Fantasy can take us into excitements, delights, and satisfactions, as someone said. The problem is that fantasy is not real. Plus it is an unreality with no depth. Now, contemplative prayer, deep meditation, is not easy and we don’t really control the process, as we might with fantasy. Fantasy, you control the story. We sometimes enter into fantasy because we don’t control the reality of our life. The deep meditation is done not for control, but for a way to enter into the depth of reality. Any one period of meditation is no guarantee of any depth, but persistence, and patience are important for an overall experience of our true center.
