21 " spirituality "
― Richard Rohr , The Naked Now: Learning to See as the Mystics See
22 " Asking for something from God does not mean talking God into it; it means an awakening of the gift within ourselves. "
23 " We are saying here, as religion historically did, that you need a whole new “head” (as in Romans 12:2). You need a new motherboard, changing the actual hardware that processes your experiences. It is not merely a change of morals, group affiliation, or belief systems, but a change at the very heart of the way that you receive, hear, and pass on your own experience. This is transformative religion. We need true sanctity if this world is to thrive and Christianity is to be something more than a protector of privilege, fear-based thinking, and the status quo. We need what Paul calls “a new mind,” which is the result of a “spiritual revolution” (Ephesians 4:23). "
