To enter into God’s dance of exuberant joy and fullness of life we must descend. This descent is a descent into the deepest reaches of our consciousness and our unconscious. It is really an ascent to God who dwells in the secret recesses of our hearts. It is simply growing into greater, expanded consciousness through prayer.
To pray to the Father in the inner sanctuary of our heart, with the clearest, purest consciousness of his abiding love, and our sincere desire to surrender totally to him by a reformed life of love towards others, we must get rid of any dispersion of inner attention. Love does not grow when we are scattered about in our thoughts, but rather when we are deeply focused and concentrated on the one we love.
