Reseña del libro "The Only Mind Worth Having: Thomas Merton and the Child Mind (en Inglés)"
In The Only Mind Worth Having, Fiona Gardner takes Thomas Merton’s belief that the child mind is “the only mind worth having” and explores it in the context of Jesus’ challenging, paradoxical, and enigmatic command to become like small children. She demonstrates how Merton’s belief and Jesus’ command can be understood as part of contemporary spirituality and spiritual practice. To follow Christ’s command requires a great leap of the imagination. Gardner examines what it might mean to make this leap when one is an adult without it becoming sentimental and mawkish, or regressive and pathological. Using both psychological and spiritual insights, and drawing on the experiences of Thomas Merton and others, Gardner suggests that in some mysterious and paradoxical way recovering a sense of childhood spirituality is the path towards spiritual maturity. The move from childhood spirituality to adulthood and on to a spiritual maturity through the child mind is a move from innocence to experience to organised innocence, or from dependence to independence to a state of being in-dependence with God.Table of ContentsForeword by Rowan WilliamsAcknowledgments1 Introduction to Jesus’ Command, to Thomas Merton, and to Ideas about the Spirit of the ChildPART ONE: UNDERSTANDING2 Infancy and Rebirth3 Thinking about God as Parent and God as Child4 The Influence of Monastics, Saints, and Theologians on Thomas Merton’s Thinking on the Child Mind5 Child’s Mind is Buddha’s Mind6 The Shadow and the Disguise: The Adult Life of CarePART TWO: RE-FINDING7 The Enchanted World, the Tendency towards Dis-enchantment, and the Possibility of Re-enchantment8 The Secret Life of the Wounded Child9 Finding Spiritual and Psychological Healing10 An Invitation to Look and Find ParadisePART THREE: BECOMING11 Dancing in the Water of Life12 Poetry: The Language of the Child Mind13 The Divine Play of God: Play and Creativity14 The Internal Landscape of the Child Mind and Models of Spiritual Maturity15 Epiphanies of the Child MindAfterwordBibiliographyIndex
