<p>Our question: When or how have I come back from &quot;death?&quot;</p><p><br></p><p>We talk about the power of imagination as a necessary part of change.</p><p><br></p><p>We recall what Fr. Richard Rohr said about Paul&#39;s use of the word &quot;flesh&quot; and &quot;spirit.&quot;</p><p><br></p><p>&quot;Paul made a most unfortunate choice of the word sarx, translated “flesh,” as the very enemy of pneuma, Spirit (for example, Galatians 5:16-24). Now we would probably translate sarx as “ego” or “small self,” which would be much closer to Paul’s actual meaning. </p><p><br></p><p>Remember that Christianity is the religion that believes “the Word became flesh” (John 1:13), and Jesus even returned to the “flesh” after the Resurrection (Luke 24:40)—so flesh cannot be bad. If our spirituality is in any way anti-body.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/022226.cfm" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><br></a></p><p><strong>Join the community:</strong> Facebook group: ⁠<a href="https://www.facebook.com/laughingmystics/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/laughingmystics/⁠⁠</a></p><p><strong>Daily Poetry:</strong> Visit <a href="https://www.insideoutspirituality.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠Marci’s Blog⁠⁠</a> and subscribe to <a href="https://psychescinema.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠Laura’s Substack⁠⁠</a> for your daily dose of verse.</p><p><strong>Share the mic:</strong> Send a voice memo to ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠</p><p><strong>Rate/review easily:</strong> ⁠<a href="https://ratethispodcast.com/thelaughingmystics" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠RateThisPodcast.com/thelaughingmystics⁠⁠</a></p><p><strong>Follow + listen:</strong> ⁠<a href="https://pod.link/1799776273" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠https://pod.link/1799776273⁠⁠</a></p><p><em>New episodes drop Thursday mornings.</em></p><p><strong>More from Marci Madary:</strong> ⁠<a href="https://www.insideoutspirituality.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠https://www.insideoutspirituality.com/⁠⁠</a></p><p><strong>More from Laura Lewis-Barr:</strong> ⁠<a href="https://psychescinema.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠https://psychescinema.com/⁠⁠</a></p><p><strong>Merch:</strong> ⁠<a href="https://www.zazzle.com/store/laughing_mystics/products" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/laughing_mystics/products⁠⁠</a></p><p>(If your platform hides links, visit the episode webpage or Spotify.) </p><p><em>Music licensed from Artlist.</em></p><p><br></p><p>#jungianpsychology #depthpsychology #richardrohr #progressivechristianity #jungianwisdom #mysticalchristianity #religioustext #transpersonalpsychology #ThomasMerton #Lazarus</p><p>#TrueSelfFalseSelf #ContemplativeSpirituality #Enneagram</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
