Description
Book Synopsis: 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 Wilbur, 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, Richard illustrates the implications of transformation both for individuals and for society at large.
Details
The True Self/False Self book by Franciscan priest Richard Rohr offers a fresh perspective on spiritual growth and transformation. Rohr argues that many spiritual teachings focus on strengthening the individual ego, rather than challenging and transforming it. He believes that true change requires a deeper exploration of Western individualism and a shift in fundamental assumptions.
Unlike conventional approaches that offer a superficial change through new beliefs or group affiliation, Rohr's book dives into the depths of the self and uncovers the false assumptions that prevent genuine transformation. Drawing on the wisdom of renowned thinkers like Ken Wilbur, Thomas Merton, Eckhart Tolle, and Julian of Norwich, Rohr weaves together a dynamic narrative that integrates spirituality, mysticism, and quantum physics.
Through this thought-provoking journey, Rohr inspires readers to confront their false selves and embrace the power of true transformation. Whether you're seeking personal growth or a societal breakthrough, this book offers a roadmap to discovering your true self and effecting positive change in the world.
