Richard Rohr O.F.M.
About this listen
Franciscan priest Richard Rohr feels that there is no more challenging spiritual issue than the “problem of the self". Most of contemporary spiritual teaching, he believes, is still trying to inspire and fortify the private self, the autonomous "I". Even much church work is trying to evangelize and sacramentalize what many would call "the false self". Basic transformation is not expected, but merely a new set of beliefs and practices or loyal membership in a new group. This only confirms the disguise of the ego, but does not truly offer a "new creation". Both the individual and society remain largely unchanged.
Rohr suggests that until the false assumptions of Western individualism are clearly faced and experienced by religious believers (and they are the only ones fully prepared to face it), there will be no real breakthroughs for Christianity or any religion.
He makes reference to the work of Ken Wilber, Thomas Merton, Eckhart Tolle, the mystical tradition especially of Julian of Norwich, and the new paradigms offered by quantum physics. In a presentation that embraces the challenge, inspiration, and the genuine hope that is offered by the Gospel of Jesus, Rohr illustrates the implications of transformation both for individuals and for society at large.

Needed live teachings
Ive listened/ read a lot from Rohr. Ive listen to this retreat now 5 times and going for a 6 tine while writing a summary statement of each chapter.. Its been really helpful to listen to when i want to refresh my understanding on Rohr’s teachings. In this recording the author discusses, on a broad level, his thesis on what is false self, what is trues self, how to find it, whats are difference. Every chapter is concluded with a real life scenario out of the past.
However, if you want to go deeper you must really read/listen to one of is many awesome books on the subject. If you want most out of the retreat it helps to be aware of this teachings already. If you like Merton and Keating. You going to love this, for sure.

Good message but not what I expected
I don't know if the book is the same but this is a recording of a conference. Great message but not a audio of a book

Living a better life.
A great lecture series to listen to. Richard Rohr gently challenges you to be who you are, the face of God to others.
