Fr. Rohr enlightens that those who "authentically follow" Jesus overcome the gap of paradoxes, and Rohr emphasizes that " . . . he said 'follow me' and did not
say 'worship me' . . .” He was an example, and we are to do.
"The
dualistic ('us' versus 'them') mind gives us sanity and safety . . . but to
address our religious and social problems in any creative or finally helpful
way, we . . . need something more, something bigger, and something much better.
We need 'the mind of Christ' (1
Corinthians 2:16), or a non-dual seeing of every moment . . ."

"It might not be worth a hill of beans," I've said so often when sharing advice, but what is a hill of beans worth? Apparently, worthless to some folks. Yet, such a fortune of sustenance could be priceless to others. It's a matter of perspective, and I hope most humbly that you might enjoy a few of my perspectives and those of our children.
