Seven Deadly Attitudes

John Cassian, a monk of the 4th and 5th centuries wrote about the important place thoughts have in spirituality. Cassian suggested that thoughts can lead to desires and desires can lead to passions, such as anger, dejection and pride. Cassian recommended that thoughts be vigilantly watched so that they do not lead to desires and passions. Sometimes it is difficult to watch one’s thoughts. An alternate method of becoming aware of the ways our mind can get us in trouble is to become aware of our attitudes. Mary Mrozowski, a founding member of Contemplative Outreach, Ltd., spoke of Seven Deadly Attitudes: attraction, aversion, comparison, expectations, anticipation, competition and judgment. Observing these seven attitudes in ourselves is an excellent way to become aware that we are upset before we act out of our passions. These attitudes are also guides to the virtues we need to cultivate to avoid the seven deadly sins. Contemplative prayer practices can help the Spirit guide us in developing the necessary virtues.
