John Main 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. So the contemplative journey, journey of meditation will lead us to a self-knowledge of a different order, a different kind of self-knowledge, which is to know ourselves as a mystery. And the mystery doesn’t mean something that is confusing. A mystery is simply something that cannot be put into words or expressed fully in concepts.
