We live in cultures of anger and blame, of sloganeering and comparisons with others. The result? Highly habituated reactive mental habits leading to fragmented identities and the sense that union with God is something we must acquire. Rooted in the conviction that awakening to the depths of our humanity is awakening unto God, Christian contemplative practice invites us to discover a gracious stillness that is always present, and which releases the clutter and projective fantasies of the reactive mind 鈥� if we allow it. Brian Robinette鈥檚 talk addresses this awakening process, and the luminous depths it opens, as key to our becoming human in polarized times.
