Heartfulness: Transformation in Christ condenses the accumulated wisdom of Fr. Thomas Keating's many years of teaching and practice into nine essential areas for study, reflection, and spiritual growth for our time. The interviewer, Betty Sue Flowers, draws out of Fr. Thomas the importance of silence and contemplative practice as a means of opening the mind and heart and one's whole being to God, or the Ultimate Reality. Captured over a two-day period and in nine hours of interview sessions, Fr. Thomas guides the listener toward an understanding of the contemplative dimension of the Gospel and its extraordinary implications and applications for personal freedom and global peace. He explains that the inherent human quest for happiness is itself the greatest proof of God's existence.

Autorenporträt
Beloved Trappist monk Thomas Keating is best known as the one of the primary founders of the Centering Prayer movement, which made the contemplative dimension of Christianity accessible through a simple method of silent, still meditation. He is also known as the convener of the Snowmass Interreligious Conference, which helped birth the global Inter-spiritual movement. Born in New York City in 1923, Keating's open invitation to people of all walks to embark on a spiritual journey, coupled with his emphasis on the oneness of all creation, made him a 20th-century harbinger of 21st-century ideals. By promoting the practice of contemplative prayer through the non-profit Contemplative Outreach, Keating reached Christians within and beyond his Roman Catholic tradition, including 12 Step groups, incarcerated people, and people of all traditions and none-simultaneously connecting with contemplatives worldwide. Keating's work effectively expanded the common ground where spiritual diversity thrives in unity with what he called "the human family."Keating often mused on the transformative power of silence, as revealed in one of his favorite sayings "Silence is God's first language. Everything else is a poor translation." Keating's love of silence infused his monastic life and spilled into the many books he wrote, including Open Mind, Open Heart, Invitation to Love, Intimacy with God, and Divine Therapy and Addiction. Thomas Keating died on the 25th of October 2018 at the age of 95.
