1 is Trapped (Rohr reflection below)
Talk about relationship! Naked vulnerability means I'm going to let you influence me; I'm going to allow you to change me.
What's the alternative?
"You can't change me."
"You can't teach me anything."
"I know already."
"I have all the answers."
When you don't give other people power in your life, when you block them, I think you're spiritually dead...Atomized, sequestered consciousness is the seed of unrelated Aristotelian independence bearing its fruit in Western isolation; we become unquestioned masters of our own shrinking kingdoms.
-Richard Rohr, The Divine Dance
