An infinite depth of mystery

According to John Main, meditation is important, because we must free ourselves from this mechanistic view  ( How long will it take? how can I speed up the process?). This view applies to and controls both the way we see ourselves and the way we are helping to shape society. And the only way we can make a difference is by changing ourselves so that there are more contemplative people who are resisting and transcending the mechanistic process. And he says meditation is also the most practical step that anyone can take to rediscover himself, not as a machine or as a cog in a wheel, but to know ourselves as an infinite depth of mystery.
