This paper explores Christian contemplative meditation, focusing on the prayer of Recollection as it is developed especially by Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941) and St. Teresa of Avila (1550-1582). It outlines the practice and explores possible theoretical and therapeutic dynamics, including some comparative reflections of this form of Christian meditation with Buddhist Samatha Vipassanā (calming insight) meditation and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. It also draws on the transpersonal theory of philosopher Michael Washburn, in exploring resistances, obstacles, and goals of such mystical practices.

Caring science and virtual reality both constitute a new form of human knowledge and human experience. Both have the potential to define the culture that results from their use. This paper explores the latest developments in caring science against some of the metaphysical aspects of virtual caring communities. Transpersonal theory and virtual concepts that transcend time, space, and physicality will be identified. The ontology of cyberspace will be uncovered against a backdrop of caring-science knowledge and practices. New territory for creating and entering virtual global caring communities will be considered as one path toward nursing and the public’s future in health care.
