Here the apostate Roman Catholic priest Henri Nouwen (1932-1996) tells us that one of the “discoveries” that comes through the antibiblical practice of Contemplative/Centering Prayer is the delusion that God is living within every human being.

Apprising Ministries shows you from the Bible why this is false in our piece Understanding the New Spirituality—God Indwells Mankind:

Still, when we remain faithful to our discipline [of Contemplative/Centering Prayer], even if it is only ten minutes a day, we gradually come to see — by the candlelight of our prayers — that there is a space within us where God dwells and where we are invited to dwell with God…

One of the discoveries we make in [meditative] prayer is that the closer we come to God, the closer we come to all our brothers and sisters in the human family. God is not a private God. The God who dwells in our inner sanctuary is also the God who dwells in the inner sanctuary of each human being. (Henri Nouwen, Here and Now, 24, 25)
