BB: And the fragility of that ego and the self-protection around it, can lead to really dangerous things.William P. Young, an evangelical author, has criticized the tone of Rohr's work. Young states that people who are frustrated with their churches might misread Rohr as advocating a vague spirituality disconnected from the orthodox and scriptural understanding of Christ. According to Young, "The danger of universalism is nothing matters, especially Jesus". He adds, "Some of Rohr's followers can read it that way." Despite his criticisms, Young is a friend of Rohr's, and wrote the foreword to his book The Divine Dance. [18] Published works [ edit ] Author [ edit ] RR: You’re a one. You have such a nice smile.

It should be preached twice a year in every American church because we don’t believe it, we don’t like it, it’s wrong. It’s wrong. And I’ve had people tell me that in the vestibule. In my opinion, that parable is precisely to undo the quid pro quo worldview. And precisely. And that means nothing to God is what Jesus is saying.

In the second half of life we discover that it is no longer sufficient to find meaning in being successful or healthy. We need a deeper source of purpose. According to Jung, “Meaning makes a great many things endurable—perhaps everything. No science will ever replace myth [the communicator of meaning], and a myth cannot be made out of any science. . . . [Myth] is the revelation of a divine life in man. It is not we who invent myth, rather it speaks to us as a Word of God.” [4] Science gives us explanations, and that is a good start, but myth and religion give us meaning which alone satisfies the soul.Taylor, Leon (January 1978).

They’ve rearranged and changed. Your quotes have been a whomp upside the head, just if I want to be honest. Some of my whomps came right from you. RR: I know. What good day did I say that on? That says a lot in one paragraph because, forgive me, but it’s true. It’s really true. If you don’t come to the contemplative, mystical, non-dual mind, Christianity ends up being more a part of the problem. I hate to be so critical of my own religion, but I think the recent years have proven it. The amount of Christians who are racist or misogynistic or greedy. We’re not really transforming people in the modern age. I think we did at one time in culture, but now, it’s an accoutrement for our superiority, our saved-ness, or…
