religions, since, he noted,
much has previously been
written about Eastern prac-
tices.
He then discusses how to
structure a retreat situation
for one or more people, sug-
gesting a variety of ac-
tivities — ranging from
various forms of meditation
to prayer, visualization and
movement exercises suited
to each of the five faiths he
writes about — that are in-
tended to redirect attention
inward and away from daily
life's many distractions.
"The self-guided retrea-
tant must learn, often the
hard way, how to organize a
retreat that best suits his or
her physical, psychological,
emotional and spiritual
needs," he said.
Mr. Cooper has arranged
his life to allow him to go on
extended retreats in exotic
locales for up to 40 days, the
same length of time that the
Bible tells us Moses spent in
retreat on Mt. Sinai. But he
recognizes that most people
find it difficult to shed work
and family obligations for
very long.
"The bane of all retreat
work is finding the time," he
said.
Because of that, he
stresses that successful
retreats can also be of short
duration and even under-
taken within the secure
walls of one's own home.
The only requisite — and it
is not inconsequential — is
that the retreat be struc-
C tuned to keep family, phone
calls, doorbells and the rest
of normal routine at bay.
Maintaining silence, keep-
ing things simple and
withdrawing into a kind of
temporary emotional — if
not physical — solitude are
crucial for the retreat to
have its desired inner effect.
"If you can only get an
afternoon for yourself, take
an afternoon," said Mr. Co-
oper. "We don't have to go
anywhere. All that is needed
is the proper environment in
which we can experience the
benefits of silence, simplicity
and solitude. "And we don't
need to go off in search of a
teacher. The teacher is not
out there somewhere, but
within each of us. We just
need to be willing to do the
work."

"I think that silence is an
imperative for inner work,"
Mr. Cooper said. "It's not
that when we are silent that
the chatter of the mind ever
really stops. It's just that the
quality of the chatter
changes, and we can begin to
see how things fit
together." ❑
