Contemplative prayer, deep roots of the Christian faith has remained hidden and secret in the hands of the contemplative saints over many years, and one may wonder why contemplatives monks and nuns practise these mystical prayer in the dark. Why they are closing the glitzy world and pursue these things when they could get to heaven as easily as we can simply decent and honest. Why they hide away?
Most Christians believe that meditation consists of thinking about God, but it starts only in contemplative saints prière.Les claim that only when one abandons all ideas of God and will enter into spiritual dark night of the spirit will completely drop of all imaginations and finally come face to face with God.
Saint John of the cross;Saint and doctor of the Catholic Church, coined the term "Dark Night of the soul".this title is one of his poems that describes his trip to spiritual development and the measures it has taken towards union with God. A lower level in a dark night of the senses and a night dark spirit, the dark night of the soul is a description of the psychological one change goes through a serious spiritual trip.
In the dark night of the senses, purification in the form of losing all desire for what previously excited the senses is abandoned. Dark night of the spirit, which is purification of the ego and imagination, implies total and unconscious darkness on spiritual understanding. Naked, one located in intellectual and spiritual darkness before God.
Prayer and meditation finally comes to put an end to this final dark night of the spirit. Only a thirst for God, who apparently abandoned the practitioner now remains.It is a purgatory, a feeling of abandonment .but what is really abandoned? Under cover of a projection of an idea of God is the idea of self and ego, and it is what is really abandoned. It is a trial which all sincere seekers must endure if they want to turn their idea of God an authentic encounter with God. a difference which is split between heaven and Earth.
St. John also spoke to the fragile health of many seeking unity with Dieu.Il said that it was as if God tears in an old House to allow a new mansion, suitable for God to reside in.Many applicants spiritually advanced of all religions have experienced this phenomenon of the disease.A passage, a test of courage and intention, and only sincere pass this test énorme.La disease to an applicant that includes these things is a blessing, indicating that he or considered for great things.Patience and faith are required.
Those attached to the world and creatures of the world (as Saint John refers to human beings humans) will not include or be willing to pass through these essais.Ils remain "secure" to their property and their families, streamline their comfort such or such entries and just learning too late that they relied on things that disappoint them ultimately .the ' illusion of time will be linear with these people, itself seems to be real and suffering and illusion will be torture their minds ceaselessly.
But the saints contemplatives has not the made .c ' is something done curieuse.Il one wonder what they know that we don't know.
