The authentic belief of orthodox Christianity, although most of us were never taught this word, is pan-entheism, to use the Greek word: god in all things, god revealed through all things, the divine dna is inserted inside of all of reality.
Feeling disconnected from your spiritual self? This episode of 'The One You Feed' might just be the remedy. Host Eric Zimmer welcomes Father Richard Rohr, a renowned Franciscan priest and founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation. Father Rohr is celebrated globally for his teachings on Christian mysticism and the Perennial Tradition. Here, he dives into the themes of his book, 'The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For, and Believe'.
Father Rohr shares his unique perspective on the concept of 'Christ', explaining how it goes beyond the historical Jesus to encompass a universal presence in all things. He talks about the idea of pan-entheism, where God is seen as present in every part of creation. If you've ever felt that spirituality is out of reach, his words might offer a new way to connect with the divine. But it’s not all lofty theology.
Father Rohr also addresses practical issues like the ego and shame, which often block us from experiencing deeper spiritual truths. He advocates for embracing solidarity over striving for personal perfection, suggesting that true contentment comes from recognizing the divine in everyday moments. This episode offers a blend of profound insights and down-to-earth advice, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in spirituality and personal growth.
Whether you're deeply religious or just curious about new ways to find meaning, Father Rohr's teachings provide plenty of food for thought.
