He doesn't build a path with either one thing or another. What does he do then? Step by step he follows Providence... and only relies on the infallible, which is the present moment.
- Madame Guyon
Dear beloved,
Are you searching for GxD and/or do you want to learn how to pray and worship? The excerpt below, by our house philosopher Eric Baret, gives you a taste of our embodied worship training, consisting of online reading sessions, evenings and weekends. We would love to go on this journey of worship with you!
Question: Could you tell us how God's call made itself heard to you?
Answer: We don't get into this kind of formulation here. The words God, Life, etc, take us away from availability. It's all outside. That which happens doesn't deserve our attention. Only that which doesn't happen, that which does not depend on any cause, is interesting to us. That which does not happen cannot be named, doesn't have a past and cannot be part of memory.
When I realize that any direction I follow is always based on memory, and that all that could be grasped of a God could only be projection, the urge to experience or to formulate anything whatsoever leaves me. There remains a non-experience without any personal element. Nothing happens, only listening.
(Excerpt from ”Let the moon be free” by Eric Baret)
