“This is the path of prayer-contemplative prayer, that is, as distinct from simple prayers of supplication and thanksgiving-which is a specific discipline of thought, desire, and action, one that frees the mind from habitual prejudices and appetites, and allows it to dwell in the gratuity and glory of all things. As an old monk on Mount Athos once told me, contemplative prayer is the art of seeing reality as it truly is; and, if one has not yet acquired the ability to see God in all things, one should not imagine that one will be able to see God in himself.” IfsShouldMindArtRealityAbleActionDesirePrayerSimpleAbilityPathImagineSeeingDisciplineGloryAll ThingsPrejudiceAppetiteImagine ThatMonkHabitualContemplativeAbility To SeeSupplicationContemplative PrayerGratuity Author:David Bentley

“Voices of the glorified urge us onward. They who have passed from the semblances of time to the realities of eternity call upon us to advance. The rest that awaits us invites us forward. We do not pine for our rest before God wills it. We long for no inglorious rest. We are thankful rather for the invaluable training of difficulty, the loving discipline of danger and strife. Yet in the midst of it all the prospect of rest invites us heavenward. Through all, and above all, God cries, "Go forward!" "Come up higher!” LongRealitySpiritualityVoiceCryDangerHigherDisciplineTrainingEternityDifficultyCome UpGods WillUrgesMidstInvitesStrifeInvaluableSemblance Author:William James
“No system can long command the loyalties of men and women which does not expect of them certain measures of discipline, and particularly self-discipline. The cost in comfort may be great. The sacrifice may be real. But this very demanding reality is the substance of which comes character and strength and nobility. Permissiveness never produced greatness. Integrity, loyalty, and strength are virtues whose sinews are developed through the struggles that go on within as we practice self-discipline under the demands of divinely spoken truth.” MenMayLongDoeRealSelfCharacterRealityCertainPracticeStruggleVirtueSacrificeGreatnessGoes OnDisciplineIntegrityComfortCostDemandMen And WomenLoyaltyCommandSubstanceBeing RealSelf DisciplineNobility Author:Gordon B.

“It's a difficult thing to describe theology, what it means and how it disciplines thinking.

“There's a snobbery at work in architecture. The subject is too often treated as a fine art, delicately wrapped in mumbo-jumbo.

“When you have learned, through discipline, to simplify your life, and so practiced the mindfulness of meditation, and through it loosened the hold of aggression, clinging, and negativity on your whole being, the wisdom of insight can slowly dawn.

“When we think of training ourselves in godliness, we usually think of the traditional spiritual disciplines, but it can also be practical activities like taking a nature walk or listening to music - whatever helps us draw closer to God.

“I have naturally formed the habit of restraining my thoughts. A thoughtless word hardly ever escaped my tongue or pen. Experience has taught me that silence is part of the spiritual discipline of a votary of truth. We find so many people impatient to talk.

“In anthropology, which historically exists to 'give voice' to others, there is no greater taboo than self-revelation. The impetus of our discipline, with its roots in Western fantasies about barbaric others, has been to focus primarily on 'cultural' rather than 'individual' realities. The irony is that anthropology has always been rooted in an 'I' - understood as having a complex psychology and history - observing a 'we' that, until recently, was viewed as plural, ahistorical, and nonindividuated.” GivingHas BeensSelfRealityIndividualVoiceFantasyPsychologyGreaterFocusDisciplineUnderstoodRootsComplexesWesternIronyRevelationsRootedObservingTabooAnthropologyBarbaricImpetusSelf Revelation Book:The Vulnerable Observer: Anthropology That Breaks Your Heart Source: The Vulnerable Observer: Anthropology That Breaks Your Heart
