Contemporary Dedication to Awareness as Compared to the Legacy of St. Ignatius’ Examen
Svetelj, Tone (Gdańskie Seminarium Duchowne, 2021)
The rising interest in awareness is a modern phenomenon which can be interpreted as an attempt to reconstruct, what seems to be an extremely important but still missing aspect in our lives in a secular society. True awareness is a rare quality which goes beyond simple self-awareness and growth in attentiveness. True awareness allows us to become aware of our own strengths and weaknesses, become less judgmental, more proactive, emotionally more mature and open to a metareality: love, compassion, creativity, personal evolution. This modern interest in awareness in many ways overlaps with the Ignatian examen as a way of finding God and God’s blessings in our daily life. The focus of the examen is much more than awareness of past events; it is the moment of deep connection with God in the present moment.
