The world is “in a place of tremendous crisis... [and of] incredible ignorance, compared to the truth that the mystical life has been trying to share over the centuries,” believed one of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time, Trappist monk Fr Thomas Keating OCSO. However, he also believed it is a time of tremendous opportunity, because “we are on the edge of another axial period,” moving to a higher, reflective consciousness “that leads us ultimately into divine consciousness”, and becoming one with an “ocean of love”. In this interview, one of the last he gave before his death in October 2018, he talks to author, psychotherapist and teacher of meditation, Loch Kelly. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAy2X-8vgrM
