Thomas Merton, Trappist monk, author, and student of Zen, remains one of the most important and beloved figures in the modern Christian contemplative movement. His writings, which bridge Eastern and Western spiritual thought, continue to inspire us with their real possibilities for immediate and direct experience of the divine. Now James Finley, who for six years lived, prayed, and studied with Brother Louis, as Merton was known at the Abbey of Gethsemani, shares with us the gifts passed on to him by this towering figure in Thomas Merton's Path to the Palace of Nowhere.
First presented at a series of popular retreats, this full audio program takes a participatory approach to Merton's most useful teachings, helping us to discover our true self...to disappear into God; to be submerged into his peace; to be lost in the secret of his face, as Merton said, through daily practices including contemplation, prayer, and faith. In the end we find ourselves in what the Taoist sage Chuang Tzu called the Palace of Nowhere, where all the many things are one. There is an Eastern teaching called transmission of mind, in which the enlightened mind embodied in the master is manifest in the student's awakening. It is in this spirit that James Finley invites us to follow Thomas Merton's Path to the Palace of Nowhere.

Growth is the only evidence of life and Thomas Merton's path to wholeness is not a journey for the faint of heart. Be prepared not to be pampered.
If you are serious about your spiritual life, you will be moved to action but not action packed. It all depends on where you are before you enter Merton's Palace of Nowhere.
Personally I could have used a little more of a boost but I can go to other author's like Richard Rohr. In reality I have to go within myself to best understand how the Spirit of God is working through me. Sometimes very subtle and other times it's like a wake up call in the middle of the night.,(many times through dreams) It all depends on what you are ready to accept on your quest.
God doesn't go where He/She is not invited. If you are brave enough to invite a guest into your heart you will receive the gift of grace to further the relationship. In the end, as it is in the beginning. it's all about the relationship
