<p class="size-16" style="Margin-top: 0;Margin-bottom: 0;font-family: georgia,serif;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;" lang="x-size-16"><span class="font-georgia">In the 1950s and 1960s, Thomas Merton brought renewed interest to the contemplative tradition in the West. He became a Trappist monk and “left the world” for the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, where he learned the lessons of contemplation <em>and </em>action.</span></p><p class="size-16" style="Margin-top: 20px;Margin-bottom: 0;font-family: georgia,serif;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;" lang="x-size-16"><span class="font-georgia">Merton was spiritual director to James Finley, one of our CAC faculty members, for five and a half years. Finley recalls that when he voiced a complaint about something, Merton would tell him, “We don’t come to the monastery to get away from suffering; we come to
hold the suffering of all the world.” [1] This can only be done by plugging into a larger consciousness through contemplation. No longer focused on our individual private perfection—or what Merton called “our personal salvation project”—we become fully human and usable by opening our hearts to God.</span></p><p class="size-16" style="Margin-top: 20px;Margin-bottom: 0;font-family: georgia,serif;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;" lang="x-size-16"><span class="font-georgia">Through contemplation—holding the paradoxes of life—Merton struggled against “the evil [that] is in us all . . . [and] the blindness of a world that wants to end itself.” He fought against violence, war, racism, poverty, and consumerism. He wrote, “Those who continue to struggle are at peace. If God wills, they can pacify the world. For [the person] who accepts
the struggle in the name of Christ is delivered from its power by the victory of Christ.” [2]</span></p><p class="size-16" style="Margin-top: 20px;Margin-bottom: 0;font-family: georgia,serif;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;" lang="x-size-16"><span class="font-georgia">Many other modern mystics have brought awareness of and tools for contemplative practice to Western Christianity, from Evelyn Underhill (1875–1941), Teilhard de Chardin (1881–1955), Simone Weil (1909–1943), to current teachers such as Barbara Holmes and Mirabai Starr. Cynthia Bourgeault, who is herself a contemplative leader and a CAC faculty member, describes the origins of Centering Prayer and Christian meditation in the mid-1970s:</span></p><blockquote style="Margin-top: 20px;Margin-bottom: 20px;Margin-left: 0;Margin-right: 0;padding-left: 14px;border-left: 4px solid #c4c4c4;"><p class="size-16" style="Margin-top: 20px;Margin-bottom: 20px;font-family: georgia,serif;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;" lang="x-size-16"><span class="font-georgia" style="Margin-top: 20px;">Thomas Keating [born 1923] and John Main (1926–1982) responded to Merton’s prophetic call, developing simple meditation methods solidly rooted in the Christian spiritual tradition and suitable for use not only within the cloister walls, but in a world hungry for the recovery of its spiritual roots. All three of these men recognized meditation not as a newfangled innovation, let alone the grafting onto Christianity of an Eastern practice, but rather, as <em style="Margin-top: 20px;">something that had originally been at the very center of Christian practice and had become lost. </em>[3]</span></p></blockquote>
