Title: Beyond Words and Thoughts
Description: Citadel Press. 1968. (ISBN: 9780806504476). Paperback. Paperback in good condition. Work honestly with everything you can find out about the nature of God and the nature of error because you will then begin to understand the nature of prayer. Once you understand the nature of God, you stop trying to reach out to God with your mind. It keeps you from praying the traditional prayer of begging and beseeching God. Prayer is then no longer words or thoughts; prayer is no longer asking God to do something or expecting something of God; prayer now has a whole new meaning. It is a state of silence in which you become receptive to the word of God. The mind is still; the spiritual faculty is alert; and in the silence the grace of God is received. This is prayer". "As long as you can abide in an inner stillness, do not be concerned whether you have words or thoughts because it might well be that you have gone beyond that place of needing, words and thoughts. Words and thoughts are part of the activity of the mind, and what we are trying to do is to rise above the activity of the mind into Grace". Used: Acceptable.
