the contemplative life and the spiritual community

[jillatay]

Another excellent discourse. Isn't it funny how common sense is what you are saying but is so often not applied in these situations. Well done, thanks.

@jillatay Thank-you, Jill, yes common sense is something few people bring to religion; however, I have found common sense is precisely what we need to lead a contemplative life

I love you use the same language I do (I think I commented that before). you can only find discernment with the greeks as diakrisis (the early monks' top virtue), or with the yogis as the word viveka.

@aglorincz Yes, discrimination is a key component to every contemplative tradition. viveka and diakrisis are just some of those terms.
