laid bare to God

James Finley writes beautifully about meditation: “Meditation is a way of slowing down so as to descend into the depths of yourself in the present moment, where God lies waiting to grant you a deep experience of your eternal oneness with God. … Let each session of meditation become the hearth at which you and God sit together, sharing inexpressible things. Discov­er for yourself how true it is that meditation grants entrance to more interior, meditative states of awareness. Learn to live in this awareness in which you are laid bare to God, who is eternally laid bare to you in the sheer immediacy of what simply is as it simply is.”
