during contemplative prayer steer clear of withdrawing into yourself. I also don’t want you outside, above, behind, or on one side or the other of yourself. “Where then,” you ask, “will I be? If I take your advice, I’ll end up ‘nowhere’!” You’re right. Well said. That’s exactly where I want you, because nowhere physically is everywhere spiritually. Make sure that your contemplative work is fully detached from the physical.
