[@Templeborough]

My late wife and I went to Avila a couple of times. It appeared to have some significance for us. This is beyond catholicism and far above "religion". God bless you for posting this.

[@joannadavignon1608]

Catholicism is about believing in the seen and unseen; this involves tuning our lives with the spiritual realm. For example, you wouldn’t want to tell others that they need treatment without acknowledging their use of ‘tools’ as they live a life of recovery.

[@theresmore2learn516]

I’m so very sorry for the loss with of your wife! Peace be you!!

[@francisfischer7620]

[@artiefount]

It is Jesus Himself, not any denomination, who ties everything together. That is the true sense of the word 'religion '. He came to establish a relationship, to restore, the rest follows but means nothing without the relationship.

Focus on your breath dear one, calm down stay in the moment. Past and future might create desire/ suffering/anxtiey. Often things of the past are suffered more in imagination throughout time. Let not the arrow of yesterday keep hitting you till eternity. Dont insult consciousness by forcing it to take identity or try to trap it in a box.

hiw powerful. i was raised catholic, and left the religion when i could. i have had 3 major consciousness spontaneous awakenings. i am very drawn to archangels & the imp mystics from my religion of origin. and st teresa really speaks of THE LOVING PRESENCE, no matter how wwe label that. blessings

[@sunsioux444]

yes I can totally relate

[@jkd6969]

Do explore Advaita Vedhanta and you will be pleasantly enhanced! To personalize a religion as your own you only limit yourself! All belongs to the same One source.

[@TheDasherlad]

Fear as Teresa says is the culprit. Be vigilant. See it in all its seductive guises. It is pernicious. Anything you think you are or take yourself to be is not you. Reject all and you will come to realize what you are not. What you are can never be known.

"Thou shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart..all your soul..all your MIND..and all your strength.." (Mark 12: 30 ) So we can be peaceful, and still use our minds..It's not 'thinking' that creates the problems..It's "What" we choose to think about that does.. "Whatsoever things are true and honest, just, pure and lovely; Whatever things are of good report..if there be any virtue and be any praise..think on these things.." (Philipians 4: 8 )

The deepest I ever delved into the solitude of silence was in a Buddhist Ashram. Taking vows of chastity and silence for 10 days Studying and practicing meditation The Bible scratches the surface with “ be silent and know God “ without much further explanation

[@michigandersea3485]

I take refuge in the Perfectly Enlightened One of Immeasurable Light and Life. This is the translation of the Pure Land Buddhist mantra Namo Amitabha Buddha, Namu Amida Butsu in Japanese. But we can just as easily see the Christian Godhead, the Holy Trinity, as the Perfectly Enlightened One of Immeasurable Light and Life. The teachings of St. Teresa of Avila remind me much of those of Jodo Shinshu (Japanese True Pure Land Buddhism). May the teachings of Christian mystics be the place where Western believers who find peace and wisdom in the teachings of Buddhism reconnect with their Christian heritage and recognize the True Word was there all along, as well.
