“If we are changed by interaction with others on the surface level of our being, how much more will we be changed in the silence of meditation, when we enter the sphere of influence of our true self in Christ?” Kim Nataraja explains that in leaving thoughts and images behind and paying attention to the word in meditation, we transcend the ego and enter the Presence of God. It is a communion in love, in the depth of our being, and it changes us in a profound way. All we need to do is to be faithful to the daily practice of meditation, open to love, and to allow the Spirit of the Risen Christ to do its work of transformation.
