 Bernadette Roberts Interview
Bernadette Roberts is the author of two extraordinary books on the Christian contemplative journey, The Experience of No-Self (Shambhala, 1982) and The Path to No-Self (Shambala, 1985).
A cloistered nun for nine years, Roberts reports that she returned to the world after experiencing the "unitive state", the state of oneness with God, in order to share what she had learned and to take on the problems and experience of others.
As a result, I never got to meet Bernadette Roberts face to face - but her answers to my questions, which are as carefully crafted and as deeply considered as her books, are a remarkable testament to the power of contemplation.

 Mysticism and the Study of Esotericism
Roberts was born into an unusual situation in that her father was a devout religious man with an immense knowledge of Roman Catholicism and a large library.
Roberts had little faith in the doctrine of vicarious atonement, and she went through various crises of belief in which she found it necessary to take stock of what she could believe and what she could not accept within received Catholic doctrines.
She thought Roberts too young to be undergoing this experience, which is a central aspect of aging, but Roberts rejoins that the contemplative life represents a “speeding up” of natural processes.

 Emptiness: No Self -- Nature of Spirit
Bernadette Roberts' The Experience of No-Self is a remarkable and valuable book.
Just what Bernadette Roberts' experience of Christian mysticism was like is not a large part of this book, but it is striking that her no-self experiences began very young and it is possible they colored her practice of the Christian contemplative life.
This seems to be what is happening when Bernadette Roberts says, "and when I finally saw 'that' which remains when there is no self, I thought of Christ and how he too had seen 'that' which remained - a seeing which is the resurrection itself." (p.

 TAT Forum
Living in the unitive state for 30 years in the "marketplace," she came finally to the experience of "no-self," and her accounts of the infused understanding of Christian truths that followed are stunning.
In Bernadette, now 74, we have a living woman, writing and speaking in the American idiom, who exemplifies in flesh and blood, not New Age sentiment, what actually lies beyond self.
In each 2-hour session, Bernadette would start out by handing out a sheet on the topic for discussion and then spend the rest of the time reading off the sheet without commentary, and people would interject with questions which she'd then respond to.

I once asked B Roberts a question via snail mail and the answer she gave me was brief and right on target.

s a self-described contemplative (Roberts writes her book, in fact, as a kind of contemplative handbook) she finds the descriptions of the contemplative state in the standard literature to be incomplete.
In this state, one apprehends God as residing in the centre of being, even during those periods of spiritual sterility, usually called "the Dark Night of the Spirit." Roberts contends, from her own experience, that there are two more stages after this unitive state.
he final stage in Roberts' journey began when she finally came to terms "with the nothingness and emptiness of existence which, for me, seemed to be the equivalent of living out my life without God - or any such substitute.

She offers a dash of exoticism and innovation-a Neanderthal settlement is discovered on the site of an unwanted housing development, prompting gorgeous young archeologist Callie Dunbrook to race to Woodsboro to take charge of what promises to be the dig of her career.
After dollops of detail about archeological work, Roberts dishes up huge servings of comfort food, and it is all the more satisfying for being so straightforward.
As in other delectable entertainments by Roberts, it is not the wild denouement but the pursuit itself-studded with scrumptious romantic encounters-that is the real dessert.

If the speaker is not living from the heart, but the mind instead, then you need not take them seriously, since they don't have the direct experience of what Bernadette is talking about.

In 1987 I went on a three day retreat with Bernadette Roberts (an ex-Carmelite nun, who claims to be in a state of "no self").
During the retreat, I felt thoroughly refreshed by Bernadette's wisdom, simplicity and humor.
And as the retreat was nearing its end, an old friend of mine (another Da Free John "divorcée," as U.G. calls us) gave a book to Bernadette called "The Mystique of Enlightenment." It was by U.G. Krishnamurti.

Although sorry have a very hard time imagine a Irish Catholic mother would be just fine that her son is involved with a former stripper or should I say exotic dancer.
It seems to me that this book was very similar to The Stars of Mithra, but with different characters and a statue instead of gems.
Nora Roberts has drawn again on her love of Ireland to depict this novel of intrigue, romance and humour.

 Welcome to Post Modern Zen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In this past year (2001-2002) I read three books by Bernadette Roberts: Path to No-Self, What is Self and The Experience of No-self.
I take Bernadette Roberts’ experience of no self as the core experience of Zen but in the context of postmodern society.
Nevertheless, if there is any aspect of this journey I would stress or emphasize, it is the necessity of finally coming to terms with the void and nothingness of existence which, for me, seemed to be the equivalent of living out my life without God or any such substitute.
