I live in Brazil and have recently discovered this talk and those by Father Thomas Keating. What a discovery! What a transformation! Is is almost unbelievable! Contemplative Vision as here expressed gives me all the words I needed to express the negative consequences of dualistic thinking. I am more than grateful!!!!!
As a Catholic.. cradle Catholic-now independent Catholic… the Holy Spirit is speaking through Fr Rohr. Amen! We’re ‘saved’ not because I’m good but because my Loving Devine Source (God) Is Good! Now the cradle Catholic can stop feeling ‘guilty’ for being Loved by God!
I have been seeking this truth for as long as I can remember.. I will be forever grateful for this New Year's eve revelation. If only we could all accept this truth in 2022. The world is SOO hungry for this truth. Thank you, Richard, for your insight.
Thank you sooooo much. I came across this podcast when I needed the most. I had just said - I surrender to the Lord. Then Fr Richard mentioned "God is available as the air". That was muy answer from God!!!
In the intention of faithful surrender, the mission of each disciple comes, along with the grace to carry it out. This is no willful innovation. This is the core of the tradition as millions of us, including Pope Francis, understand it. Amen.
I am humbled, perplexed and grateful that Richard is patiently walking us through who the Trinity is and how accessible this personal relationship is through prayer and contemplation . The Father , Son, and Holy Spirit in communion with us is so much easier to see in my heart, mind , soul and body. This truth has truly liberated me!! I am so blessed and grateful to Fr. Richard…….this truth is a game changer
We are all truly blessed to hear deeper insight of the divine revelation ,coming to all who long to find it, freely given over the airways, Richard's gifted teaching comes with gentleness, hope & loving kindness. A universal message from the infinite way.
This talk, this teaching, sharing of insight is so thick with ideas and truths that i have made notes to myself to catch some of the knowledge lest i am distracted and need to remind myself. It reaches me, pulls at my knowledge and my set ideas and creates a start of truth learning. No one can teach someone who knows it all. The cap needs to be wrung in my hands with the need to learn what has not been accepted before. Thank you for deeming me worthy of teaching. Marie
How I love you, Richard+, and wish you well. It is so rich to be with you when you're Animated, excited and overflowing with the power and light of great Mystery. Wishing you joy, peace and all good in this season of Christmastide 2021as your earthly eloquence subsides and leaves the light and warmth of the Love Whose center is everywhere, Whose circumference is indeterminate, and Whose spokesman, student and servant you have been for so long.
It is 2023 which finds Father Richard in his 80th year. He mentions in this presentation that he is 64 so this was taped 16 years ago. God bless him and I hope he is well.
If we all would just do , (live our lives out of our being) instead of doing all the stuff we do in order to try and be something that we already are. So , be Holy and I am Holy. So be reconciled!
Im so happy to listen to this, i been seeking for a way to start my prayer life but i caught up with fears and afraid to see my imperfection. Thank God i stumbled upon this channel and this talk 😊😊😊
“Because, you see, the alarming fact is that any realization of depth carries a terrible burden: Those who are allowed to see are simultaneously saddled with the obligation to communicate that vision in no uncertain terms: that is the bargain. You were allowed to see the truth under the agreement that you would communicate IT to others (that is the ultimate meaning of the bodhisattva vow). And therefore, if you have seen, you simply must speak out. Speak out with compassion, or speak out with angry wisdom, or speak out with skillful means, but speak out you must.” - Ken Wilber, One Taste (p. 35)
everything is with some lens of how much has changes, ' breath' is amazing, but humbling to hear how ' little Mexicans' seems a bit.. sorry to say. I am snowed in, and so grateful for this accompaniment while getting to be quiet for a few days. Thanks and gracias
"What good is it to me that Mary gave birth to the son of God fourteen hundred years ago, and I do not also give birth to the Son of God in my time and in my culture? We are all meant to be mothers of God. God is always needing to be born." - Meister Eckhart
POWERFUL AMEN. HENCE THE WORDS WE USE MY CREATOR HOW POWERFUL ARE SUCH. AS SUCH THAT THE EMTIRE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED BY THE WORD. AND SO IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE I AM. YHWH. YAHWEH
Richard has the mystics gift of including the paradox .the desert fathers mystics said you can not separate yourself from sin by moving there what ever sin you have will come with you.
Love this. Great talk. Fr. Richard is very clear and simple in the way he presents things. But I do have one wish: When he "knocks down" an idea or concept that is not "good Theology" or a correct perspective on something, he is not always very good at giving the CORRECT or better way to look at it or express it. One is left with a hole where a cherished idea was without always getting the replacement. Case in point: Sacred Space. "There is no 'sacred space'". What does one do with that? And, it seems to me, that can go too far and become an anti matter, neo platonic sort of Iconoclasm where we destroy sacred images, don't have churches, etc. Very complex issues cannot always just be tackled with quick sayings. He did this more in the dialogue with Fr. Keating.
Father Richard, your videos have enlightened me in helping me understand the Enneagram and its application. All of it has transformed my life! I do have one thought for you. You emphasize in your videos that we want so much to have earned our redemption. As a Lutheran 5 with a 4 wing, this isn't true for me. I accept my newly invigorated faith as an unearned gift. Are you maybe looking through a Type 1 Lens where everyone has to work hard to earn everything? I think so. As a lazy 5, I never felt that way. -Kim Bowman
Visión contemplativa Visión apofática más que catofática. La vida es Un regalo lo que me pasa es Regalo no es por yo ser bueno o haberlo pedido o ganado No saber, en lugar de saber Con la mente contemplativa no se separa, no se ve binario 26:23 la forma del crucificado es no binaria No se ve separado el lado bueno del malo, vida de muerte, luminoso del obscuro Por eso digo que se está juntando todo las pulsión es que llevan hacia un lado o hacia otro No necesitar separa el campo No eliminar el lado diferente y opuesto No eliminar el lado obscuro 50:22 yavhe pea los hebreos solo deben pronunciar las consonantes Y el sonido es la respiración inhalo exhalo Respirar el aire y acceder a Dios es así de Simple Sucede porque dices u está al alcance
thankyou thankyou yess yess so this ______ darkness **** Your darkness as a flower blooms _ Across the years and days of noon _ Flowers of the nights array eclipse the brightness of the day _ Happy blessings ___________BK
You mentioned falling in love with God. To help cultivate this relationship, sing “Can’t Help Falling in Love (with God/Jesus)”. Original song written by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore, and George David Weiss. Lyrics modified by C. Vaughan in 2023. Wise men say, Your love is with us all. So I can’t help falling in love with you. Shall I love, as you love us? For I can’t help falling in love with you. Like a river flows, surely to the sea, By the grace of God, our love was meant to be. So take my heart. Take my whole life, too. For I can’t help falling in love with you. Like a river flows, surely to the sea, By the grace of God, our love was meant to be. So take my heart. Take my whole life, too. For I can’t help falling in love with you. For I can’t help falling in love with you.
An AllMale'Trinity' is TheBigBlindSpot of 'Exoteric' Christianity, in fact TheBigBlindSpot of ALL three of the Exoteric AbraHamic 'Brothers' YahwehGawdAllah Akbar 🙏
Jesus fills all levels of the hierarchy of being. Iconographic depiction of him being enthroned as the high priest is mirrored in icons of the crucifixion, particularly in the east, which depict a serene Christ on the cross almost as though he sits on a throne. Jesus is both King and Servant, uniting those two and inverting earthly concepts of power by showing that to be great is to be least and to lead is to serve. Icons of Jesus looking like an emperor only don’t make sense when you lose the broader context of the mystery like the west lamentably did. It’s far too flat to presume that we made icons of Christ on a throne and this removed him from the trinity. That’s a very flat and unhelpful way of looking at the symbolism
At 37 min: You don't need to resolve it, you don't need to explain it, you don't need to fix it. Well, if you just sit back (waiting for heaven or something) you will not create the loving society Jesus proposed. Just saying.
The sacred personal name of God is Yehovah. (There is no W sound in Hebrew. ). The bible actually commands to speak this name for all generations. If is NOT scriptural to refrain from saying the name. That is a rabbinical lie that is utterly contrary to scripture. Read Exodus.
I live in Brazil and have recently discovered this talk and those by Father Thomas Keating. What a discovery! What a transformation! Is is almost unbelievable! Contemplative Vision as here expressed gives me all the words I needed to express the negative consequences of dualistic thinking. I am more than grateful!!!!!
As a Black Baptist, I feel the urge to shout as he preaches! Amen! AMEN! What a powerful preacher and man of God!
I sure do love that Friar!
Amen !
@@mikebowman9844
Amen Amen for all of us
Yes
God bless you sir. You’ve saved my faith and everyone I talk to about you. Thank you. God speaks right from you!
I use this for teaching. What a blessing.
As a Catholic.. cradle Catholic-now independent Catholic… the Holy Spirit is speaking through Fr Rohr. Amen! We’re ‘saved’ not because I’m good but because my Loving Devine Source (God) Is Good! Now the cradle Catholic can stop feeling ‘guilty’ for being Loved by God!
Preach this truth from the highest mountain
Brilliance along with such a beautiful humanitarian brings us such a gift, a rare gift. Love all that is given.
Hare Krishna, Richard, thanks for helping me on my journey. Amen 🙏
Imposible to comment enough in how amazing this preaching is. Amen.
I needed to hear all of this today. Thank you, again, Fr. Richard, for pointing me in the right direction so that I can remain a "believer."
I have been seeking this truth for as long as I can remember.. I will be forever grateful for this New Year's eve revelation. If only we could all accept this truth in 2022. The world is SOO hungry for this truth. Thank you, Richard, for your insight.

I’m not Catholic but you have so changed my mindset about that. Thank you!
The search of truth got me here . Thank you .
I am humbled, perplexed and grateful that Richard is patiently walking us through who the Trinity is and how accessible this personal relationship is through prayer and contemplation .

You’ve changed my life through the clarification of scripture.
Incredible lecture, humbling and inspiring 🌹
This talk is so thought provoking and the ending is beautiful!

Earlier today, for my friend's 108 yr. old birthday greeting, I posted "Breath of life, Breath of Heaven." Thank you, Richard.
How I love you, Richard+, and wish you well. It is so rich to be with you when you're Animated, excited and overflowing with the power and light of great Mystery. Wishing you joy, peace and all good in this season of Christmastide 2021as your earthly eloquence subsides and leaves the light and warmth of the Love Whose center is everywhere, Whose circumference is indeterminate, and Whose spokesman, student and servant you have been for so long.
As good as poetry....
Love him more and more over the years, such inspiration.
Love love love RR I’ve listened to you since your messages were passed around on cassette tapes!😊 You truly help to keep me in the game. ❤
For those struggling today and for my beautiful daughter 💕
Thank you Sooo much Fr. Richard.
Thank you for sharing your contemplative outcomes .They enlighten my mind and widen the horizons for me.
Thank you for sharing your contemplative fruits.They enlighten the mind and enrich my being.
Patience with mystery--good, truth and beauty. Wow
It's amazing! The story of the name of God that sounds like inhaling and exhaling brought me to tears ... Thank you💙
❤️🔥🙏
I started crying as soon as he breathed it.
Just hearing these talks of Richard is so easy to do, while leaving so much for me to contemplate and awaken and aspire to.
So happy to know that this talk will be available anytime to remind me to ‘sit’ and ‘listen.’
Fr Richard you are such a great Gift of Grace
It is 2023 which finds Father Richard in his 80th year. He mentions in this presentation that he is 64 so this was taped 16 years ago. God bless him and I hope he is well.
Just beautifull, God's love to you, father Rohr from Austria!
What a beautifull talk about the mystery of the divine dance 💜
3:32 Love cannot be divided up. Gracias Padre
I love Father Rohr speeches-Original Participtation is really a mystery!
Thank you so much! Your teachings have changed my thinking. Yahweh !
Thank you Fr. Richard for your deep spiritual teaching.
Helping us to see and know who we really are in God.
May God Bless you always.
Thank you father Richard. What a gift it is to listen to you especially the end when you speak about the breath of life entwined wit the name of God!
If we all would just do , (live our lives out of our being) instead of doing all the stuff we do in order to try and be something that we already are. So , be Holy and I am Holy. So be reconciled!
I need to here this honest truth over and over to get my my heart and head transformed into Gods intent for me. It’s so good. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️

GOD IS LOVE!
We all need this message to begin 2022..
Amazing

We must in some way know perfection to know were imperfect. But we desire perfection and at our deepest, our core, we are perfect as god is perfect.
Profound!!

Breath is Life Covid surely emphasize s This for Us Thank you for sharing this exercise again
I do agree with this. The old church used to practice contemplation. In the times of St Francis🎉 they used to practice contemplation .
OMG. Brilliant. Thank you.
Hamid Bey said "Trying to separate ourselves from God is like trying to dig a hole in the ocean. It is just impossible."
Thank you Father
Love you ❤️🔥
THANKS!
There you have it. The mystery . . . The center. amen.
I love you !

Whaooo very enlightening
Explaining eternal mysteries into words is always incomplete. At least he acknowledges this, whereas the far-right refuses to.

Amen.

Do not christians walk by Faith in Jesus Christ and his Word anymore? Do christians need sign and wonders to believe in Jesus ?
Breathe
Visión contemplativa
Visión apofática más que catofática. La vida es Un regalo lo que me pasa es Regalo no es por yo ser bueno o haberlo pedido o ganado
No saber, en lugar de saber
Con la mente contemplativa no se separa, no se ve binario
26:23 la forma del crucificado es no binaria
No se ve separado el lado bueno del
malo, vida de muerte, luminoso del obscuro
Por eso digo que se está juntando todo las pulsión es que llevan hacia un lado o hacia otro
No necesitar separa el campo
No eliminar el lado diferente y opuesto
No eliminar el lado obscuro
50:22 yavhe pea los hebreos solo deben pronunciar las consonantes
Y el sonido es la respiración inhalo exhalo
Respirar el aire y acceder a Dios es así de Simple
Sucede porque dices u está al alcance
thankyou thankyou
yess yess
so this ______
darkness ****
Your
darkness
as a flower
blooms _
Across the years
and
days of noon _
Flowers
of the
nights array
eclipse
the brightness

Happy blessings ___________BK
