Vedouc\u00ed rekolekc\u00ed a autorka Lerita Coleman Brownov\u00e1 upozor\u0148uje na d\u00edlo mystika a aktivisty Howarda Thurmana (1899-1981). P\u00ed\u0161e:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thurman ve sv\u00fdch spisech rozli\u0161uje mezi mystikou a soci\u00e1ln\u00ed zm\u011bnou, ale v\u011b\u0159il, \u017ee oboj\u00ed je nezbytn\u00e9. Ve vzpom\u00ednce, kterou napsal uzn\u00e1van\u00fd odborn\u00edk na kvakerskou mystiku Douglas Steere, chv\u00e1l\u00ed Thurmana \u010dten\u00e1\u0159i za jeho „z\u00e1jem o cesty dovnit\u0159, kter\u00e9 se ve sv\u00e9m st\u0159edu setk\u00e1vaj\u00ed s n\u011b\u010d\u00edm, co je op\u011bt obrac\u00ed ven“. [1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Steere dod\u00e1v\u00e1, \u017ee Thurman musel nosit v srdci tento aforismus Mistra Eckharta: „V dobr\u00fdch skutc\u00edch m\u016f\u017ee\u0161 vynalo\u017eit jen to, co sis vydobyl v kontemplaci.“ [2] Pot\u0159ebujeme pravideln\u011b tr\u00e1vit \u010das v tichu s Bohem, abychom m\u011bli s\u00edlu, odvahu a vitalitu pot\u0159ebnou pro spole\u010denskou \u010dinnost: pro postup proti nespravedlnosti, pro mluven\u00ed pravdy k moci a pro pomoc v humanit\u00e1rn\u00edm \u00fasil\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thurman v\u011b\u0159il, \u017ee Je\u017e\u00ed\u0161 byl mystik. „Mystick\u00e9 v\u011bdom\u00ed bylo sou\u010d\u00e1st\u00ed Je\u017e\u00ed\u0161ova \u017eivota,“ p\u00ed\u0161e. „Prohlubovalo jeho smysl pro sebe sama a jeho d\u016fv\u011brn\u00fd vztah k Bohu. Cel\u00e1 Je\u017e\u00ed\u0161ova identita z\u00e1visela na jeho mystick\u00fdch zku\u0161enostech.
