Exploring the concept of being in the world, Freeman emphasizes the importance of continuous prayer as a state of childlike simplicity, rather than a constant recitation of prayers. He draws on John Cassian's teachings to illustrate how meditation and the repetition of mantras can facilitate this inner silence and communion with God. Additionally, he highlights the contemporary contemplative movement within the church, influenced by figures like Merton and Fr. John Main, who have shaped modern Christian meditation practices.
