I am excited to share my interview with Jory Pryor on the Methods podcast. Methods is a free podcast designed to showcase the myriad ways in which we can engage with our ego, develop inner peace, and connect with the divine.
I walk listeners through the Centering Prayer practice and then Jory and I enjoy a conversation.
Centering Prayer with Rich Lewis -Today our method is led by Rich Lewis, a leader for RCMR (Recovering Christianity’s Mystical Roots) and a contemplative workshop leader and writer. In this method we get into the theory and practice of Centering Prayer, the type of contemplative prayer popularized mainly by Father Thomas Keating.
Being-With: Rich Lewis – In our conversation we get into the nuts and bolts of Centering Prayer, the type of contemplative prayer popularized mainly by Father Thomas Keating.

in Augustine Day by Day p.146 St Augustine says the Lord is within and you will hear him and he will reply. Also enter into yourself,and leave behind all noise and confusion in your consciousness in silence. I assume noise and confusion are thoughts St Augustine maybe referring to.
I agree with your assessment.
