Summary

Richard Rohr, in conversation with Paul Swanson and Brie Stoner, continues the journey through the 7 Themes of the Alternative Orthodoxy. The seventh theme of the Alternative Orthodoxy leads us to union: Non-duality is the highest level of consciousness. Divine union, not private perfection, is the goal of all healthy religion This final theme holds the center of spiritual desire; Divine union. Join us as we share models of those who exemplify non-duality in their life, the nagging habits of pursuing private perfection, the four splits that those in the first half of life need to overcome, and how prophetic action can flow from non-duality.
