'In my deepest wound, I saw your blessing' This stays with me How blessed we are to share these words and let them unspeakable penetrate our being; God 🙏🧎♀️🤸♀️🕊
@@williamoarlock8634 I can't imagine not being able to find wisdom in this video. I can imagine not agreeing with all of their beliefs but open hearts and minds can not be 100% wrong unless you are too shut down to perceive. The mind has to be put into the heart to perceive wisdom. It can critique but baseless insults indicate the absence of such a state. Good Luck and Loving prayers for you my friend. You remind me of my much younger self.
Thank you so much it was energising to hear such frank discussions about so many topical subjects. I’m now 82 but I wish I could have heard this when I was 20. Please keep up this holy work.
Thank you from this broken heart. Holy Spirit brought your creative work to me just when I seemed broken whoops! Was broken by the hardest year of my life. Love for you today- blessings!
Wow, this was amazing. I also loved your ad at the end about money management.....making money a force for good. At some point baby boomers are going to recognize that our next steps in life out of our individual homes and into independent living/retirement homes/communities need our collective attention because what exists right now does not work for the residences/stakeholders. Collectively, baby boomers will be in need of moving into retirement homes before we know it. What we have right now is similar to unsustainable investing. If we start getting conscious and want to take action before we have to go into these places, we will be far better off. Let's talk about this.
When your screwed up for not a great childhood , some people can actually change the blueprint….. an awful lot actually in my experience! Out of something bad can come something great . ❤
Thank you for such raw, realistic discussion... it's a lot to digest being Catholic all my life. But, since I bumped into Richard Rohr's meditations as well Thomas Merton's books... I have learned to be more accepting, inclusive of everything that happens to me. & I must add, almost nakedly! God loves you all & thank you!
In regard to Richard being over concerned about time in that he nevers wants to be late: Perhaps it is simply 'a movement of the mind' (a kind of reaction to a stimulus) to avoid totally acknowledging the felt-sense of not wanting to ever be late. (A common phrase is: "Lord, I'll face anything besides this.") Also at that moment we can recognize that there will be a yet to be fully noticed tightening in the bodily felt sense of presence. And there will be a corresponding yet to be fully noticed change in the rhythm or pattern of the breath, a kind of slight holding of the breath when the triggering situation (stimulus) hits our awareness. What does it mean to become comfortable with acknowledging and actually feeling the feeling of this feeling as it arises in certain situations rather than cutting off the experiencing that is trying to unfold or untwist itself. We cut off our present experiencing in favor of and by verbally labeling the arising experience from memory as 'this' or 'that' (some fixed concept from memory)? This can also be seen through the lens that we rarely non-verbally experience our experience as it is in itself. Ordinarily and especially at times of pressure or 'discomfort' we interfere with the unfolding of experience with some label from memory. In this sense we are dealing with a yet to be fully recognized state of mind. Such pockets of conditioning in the psyche when triggered need us to open and relax into whole body awareness and simply allow the flow of breath. The is a kind of gentle pause and is gentle allowing of the felt-sense of what seems to be arising. It is becoming familiar with the bodily felt sense that is arising at the time without simply retreating to the habitual territory of premature conceptualization. To say it another way, when the feeling-sense arises, it simply needs a further degree of open receptivity to allow it to untwist itself at the non-verbal felt sense level rather than remaining as a partially unconsciousness motivator. It is a motivator that when re-stimulated only partially surfaces because the we cant' tolerate it at the felt-sense level and so we quickly retreat to automatic memory that recalls it as this or that. The conditioning or uncleared shock is just below our present level of awareness; a kind of frozen conditioning yet to be cleared by gentle open awareness.This awareness or simple presence may react, yet the awareness is not completely caught up in the reaction and knows enough to relax into the tension/pressure of being 'triggered' and "drop in" to the felt sense of bodily presence and allow the on-going flow of breath. This kind of response can gradually allow the melting of conditioning or the various levels of shock in the psyche or 'electromagnetic field' of memory that contains these no longer needed motivators. Otherwise, these no longer needed conditionings or motivators remain to dictate our behavior as well as influence or color our perceptions and therefore our reactions to our life and the arising of its corresponding circumstances.
(Wonderful video here’s my conservative opinion if you want to read it )The self is not god , in essence. God has energies and that is god and we can participate in those energies but it’ll always be distinct from the essence , to say we are gods is very different from saying you are god. We’re little gods when we follow god , we are NOT I repeat Not the essence of god , we are creature not creator , we are daughters of god.
Essentially we’re gods but we’re not preexistent , thus we are not a person of the trinity . We commune with god, god willing. Like Richard says , you need to have distinction before you can unify.
Psalm 139 1:15:30 Body Shame. It is most acute in pre-adolescence and adolescence when it naturally morphs toward its full expression at age 26. God's love and plan is perfect though it may be judged to be imperfect. We are earthen vessels made with precision.preci
@@williamoarlock8634 Jesus was a homeless beggar who told people to give their stuff away & love their enemy. Is that capitalism? He lived & died under Roman occupation, if that's what you nean by calling anything of his era "colonialism." Sophists (& paid trolls) use words that aren't attached to reality, because their goal is not reality, but to superimpose a prefab opinion onto the dialogue rather than seek an unknown truth together with others. And so you do seem familiar with sophistry, but with some years, and some suffering, a person can grow down, as Richard Rohr puts it, & get free of the grumpy, disdaining, premature-curmudgeonish need to trounce others & win absurd debates.
@@lizafield9002 You blissfully ignore centuries of Christian history because your half-prescribed, half-imaginary fetish Jesus pre-erases any wrong doing.
How refreshing - Thanks Douglas for bringing these beautiful and life-giving souls together and for their generous sharing.
Stunning, in-spiring and transcendent.

Wow. What a discussion of connectedness and forgiveness
Love seeing Mirabai and Richard in a conversation! How fun and meaningful!
Two vacuous sophists.

So Brene Brown led me to Father Richard. TH-cam search took me to some crazy videos talking mad stuff about him. This video is a breath of fresh air.
What a rich, generous hearted, wise, tender sharing. So touched to be witness to this round table sharing. 🧡✨❤️
A windbag priest, a mewling gynocentric, an airhead comedian and a slimy accountant...
The honesty and truth resonated from it!
Wow! I came across this discussion ‘by chance’! Needless to day, it was just what I needed to hear! Thanks to all concerned!
Thanks, Chris! Glad you liked it and found it helpful.
Thank you. It was a wonderful way to spend Holy Saturday!

Thank you for that reassurance, Toomy. I needed that today.
So good, like a hug from above 🦋
Thank you all! I wish Many Mothers was nationwide! Why is it so unheard of in the obstetrics field?!!

Thank you, Teresa! I'm delighted that you enjoyed it.
And when you find god horrible?
Thanks! Could we get a part 2 please Doug?
I wish we could!
Pete is such a beautiful soul

This was so beautiful… loved every minute… Such relevant topics😘
More irrelevant hot air.
Thankyou =) Bless you.

Lovely
I use to live in Santa Fe and Espanola and I hope you help families in that area in the Espanola Valley.
Are you in LA?

Thank you Wayne for your thoughtful comments. I would argue that we are fractal pieces of God.

Christ is consumer, capitalist and colonial not 'universal'.
As presented in too many churches, yes. Try watching the full video before commenting.
