In Thomas Merton’s taped conference on "The Life That Unifies", he speaks of the different facets of the word ‘unity’: the unity of persons in a community, the unity within oneself - the unification and simplification of one’s personal being and the unification of all of one’s heart and strivings in the love of God. To all of these, he added the Sufi theme of final integration, which he learned from the psychologist, Reza Arasteh.
