The Triple Way : Purgation, Illumination, Union
Summary
Perhaps the most important truth that the sages of the Western world have consistently expounded is that the journey of the soul on earth is a progression. The seeker yearns for an ever expanding awareness of the presence of God. Teilhard de Chardin writes in the Divine Milieu: “God . . . waits for us every instant in our action and in the work of each moment. He is in some way at the end of my pen, my pick, my paintbrush, my needle – of my heart and my thought.”
Reflecting on mysticism as it has been expressed throughout history, George Peck, a philosopher, teacher, and Quaker, illustrates how that history is echoed in Quaker practices.
