Bourgeault opens new ground with The Cloud of Unknowing by proposing that its anonymous author, in using the word "contemplation," is actually describing the transition to unitive or non-dual consciousness. This includes a brief exploration of what this actively entails, how this new perspective helps to clear up some of those notoriously difficult passages in The Cloud, and why centering prayer is so essential in the process. Cosponsored by Contemplative Outreach of Boston and the School of Theology and Ministry Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault is an Episcopal priest, teacher, author, and retreat and conference leader. In this section Rev. Bourgeault looks more closely at the connections between centering prayer and the practices prescribed in The Cloud of Unknowing. She focuses on the central effort: working to move beyond thought to have diffused awareness. She also introduces how this can be practiced in daily life.
