Rohr's Threshold Flashcards
Day 3 Great quest
All men must go on a great quest. Do I see my life as a noble quest?
Day 18
Many times the good keeps us from our best
Day 17
Hunger for the father grew during the industrial revolution when men started being gone during the day and exhausted at night
Day 29 Don’t give away your gold
At first seemed to contradict Jordan Peterson’s vision of giving away the gold but more likely compliments it.
Talking about our radical experiences freeze them in formation (like talking to a spouse after a retreat). You have to wait until the idea and change has fully developed, usually weeks, to discuss it or you give away your hard earned gold.
Day 27 too early for the journey
There’s a reason many positions - bishops, presidents, cultures - do not allow for a man to be younger than mid thirties to be in charge
He hasn’t loved enough, failed enough, suffered enough. He will tend to use God for ego or career and not realize or accept that.
38 / 39 tough love
We need both unconditional and conditional love
54
The First Permission- giving the permission to exist
58
Don’t get rid of pain too quickly as it still has something to teach you.
59
It is harder for men to believe that God likes them even more than God loves them.
68 God of the poor
The poor man only clings to what will keep him alive. Do we trust God with our survival?
77
God waits for vacuums he can fill. So create a vacuum and refuse to fill it with anything else.
