Who is Thomas Keating? He is a Trappist monk, who was attracted to eastern meditation, and began to teach a form of 'Christian' meditation, known as 'centering prayer' or 'contemplative prayer,' but is no different than the 'new age/'new spirituality' form of 'meditation,' especially because it tells you to find your 'divine self.' If you are searching for something to fill the void in your life, and do not yet have a personal relationship with the One True Living God, through placing your complete trust in what Jesus did when He shed His blood on the cross for your (and my) sin, guilt, and shame, please read a Bible (start in the Gospel Of John) and ask God to reveal the truth to you. You can have real peace and joy, and strength to deal with the hurt and problems that all of experience in life. God bless you.
