Who Am I? The True Self (Br. Paul Quenon)

Br. Paul Quenon, OCSO, is a monk and poet who entered the Abbey of Gethsemani in 1958. He was mentored by Thomas Merton during his two years as a novice. Short talk followed by panel discussion with Pravrajika Vrajaprana, Gerardo Abboud and moderator Jonathan Bastian.

“Contemplation is not and cannot be a function of this external self. There is an irreducible opposition between the deep transcendent self that awakens only in contemplation, and the superficial, external self which we commonly identify with the first person singular.” - Thomas Merton
