Sleepwalking (Adv1 YrB) by Amma Susan
Sonambulism involves performing tasks that require a high-state of consciousness but are acted out often repetitively, in a low-state of consciousness; doing things of which we aren’t aware and don’t remember. It’s true on a theological level as well. Sonambulistic faith deflects rather than engages, turns away from what our Lord beckons us to see. Complacency and aversion to noticing injustices that require action of us is exactly the kind of faith that Screwtape would like Wormwood to develop, for those familiar with C.S. Lewis’ book The Screwtape Letters.
