayer/meditation is the same as TM. his philosophy is similar to Maharishi's with Christian beliefs.
