God is never any object to be found or possessed as we find other objects, but the One who shares your own deepest subjectivity - or your ‘self’. We normally called it our soul. Religion called it ‘the Divine Indwelling.’
Richard Rohr, Immortal Diamond
Anything down right “good,” anything that shakes you with its “trueness,” and anything that sucks you into its beauty does not just educate you; it transforms you.
Richard Rohr - Immortal Diamond
Tilicho Lake by David Whyte
In this high place
it is as simple as this,
Leave everything you know behind.
Step toward the cold surface,
say the old prayer of rough love
and open both arms.
Those who come with empty hands
will stare into the lake astonished,
there, in the cold light
reflecting pure snow,
the true shape of your own face.
The Risen Christ is, as Teilhard de Chardin tried to describe it, the divine lure, a blinking, brilliant light set as the Omega point of time and history that keeps reminding us that love, not death, is the eternal thing.
Richard Rohr - Immortal Diamond
We are not the isolated, conscious minds often assumed in our folk psychology. Rather, we are fundamentally embodied. Any spirituality that ignores how the body influences what we think and do will not be usefully transformative.
