| Summary: | In taking the lead from White’s (2020) article that asked Christian psychology to reconsider therapy as a spiritual discipline, this paper asks if we can also consider whether thinking is a spiritual discipline. The proposals for this consideration are based on a review of current discussions about human thought and, in particular, the philosophical question of "What is the mind and consciousness?" This review will provide the basis of two propositions that suggest a renewed consideration of a "holistic dualism" that can deepen our appreciation of the need to not just reflect on therapy as a spiritual discipline, but also our thinking per se. Thus, this paper suggests that White's proposal deserves even further consideration, beyond what was outlined in the original article. |
