One of the insights I received is there is not much difference in the people you meet in the world of business and those in the world of church ministry.
Often we consider the Kingdom of God as a goal that we seek to attain as we march through life from cradle to grave. And that is true. And we have to be careful of the wolves, dressed as lambs that we meet in our lifetime.
But another way that Jesus talks about the Kingdom of God is when he says that the Kingdom of God is at hand, that it’s right here .
And I think that Christian meditation is one way to access the Kingdom of God that is at hand. But even in that discipline, there are wolves disguised as sheep. These are the thoughts, distractions, emotions that take us away from the mantra.
Meditation is not a passive nor a restful exercise. It is actually quite a demanding discipline
John Main, who re-introduced Christian meditation to the West summed it up by saying there’s only one primary rule in Christian meditation: repeat your mantra.
Similar to the number one law that Jesus proclaimed : love God with all your heart your soul and your mind. The rest is secondary.

This is wonderful, Andre. I like your interpretation as an interior journey.
