The Third Something
The transfiguration is overflowing with symbolism (which Rohr does a good job of explaining in a few sentences). I have never thought or expected that a similar experience was possible in my life, But Rohr claims it is, and that we should ask for it and expect it. And, when it comes, it will fundamentally change us.
"This experience only needs to happen once, just as it did for Peter, James, and John. That is enough. It will change everything. It is available to all, and I believe, offered to all, at one time or another. You cannot program it, but you can ask for it and should expect it. You will never be able to talk about it, nor do you need to. Your ordinary shining life, different now down in the valley, will be its only and best proof.”
Have you ever had such an experience?
