Fr Laurence proposes meditation as a work of deep prayer which progressively deepens our relationship with Jesus. As the way of the mantra moves us out of self-fixation and focuses our attention on the presence of Jesus within us, we become aware of Jesus paying attention to us personally. In this mutual recognition relationship begins. We see Jesus first as our teacher, then as our personal saviour, and as our hearts and minds expand, we see him as the cosmic Christ present everywhere. We then experience the mystery of Christ being in us and we in Christ. It is a union of lives.
