The Naked Now

This took me a long time to finish. But it's a very interesting book about coming to terms with a less right or wrong version of the world. It's written by a catholic monk, so there is quoting of the bible which was kind of off putting at times. But I enjoyed the journey

My favorite book of all time. Brilliant, beautifully, clearly written and with so much wisdom. Richard Rohr is a gift. Read this to understand what it means to have a nondualistic mind.

I've had this book recommended to me for years, and when I got a gift card for Mother's Day, I finally plunged in and bought it. So glad I did.

The author is a Catholic priest and he's had time to reflect on what religion should bring to us and what it isn't bringing to us. And since religion isn't doing its job, Rohr has decided to help out and share some real secrets we are missing out on.

Shall I share one? I think I shall.

Jesus is telling us these secrets in every word he speaks, but we are too caught up in our dualistic thinking to understand what he is telling us. To get to Jesus, to experience God, we have to let go of our scientific yes-no, black-white thoughts and be in the naked now.

Sounds easy, right? Rohr would beg to differ. It's the hardest thing you will ever do.
I better get busy, then. Off to live in the naked now. Let's see if I can try to put Rohr's secrets to work.
