"We are indeed 'saved' by knowing and surrendering to this universal pattern of reality. Knowing the full pattern allows us to let go of our first order, trust the disorder, and, sometimes even hardest of all-to trust the new reorder. Three big leaps of faith for all of us, and each of a different character." -from the introduction A universal pattern can be found in all societies and in fact in all of creation. We see it in the seasons of the year;...

Men are lured away to dominate through money, sex, power, consumerism-and never really become men. In this...

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...

"At the heart of this offering is an invitation to be still. Such stillness, however, is not a barren field, devoid of substance. It is a silence replete with beauty.
