The Light of Christ

“The peculiar power of the light of Christ that it reveals to us reality as it is. Light is a form of energy that makes vision possible; the brighter the light the clearer the vision, the deeper the harmony. What we learn is that Christ is our light. The task of Christian meditation is simply to uncover the brilliance of the light of Christ in our own hearts.” From John Main, “The Way fo Enlightenment,” in Fully Alive (London: Canterbury Press, 2013), p.10.

Total Potential

“When we meditate we are still, body and soul, mind and spirit, entirely open to the presence of God, knowing that presence to be pure love, pure gentleness, pure forgiveness. In that presence we become who we are: creatures created by God, redeemed by the love of Jesus, creatures who are temples of the Holy Spirit.” From John Main, “Total Potential,” in Fully Alive (London: Canterbury Press, 2013), p.14.
