Presented in this book are two themes: the transformation of human consciousness and the evolution of consciousness in the human family as a whole and in each of us as individuals. "Truth is one. The paths to Truth and to a loving union with Truth are many. ... the call to transcendence, to union with the Divine, is issued to each and every one of us humans, but there are many ways open for us to respond to it. " (Pennington) M. Basil Pennington, a Trappist monk, co-founder of the Centering Prayer movement, and leading author, speaks from the abundance of the monastic tradition and his own deep experience from years of practicing and teaching Centering Prayer around the world.
