Ever wondered how to hold opposing thoughts without losing your balance? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer welcomes Richard Rohr, a Franciscan priest and renowned ecumenical teacher, to explore the concept of non-dualistic thinking. Rohr, who founded the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, brings a wealth of wisdom from his extensive work in Christian mysticism and the Perennial Tradition.

He shares insights on how practices of contemplation and self-emptying can lead to radical compassion, especially for those on the margins of society. Rohr's teachings challenge us to move beyond binary thinking and embrace the tension of opposites. He explains that the story of the tree from the Garden of Eden serves as a caution against assuming we know what is perfectly good or evil. Instead, Rohr advocates for 'trans-rational' thinking, which goes beyond mere logic and reason.

This episode is a deep dive into how faith and prayer can transform both individuals and communities. If you're curious about how to feed your 'good wolf' and navigate life's complexities with grace, this conversation offers practical wisdom and profound reflections. Tune in to learn how embracing non-duality can pave the way for personal growth and societal change.
