The Available Mind

by Carol R. Murphy

Overview

In the present essay Carol Murphy surveys some of the new thinking about meditation and suggests that even those who have not yet become adepts in contemplation can live in a greater state of awareness with minds available to the Holy Spirit.

Religious living is more than being intellectually interested in the nature of God and man’s worship of him; it must involve a seeking of his presence, and living in accordance with what you find. To have a sense of presence, you must be present yourself.

About the Author

This is the eleventh pamphlet from the pen of Carol Murphy who, in her journey away from secular agnosticism, has been exploring the roles of reason, revelation and mystical experience in the mature religious faith. She has found a new respect among scientists for the healing nature of love in psychotherapy, for the process of dying with dignity, and now for the art of meditation.

In the present essay she surveys some of the new thinking about meditation and suggests that even those who have not yet become adepts in contemplation can live in a greater state of awareness with minds available to the Holy Spirit.
