Mar. 7 segment of the weekly series "The Habit of Heartfulness" by Fr. Thomas Keating. Go to www.contemplativeoutreach.org for this week's segment and resources on all segments to date. From Contemplative Outreach, a global community practicing Centering Prayer.
It seems to me that Keating relates that one can transcend and include, since God is Transcendent, Immanent Creator and the Essence of Creation. Perhaps "transclude" would be a good word for this.

@Trundlebeth it's only linear and hierarchical to a point. development is like a ladder, but the final stage is inclusive of all the stages before it, the entire ladder. the final stage defies hierarchy. it even defies a linear progression. this is paradoxical, yes. :)

We are lucky that people like this have gone before us I think.

I'm not convinced by this purely linear, heirarichal (leaving the last stage behind and moving beyond) view of Spirituality. Too simplistic.
