Our culture is suffering gravely and terminally from our illusions of separateness. There is a more than human conversation taking place that we have forgotten to notice in our arrogance and patriarchal fear. As spiritual seekers, our work is to remember unity, administer palliative care to all those suffering harm as the culture of modernity collapses, and midwife a return to the precious oneness that is our true inheritance, what Fr. Rohr calls our True Self.
This blog post from Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditations illustrates with sound and image the way forward.
*********************************
The inner space where God dwells can often be uniquely accessed by the arts. To bring Father Richard’s message of the True Self into a deeper consciousness, we invite you to watch and listen to this music video as a contemplative practice. To practice audio or visio divina (sacred hearing or seeing) is to allow our hearts to be fully receptive to sound and image. The song and video are from Birdtalker, a Nashville-based musical group [1], that was featured at CAC’s CONSPIRE 2017: A Conspiracy for God.
[1] Birdtalker also contributed the theme music for the first two seasons of the CAC podcast Another Name for Every Thing.
