Thank you for articulating this so well. I wish I could help people in my life understand this…

You “love” Martin Luther??!!

How beautiful

Thank you for this reminder to contemplate with the mind of Christ. The timing in my life is craving this again. I was thoughtful and contemplative in prayer daily. But I am busy now. Too busy again. I long for those days of contemplative peace and prayer.

Hi, I teach Soul Sisters at Johns Creek UMC in Johns Creek, GA. We are studying Richard Rohrs' wonderful book called Breathing Under Water, Spirituality and the 12 Steps, in this book, Richard explains step 11 is: "Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understand God, praying only for knowledge of Gods' Will for us and the power to carry that out. I was raised Baptist, and had no teaching on meditation or contemplation--although as an adult art teacher, I contemplate when I paint by myself. Wow, I love that I have been doing "contemplative prayer" all my life, I just didn't know what it is called. What awesome stress relief to go into the right side of our brains, and visit with God who is within.

Thank you, you have re assured me I am the right path. Lord may I continue to remember my prayer. Lord there are no words, just the beating of my heart, the breath in my body and your spirit in my soul 🙏

Where is God in this? The answer is He is not. Void of the Spirit. Absolute madness is all it is. Remember this, Jesus is coming back very soon. Don’t fall for this deception.

John 4:8 "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." John 4:16 "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them."

When we look at nature we are looking into the mind of God

Your model/templete is very close to the idea of the Sun. Which is one with it's rays... but different!

Thank you for this clear explanation. I often feel strained reading or listening to the psalms, especially those that ask God to destroy the enemies. Centering prayer has given me a space where I feel very much in oneness with truth and the divine.

Only thing I think he may have said poorly or wrong was that it's their loss at 8:18 - 8:22. I see young men and women in the dating world say this often, if they get rejected it's the other persons loss. Well, no. It's everyone that loses. When two people don't make a connection and get to know one another and the nuances of how they connect both parties lose and sometimes their networks of friends and family lose. When someone doesn't develop that relationship with God, God loses another loved one. If he truly loves them that will break his heart and if we love God knowing his heart is breaking will break our hearts. Every person that that person doesn't pray for, every blessing that the world doesn't receive that was stored for them to simply ask for is lost. There is a silence and a sadness in knowing all that is lost when someone turns away from God or rejects his word. But, as we all probably know, God is not invasive and gives us choice. In the same way, you can't force or pressure them to get to know God. Rather, you invite them and delight in their coming to Christ and share that delight with them and everyone around, or you let your heart break a little and go to that quiet place within yourself and see if you can comfort God and be comforted by God. My opinion here is subject to being wrong.

Power back in prayer. Tell-A-Vision. The keys. When the Bible was being edited by the Pharisee and Sanhedrin, (who later took the titles Pope and the council of Cardinals) They deliberately broke the Lord's prayer when they instituted the translation in the Latin. They did, infact, turn our Father Creator into a fetch-/-vending machine. Thereby, leaving every part of it up to him. Hallow your own name, do your own will, restore your kingdom yourself. (Think about it.) What of this includes you? None of it includes you. Other than you being a sit on the couch recipient of his deeds, of course. Originally, Jesus had said it in the Greek. And here it is. Our Father who art in heaven. Thy name must be being Hallowed. (That means, you Hallow it.) They Will must be being done on earth as it is in heaven. (Guess who's on earth? You are. It's up to you to do his Will here.) Thy kingdom must be being restored. (Yeah, that's you again. And for the individual, it doesn't mean unto the whole world, it is generational. Lovingly, slowly, repetitively, patiently tell your children. Ten years, that's how long it takes to put it in their hearts. Remember, do not turn it into a weapon. Your neck, the mill stone and the sea.) Give us today, our tomorrow's bread. (The wisdom of Jesus, as though we stood beside him in the present tense.) Forgive us our failings as we forgive those who have hurt us. (Now, what I am writing here will make a lot more sense once you have read, keys to the Kingdom. If you have truly reconciled them unto your heart and forgiven them to the full measure, is this not the first time that this has come out of your mouth in all it's intended honesty? I'm betting it is.) Lead us away from evil, delivering us from its temptation as these are not that which you intended. (This may differ as I could not find the translation for accuracy.) Bottom line here is that you are a required part of the power pack. He goes before us and prepares the way. Is Simply this. You want or need a better position and pay. So, you pray unto the Father and he, because the Father is a mind, he is mentality, (the kybalion will explain this perfectly.) He reaches forth in thought, whispering to the hearts and minds of those who will assist you, to give you that which you have asked for. (In belief. Ask, believe and receive.)This requires you to do your part, go to work. Recognize that the Father wants a personal relationship with you, and he desires that you want one with him. That means, you have your part in this. Do your part. Now, remembering that our Father is a mind, he, when communicating with the prophets did this in visions. So, when you pray to the Father remember, the words are for you to build a vision with. In essence, Tell-A-Vision to the Father. Let him see it in your mind. Be clear, get precise, aim for accuracy. Now, in order for prayer to work, the the Father said, if you have anything against your brother go make peace, really. And you know as well as anyone, in this day and anger age, it's often unwise to do so, in person, that is. Follow the instructions below. The Keys to the Kingdom When one understands reconciliation to its fullest meaning, one understands forgiveness. Without reconciliation, forgiveness cannot stand. Reconciliation kills, on impact, all negative emotion. All of it, from your first breath, unto your last. The only emotion that reconciliation cannot defend itself against, is that of love. Love is energy, your soul is energy. So, if the adage, you are what you eat, is true, then the only thing feeding your soul is love and your soul will mature properly and become love in of itself, as we have been commanded, to become like our Father. Who, in of himself, is love. Vengeance is mine, said the Lord, because when you give him vengeance, he turns it into correction and saves his other child, if they will let him. Imagine how you are going to feel towards your enemy in heaven. If you can really imagine the truest form of that feeling, congratulations, those feelings have just transcended time and space. In essence, you asked, asked to see, that's prayer, you believed what you saw, you received it, you felt it. Again, congratulations, you just asked, believed and received. The Father creator loved us, reconciled us unto himself and forgave us. The steps matter. Unless reconciliation is first, forgiveness falls flat on it's face and dies. Forsake the parade. Go unto the Father yourself and take the walk of life with your hand in his. And consider this, with our Father, I truly believe it's, come as you are and I will change you as I need you. Start your commitment to him with these words if they suit you. Finish the statements. Here I am. I am willing. What is the truth? And you had better be sincere or it's going to fail. (Anger. Let us deal with this for a moment. If you are angry about something that happened three weeks ago, it's because, you have a muscle in your stomach, you know the one, that is a chemical junkie. This muscle was present when that particular memory was created and stored. And it calls out that chemical signature, and forces you to re-live that moment, so it can feed, you have not been angry in a long time, you been duped. And now that you know, what are you going to do, fake angry? As soon as you begin to feel angry about anything from the past, stop it. Just take a look around you, and know nothing happened to you today, unless it actually did. And if it did, that's the only thing you can be truly angry about.) (Do not invite the back stabber to your table, here. What they did matters, they, given the opportunity, will do it again. You have a date in heaven, see them there. Old people bring old habits.) (Live in reconciliation. Do not leave that state of being.) (Live in believe, of ask, believe and receive. This would have been better stated as, ask believe and be given. Recieving means to be given, therefore, it's not up to you to move beyond, believe. That's the Father's right and it also allows for recognition of his works and compassion. Also, Throw away the timer.) (Regarding Faith. Faith is simply loyalty. Loyalty to the fact that you asked, loyalty to the fact that you believed. Stay loyal, stay faithful. Or one might choose to see Faith from the vantage point of, staying true.) (As for the judgement room that we have all heard of, well, it may surprise you to learn that that room is in your head, and it's running constantly. We all have a piece of the Christ Consciousness in our minds. All of us. This is how silent prayer is heard. And anytime you do anything good or bad, your heart has an intention and emotional reaction. That intention and emotional reaction is what's being judged. And your judgement is handed down second to last breath. Because up until then you can change your mind about your intention to our Father. You can come to understand this better if you read the letters on the internet from nurses who have been presant for the death of those patients they have been charged to take care of. Worst death bed passings, you'll find them. And you will find good one's as well. This is why your sincerity in your commitment to the Father and to honesty with him are so very important.) (Do not end your prayers with, Amen. To you, this has always meant the prayer has ended. And in that, your right. It's over. End your prayers with, So Be It. This way the energy moves into the future. And it's the translation of, Amen, but in words that, as you understand, have a whole different meaning.) (Do not judge lest you be judged with the same measure. Meaning, when we judge we will be put in the same situation, doing the same thing that we were judging others for. Break all judgements through sincere intention. After all, people and situations change. So, let it be to you as this, "They are still alive." No further, for the Father has got this.) (Anxiety/Stagnation is common place with our Father. He gives us time for what he is teaching us to take it's place in our lives and become a living part of who we are before adding more of his wisdom to our mindset. If it were not so with man, what we learned would become buried under the new knowledge and become worthless.)

She’s amazing!!!!

Be who God created you to be. So tired of being called demonic.

Jesus said to the hypocritical self righteous religious people, you strain out a gnat and swallow a camel.

YES😊

I dont unerstand, if jesus is the onlh way and truth, why do other religions have the same experiences and dreams and visions and healings (like reiki healing) like jesus?, and yess you can say its demons but they can say that of christians to right?

I have been searching for contemplative prayer all day. I finally realize why I am so bad at maybe more traditional prayer or why I'm uncomfortable praying outloud and why I have searched to find where it's ok to ask for things because while I understand it is still good to do this I felt afraid of my own motivations. I have found it easier to just spend time with God as my form of prayer but thought I was doing something wrong because I am often not praying or asking. when I was told it was about a relationship before i became Catholic sometime last year I took that literally and so it is so comforting to find someone speaking about this as I have been drawn to st john lf the cross and st ignatius of loyola for their teachings and while I came to the church in anger about the political state of the western world I have found since even before baptism to be left with peace that God is my higher power and the things happening on earth are no longer leaving me feeling trapped. Thank you for this video it describes so much of my Catholic life and now I finally realize I am not doing anything wrong when I struggle to pray for things in my life even though it is also something I am working towards and trying to reconcile in my prayer life.

Este hombre es franciscano, verdad?

And Leo's challenge to the validity of Anglican Orders. Pity

Heretic!

Similarly he fornicated to show that he was not bound by the verse Flee fornication.

Scripture is no more helpful than a hundred Hail Mary’s without a foundation of connection with the source of the breath that keeps you going.

That's a beautiful experience and she's so funny too

True Christianity focuses on the Truth that "God became man so that man could become God." Humility, nonjudgement, moderation, service, fraternity, and nonconfrontation are the original teachings of the Christ. All else is corruption.

This bloke is everything that’s wrong with church “pastors” (a made up title for people without any qualifications), who want to be the king of the kids. Then they get confused and think they ARE one of the kids. Which means they can have sex with the kids. What a joke.

Pray in secret. Do not be like the hypocrites who love everybody to see what they are doing.

I have questions for Mr.Rohr himself not someone taught by him.

Seems to me that love and grief are first cousins. On those rare moments when i can, and do, see God’s tender beauty in something, I’m filled with a kind of heartbreaking love that chokes me up.

Prayer need not require hominid speech within mind or through the mouth. Just see sunshine and soil and hear wind on n on. Stop talking. Words are irrelevant much of the time. Peace ✌️

Sie ist vom Demon besessen

So so so good ❤

The best way to explain ever. thank you

Some great thoughts here. Thank you

The most beautiful testimony I've ever heard. ❤❤❤

absolutely spot on today!!! His Spirit is in full flow for me today !! THANKS

To live in the present moment 🕊️ this practice sounds like the writings of the servant of God Louisa Piccarreta

3:36 - America’s anger today (as he is putting it) is a result of centuries of Greek dualistic thinking and philosophy. It’s influenced the Western church more than just about anyone cares to admit. Today’s church has lost most of its Hebrew roots (which isn’t dualistic, it’s wholistic).

Praying in tongues? Having this dialogue with them? Yeah you’re a false prophet.

I have to stop watching political television. Even EWTN television and live radio is often how he describes it-I’m right, you’re wrong. Our whole political discourse is wholly unhealthy, full of hatred, vindictive. No wonder we are where we are. I gotta find those voices who focus on unity, with God and each other. Is it possible? Gotta make the attempt. For the love of God, we have to try.

Contemplation is being deeply aware of God presence in everything we do . Whether washing dishes or washing a child , be thankful you’re alive to do it . Breathe in the spirit of the Divine Embrace , the Invisible, the Immortal God

"diversity" - this guy repulses me.

what’s the bible say about women with short hair again and a woman wearing men’s type clothing?

The best thing that ever happened to me as a Christian was being a Buddhist and learning about meditation... It is what Christians were always missing.

"Fast Food Religion" is such a great description of the diluted, dull, guilt-ridden version of Catholicism I was raised in. This could not hold up to the view of my developing intellect and I fell away as a youth into a convenient agnosticism. But I sadly threw away the baby with the bathwater. I so much wish I had come across Thomas Keating or Anthony de Mello back then. I and so many of today's youth were done a disservice by The Church and if The Church is to remain relevant and perhaps undergo a renaissance, contemplative prayer will play an essential part.

This man is so deceived by Satan

i once saw an interview with a young man imprisoned for participating in the carjacking and murder of a pregnant wife and mother. The daughter of the victim asked the perpetrator if her mother, dead now for several years, had said anything before they killed her. The young man said she begged to be allowed to go home, but his accomplice, who actually pulled the trigger said no. The young man being interviewed said the woman got down on her knees and said, "I forgive you, and God will too." It brings me to tears every time i think of it. But that woman clearly understood this teaching.

the opposite of faith is certitude...now that will keep my mind busy for the rest of the day!

Many white Christians exhibit a reluctance to confront the historical atrocities committed against minorities and non-white individuals by their predecessors. This aversion often stems from a complex interplay of factors, including a desire to avoid feelings of guilt, shame, or discomfort; a perceived threat to their own identity or sense of belonging; and a lack of awareness or education about the full extent of the suffering inflicted. The consequences of this silence are profound, perpetuating a cycle of ignorance, denial, and perpetuating racial disparities. It hinders reconciliation, healing, and the creation of a more just and equitable society. By refusing to acknowledge and grapple with the past, white Christians inadvertently condone and normalize the systemic oppression that continues to plague marginalized communities. Embracing a spirit of humility, empathy, and a willingness to listen to the voices of those who have been wronged is essential for breaking down the barriers of silence and fostering a more inclusive and compassionate society.
