In terms of soul work, we dare not get rid of the pain before we have learned what it has to teach us.

The message of falling - failure, death, crucifixion, whatever you want to say - is not really that. Some sort of falling is really found in all the world's religions, just in different languages.
Richard Rohr

Pain and suffering that are not transformed are usually projected onto others.
Richard Rohr

Creation is a process that is still happening and we’re in on it! We are a part of this endless creativity of God.
Richard Rohr
Image
A paradox is a seeming contradiction, always demanding a change on the side of the observer. If we look at almost all things honestly we see everything has a character of paradox to it. Everything, including ourselves.
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
The movement toward gratitude, authenticity, and union is the natural and organic inner work of the second half of our lives.

If you don't transform your suffering, you'll transmit it.
