91. What is Divine Therapy? Part 1, with Thomas Keating

As Fr. Thomas neared the end of his life, he often talked about the dying process and tells us not to worry too much. If we are unable to accept the personal diminishment that Jesus recommends in Matthew 10:39, we will be transformed in the dying process. This “enormous Intelligence” that is guiding us with so much love and determination helps us to overcome our fear and to trust in the power of grace. The fact that we are on this spiritual journey and intentionally deepening our relationship with God provides us with the opportunity to experience transformation in this life, to become who we really are.

How do the videos in this course (at • The Spiritual Journey ... ) compare to the original video series, "The Spiritual Journey with Fr. Thomas Keating," (at • The Spiritual Journey ... )?
The videos in the course include most of the videos in the original five-part video series, shortened to include the most essential parts of those talks. In addition, the course videos include excerpts from other series, including four that Fr. Thomas recorded every three years in his latter years, which have not previously been released on RUclips: "Heartfulness," "The Gift of Life," "God is Love," and "That We May Be One." He considered these four series to be, in effect, parts 6 through 9 of the original five-part series.
