R.S.托马斯的诗歌通过对圣经意象和故事的再现,诗意地阐释了其“自然神秘主义”宗教思想。托马斯把人类的本质需求界定为精神的完善和灵魂的提升,而非物质的享受。他认为,人类本性沦丧、精神瘫痪的根源就在于疏离自然、背弃上帝,走向了拜物的歧途;人类要重塑精神,实现救赎,必得复归自然。他强调,对神性的体验并非一个被动的过程,而是要求体验者主动修习心性,回归内在,培养宁静中等待的心态;也就是说,体验神性的自然之旅要渐渐内化为纯粹的心灵之旅,只有识得本心,才能获得救赎。
R.S. Thomas’s poem explains his “natural mysticism” religious thought poetically by reproducing the images and stories of the Bible. Thomas defines the essential needs of mankind as the perfection of spirit and the ascension of soul, not material enjoyment. In his opinion, the root cause of the collapse of human nature and mental paralysis lies in the alienation of nature and the abandonment of God and the fate of fetishism. If humanity needs to reshape the spirit and achieve redemption, it must be reverted to nature. He emphasized that the experience of the divine nature is not a passive process but requires that the experimenter take the initiative to practice the mind, return to the inner world and cultivate a state of tranquility. In other words, the natural journey to experience the divinity gradually becomes internalized as Pure spiritual journey, only to know the heart, can be redeemed.
