The Naked Now

The Naked Now

Richard Rohr

For Christians seeking a way of thinking outside of strict dualities, this guide explores methods for letting go of division and living in the present. Drawn from the Gospels, Jesus, Paul, and the great Christian contemplatives, this examination reveals how many of the hidden truths of Christianity have been misunderstood or lost and how to read them with the eyes of the mystics rather than interpreting them through rational thought. Filled with sayings, stories, quotations, and appeals to the heart, specific methods for identifying dualistic thinking are presented with simple practices for stripping away ego and the fear of dwelling in the present.

Through the stories, meditations and tested practices in this book, Richard Rohr will help you to:

• Awaken your desire for God
• Free yourself from the fears that can cripple you.
• Connect to the joy already with you
• Transform yourself and inspire others
• See as the mystics see
• Love in full awareness of the Naked Now
