Summary
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.

So rich. Much pause for thought.
I’ve found this book so easy to hear, yet tears your guts out. Going back to ‘meh’ ness isn’t an option. A challenge.

excellent and thought provoking
To be aware of our false self is so vital if we are to truly function in the way God intends us to. The more aware we become of this false self the more we will come to realise our true self and the potential we have to truly be what we are before God and others

Brilliant, life changing & important!
It's rare to find a speaker that has things to say that you have literally never heard before. This is a fantastic talk and I highly recommend it to everyone who is seeking to more authentic in their own lives.
To those of us of a Christian tradition outside of Catholicism (like myself) - please don't let that deter you from listening to a priest! I come from an Evangelical background, and I am humbled to say that this is some of the best teaching that I have ever heard.
This is by no means a talk just for believers! (Although there are some Christian themes): This is a talk which is open enough not to alienate those of different faiths or none. This talk is very much about the human condition, how we operate and how we can live more authentically. I cannot recommend this more highly!
