Weekly Teachings
Teachings from the last 8 weeks
The nature of the Divine
Early Christian Fathers stressed that we could not know God with our rational mind. No image, concept, or name could ever do justice.
Clement of Alexandria
How the early Church Fathers see this connection between our Martha and our Mary, between the ‘ego’ and the ‘self’, our Divine spark, is best illustrated in the teaching of Clement of Alexandria (150-215).
St Paul
The teaching of Jesus, St John and Meister Eckhart brings out the importance of recognizing the two sides of our human nature.
The integration of the human and the Divine
The integration of the two sides of our character, the active and the contemplative, is seen as the integration of our human and our Divine side.
Jesus as a teacher of contemplation
In the following instalments of the ‘Weekly Teaching’ I would like to share with you some extracts from ‘Journey to the Heart’.
Interfaith Dialogue
The Interfaith element, respecting the Truth in all religions, which very much forms part of the ethos of the World Community of Christian Meditation, has also been an important element in the Christian tradition right from the beginning.
The problem with silence
In our Western Culture the need for silence and stillness is not acknowledged. Many even feel uncomfortable with silence, are even fearful of it
Self-knowledge and healing
To ask people to become more aware of what blocks them on the path to true self-knowledge often meets with resistance.
