God is at once both The Creator and The Created, a Pure Energy that impacts upon Itself. It is First Cause. It is Every Effect. It is the seat of all wisdom, the wellspring of all desire, the fountainhead of all power, and the origin of all reality. It is, in a single word, Love.

I was walking in the park with Cathy O’Conner one day and we were talking about our community. I was sharing the history and we had both been listening to James Finley and out popped the phrase a community of Awakened hearts. This is a transcript of Finley’s description of community:
“Thomas Merton, in the Asian Journal, wrote, just before he died, he said in effect. But sometimes it happens that some one breaks through. Someone discovers that person's breakthrough, and they sit together. And there is formed there in that place a contemplative community which no one can ever destroy. No one can ever destroy it, because it is not composed of compound things. It is not invested in keeping itself in existence, approving itself, of asserting itself, of proclaiming this, or proclaiming that, is indestructible in its very poverty, and being nothing other than, the community of awakened hearts.”

Author Laura Swan explains: “Apatheia is purity of heart. The ammas [desert mothers] teach us to intentionally let go of all that keeps us from the single-minded pursuit of God: feelings and thoughts that bind us, cravings and addictions that diminish our sense of worth, and attachments to self-imposed perfectionism. Apatheia is nourished by simplicity grounded in abundance of the soul.”
