Meditation for Thursday 24th April 2025
Czech Tomas Halik authored a book which demonstrates that he is a visionary thinker.
In “The Afternoon of Christianity” he interweaves philosophy, theology, sociology, and psychology and has a great deal to say about spirituality and meditation.
“The contemplative approach to life changes human life from a monologue into a dialogue – it is about something other than human self-assertion, the technical transformation of nature, or the manipulation of society by power, something other than an engineering approach to the world and to history.
It is about being silent, listening, trying to understand, persevering in the search for an authentic answer.
When the technical and manipulative approach to the world is not tempered by a contemplative one, the world of humans is under threat.”
For meditators Tomas’ words give us a great deal to reflect on……
