Hello, and welcome to Methods, an exploration in guided prayer and meditation.

This episode is part of our Being-With series, a subtle nod to the philosopher Martin Heidegger and his term referencing the Mitsein aspect of being. That the very nature of humanity is to be in relationship to others. We are inauthentic when we fail to recognize how much and in what ways how we think of ourselves and how we habitually behave is influenced by our social surroundings. We are authentic when we pay attention to that influence and decide for ourselves whether to go along with it or not.

Today we’re talking with Amos Smith.

Amos E. Smith has earned bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees—all in religious studies. He is a long-term centering prayer practitioner, workshop leader, writer, and founder of Recover Christianity’s Mystic Roots. His most recent book, His first book, Healing The Divide: Recovering Christianity’s Mystic Roots is part of the curriculum for the Living School of The Center for Action and Contemplation. Amos and his organization work toward slowly transforming consciousness through the Christian contemplative tradition.
