Sowing the Seed

 

“A man sowed seed in the ground … day and night it grew, how he did not know”. The deeper we know God, the less we know. This is the challenge and the excitement of the spiritual quest. In meditation we learn what unlearning means and we experience a liberation from an over-cerebral approach to faith.

Laurence Freeman is a Benedictine monk and teaches meditation in the Christian tradition around the world. Close to his heart is the integration of contemplation and action, the spiritual education of the young and friendship between different faiths. His books include The Selfless Self and Jesus: The Teacher Within.
