Jack, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother….may you find comfort in the fact “that she is at last at peace , enfolded in God’s wings…” Rest assured of my prayers for you and your family at this difficult time.
Jack rest assured of my prayers for both you and your Mom. I am sure this is a truly difficult time for all concerned. The poet May Sarton (in her poem “Santos:New Mexico”) eloquently states:
Return to the most human, nothing less
Will teach the angry spirit, the bewildered heart,
The torn mind, to accept the whole of its duress,
And pierced with anguish, at last act for love.”In all your trials and tribulations may you go in love….enveloped in prayer…..
1. What inspired you to take this course? Were you familiar with Meditations on the Tarot prior to this course?
I have pursued Christian mystical writings for many years but had not heard about MOTT. I do follow Carl on social media and have read some of his works and when he introduced the course I dare say I was intrigued. I am all in for a deep dive…
2. Do you have experience with Centering Prayer, lectio divina, or other forms of contemplative spiritual practice? How have exercises like this been helpful or meaningful for you?
I have been doing Centering Prayer for 30 years, as well as lectio divina, the Divine Office and Mindfulness meditations daily. These exercises have been my lifeline and have helped me to remain centered and focused on what really matters in my life, the mystical journey…..
3. Is there a particular goal or hope that you bring with you as you participate in this course? What dream do you have for participating in a course like this?
My goal is to experience on a heart level, the thoughts and reflections of these meditations ,in order to organically assimilate on a holistic level( mind,body,spirit) the mystical realities of the spiritual journey. I look forward to walking this journey with all participating in this course.
