4. Journey to the Inner World: Why Take the Journey?


Listen Later

The Ego is usually reluctant (if not outright defiant) in humbly aligning itself with the Great Reality Within. Commenting on the necessary realignment and why we put it off for so long, Franciscan monk Richard Rohr is fond of saying, “There are only two things powerful enough to change a person: pain and prayer.” Then he adds wryly, “most of us choose pain!” Father Bill takes a pause in interviewing men and women embarked on their Inner Journeys to share why the journey is necessary and how Two Way Prayer and Inner work intersect to make us whole. 

Show Notes:

Brown’s quote:

Midlife is when the universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear: “I’m not screwing around. All of this pretending and performing—these coping mechanisms that you’ve developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate and getting hurt—has to go. Your armor is preventing you from growing into your gifts.

I understand that you needed these protections when you were small. I understand that you believed your armor could help you secure all of the things you needed to feel worthy and lovable, but you’re still searching and you’re more lost than ever.

Time is growing short. There are unexplored adventures ahead of you. You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other people think. You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through your veins. You were made to live and love with your whole heart. It’s time to show up and be seen.
