I think I remember a thread Jim closed last night based on comments like the one you posted.
Have you read: Thomas Kempis "imitation of Christ", "St. Benedict’s Rule of Life", Thomas Merton, Benedictine spirituality, panentheist and interspiritualist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and Benedictine nun Joan Chittister?
If not you are missing out, and you are doing exactly what I said.
