Contents index: [see also "Censors Reports" file, Series 36, "New Seeds of Contemplation" / carbon transferred from "Hart Working Files"] censors negative comments about Merton's interpretation of René Descartes - censor compares Merton's ideas on Christian contemplation to Hindu contemplation, but Merton thinks the censor's own notion of contemplation more closely compares to a negative stereotype of Hindu mysticism.
