@SophiaCycles @RichardRohrOFM: "I am afraid that the closer you get to the Light, the more of your shadow you see. Thus truly holy people are *always* humble people."

Oftentimes have I heard you speak of one who commits a wrong as though he were not one of you, but a stranger unto you and an intruder upon your world.

     But I say that even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which his in each one of you,

     So the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.

Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @CACRadicalGrace @RichardRohrOFM "What we are able to see and are predisposed to see in the outer world is a reflection of our own inner world and state of consciousness at that time. We project ourselves onto outer things and these very things also reflect back to us our own unfolding identity." @RichardRohrOFMQuoted by@CACRadicalGrace @RichardRohrOFM "What we are able to see and are predisposed to see in the outer world is a reflection of our own inner world and state of consciousness at that time.
