The Contemplative Soul

Revelation and The Contemplative Life

“For what is a Christian life? Nothing else than a human being contemplating his uncertain end”. . .in the Presence of a Living God. Martin Moller, contemplative-mystic. Is he relevant in an age of speed and mind-staggering data? 

What can this simple preacher of c1590 bring to our early 21^st Century intellect and insights?  Political, economic and environmental uncertainty.  Wars and rumors of wars.  Curtains of Dark Understanding all but hide The Light.  But wait!  Are we here on the Planet with nothing personal to guide us?  Here and there The Light can be found. Through the curtains a small glimmer of Light strikes our attention.  And how can we see it lest we are at times deep within our Spirit listening to The One? 

We falter and loose our way.  We do the things that people do. We have families.  We make for ourselves a career.  We stop occasionally to consider The Light.  We begin to recognize it's Presence.  It comes to fullness and suddenly we stand rejoicing in a Pillar of Light.   A beautiful, bright Path appears.  We are no more lost in The Uncertainty of history in radical dovetail towards Eternity.  We have not been left without many Personal Guides to usher us into The Mystery. “ The Path Of The Just Is As The Shining Light, That Shineth More And More Unto The Perfect Day.” Prov.4:18. 

The Bible, heavily layered with mystery and encoded with meaning, meaning available to those who, as Martin Moller would exhort live, at least in measure, The Contemplative Life.

With grateful hearts we welcome with exuberance the Gift of Light from Martin Moller, nearly 500 years hidden from most of the world, but now, “just in the nick of time,” as Paul the Apostle might say, we have Light for our Path along a darkened road.
