Love After Love

Richard Rohr, in conversation with Paul Swanson and Brie Stoner, discusses the final layer of the Cosmic Egg, The Story. Richard describes “the story” as the great patterns that are always true. We pull on the threads of love that are active when engaged in “the story”, play with metaphors that examine a new way of seeing the Cosmic Egg, the relationship between chaos and order, and the Universal Christ as the key to holding Cosmic Egg together.

My Story of The Cosmic Egg

We are back for a fifth and final season! Richard Rohr is once again joined by Brie Stoner and Paul Swanson to walk together through the layers of the Cosmic Egg of Meaning and life in the Universal Christ. This season focuses on the Cosmic Egg of Meaning as a framework that positions "my story" within "our story" within "the story". In this episode, Richard teaches the overview of the Cosmic Egg so that we can hold the concept as a whole before diving into its particularities.
