The amazement of breath and other thoughts from the week

“The very first word you say is God, and the very last you will say is God. And you keep saying God all the time, you are doing it right now”

This week at school as been a series of lectures with the ‘headliner’ being Richard Rohr . Wow is what he has to say amazing. I attended his Tuesday night lecture and his sermon/message today in chapel.

Tidbits from Tuesday night (and yes I was a dork and took notes)
-Those who can not understand the first bible (creation) will never understand the second bible
-Ego hates change
-Dualistic thinking is good except for the ‘big things’ love, death, suffering, God and Eternity
-When a tragedy strikes people who think dualistically are not equipped to understand it.
-There are so many access points to the divine
-Jesus came before conscious was ready for him
-DNA is divine
-We are programmed in such a way that nothing else gets in unless it fits with our programmed views
-Loving is giving up control
-If the Ego says “no” the should says “yes”
-

Then he gave an amazing message today about the entomology of the Hebrew word for God. And how when it is pronounced correctly (and its not often pronounced in Hebrew) its like a breath. I can not wait until it is posted on facebook for me to watch again, and share with you.
