Contemplative practice offers us access to a deeper, more loving response to the world. Through contemplation, we connect with a reality beyond our physical brain and body. We tap into a pre-physical, free intelligence that provides clarity and compassion. This deeper awareness helps us see the world with love and insight, moving beyond judgment and labeling. Embracing this spiritual dimension allows us to confront injustice and suffering with grace and calmness. By fostering this inner clarity, we become more effective in our actions and more connected to the universe. Contemplation can indeed be transformative for us all.
May contemplative practice guide us to a deeper,
more loving response to the world, filling us with clarity,
compassion, and a profound connection to the universe.
