Image
Christ is bigger than the Earth planet. If tomorrow we discover life on another planet, the whole Jesus piece would not make sense anymore. If he did everything for just us on this planet he wouldn't be the savior of the world.
Richard Rohr
Image
If you don't transform your suffering, you'll transmit it.
Richard Rohr
Image
A person who can laugh and go with life does not demand to be in control, which is why the most controlling people may be sarcastic but lack an authentic sense of humor.
Richard Rohr
Image
Religion has in fact outdone culture in dualistic thinking - we've become as violent, as hateful toward our enemies, damning them to hell and whatever else, that the world doesn't look to us for wisdom, because we're trapped in the dualistic mind, instead of the mind of Christ that we were supposed to have.
Richard Rohr
Image
The path of descent is the path of transformation. Darkness, failure, relapse, death, and woundedness are our primary teachers, rather than ideas or doctrines.
Richard Rohr
Image
Being informed is different from being formed, and the first is a common substitute for the second.
Richard Rohr
Image
The great and merciful surprise is that we come to God, not by doing it right, but by doing it wrong.
Richard Rohr
Image
Every viewpoint is a view from a point.
Richard Rohr
Image
Our job as humans is to make admiration of others and adoration of God fully conscious and deliberate.
Richard Rohr
Image
One wonders how far spiritual and political leaders can genuinely lead us without some degree of mystical seeing and action.
Richard Rohr
Image
I believe in mystery and multiplicity. To religious believers this may sound almost pagan. But I don't think so.
Richard Rohr
Image
Jesus is the very concrete truth revealing and standing in for the universal truth.
Richard Rohr
Image
When you haven't found inner meaning, you will always substitute outer performance. It's the only way to fill that void, that sense of significance - that I am significant. So almost the degree of outer performance can, in many cases, mirror the lack of inner alignment.
Richard Rohr
Image
People wanted to me to describe more about what I call the container, and then describe what the second half of life feels like.
Richard Rohr
Image
I am who I am in the eyes of God- nothing more and nothing less.
Richard Rohr
Image
We are usually on bended knee before laws or angrily reacting against them, both immature responses.
Richard Rohr
Image
I think most human beings are dualistic thinkers. It gets them through the day. It gives them a sense of superiority and security - that's what the ego wants.
Richard Rohr
Image
Christianity is seen by more and more people as a negative message: anti gay, anti immigrant, anti abortion (as the only life issue), anti gay marriage, anti the Democratic party.
Richard Rohr
Image
The same powerful Scripture text that brings a loving person to even greater love will be mangled and misused by a fearful or egocentric person. This is surely what Jesus means when he talks about the one who has being given more and those who have not losing what little they have.
Richard Rohr
Image
Egoic consciousness is the one we all normally operate with, until we are told there is something else! Every culture teaches egoic consciousness in different ways. At that level it is all about me, my preferences, my choices, my needs, my desires and me and my group as the central reference point.
