The Role of Mystery in Spirituality
Genuine spiritual experiences often lead individuals to recognize the vastness of mystery rather than feeling confined by certainty. Father Richard Rohr emphasizes that the Enlightenment era's push for certainty has created an illusion of control, which can lead to hubris in contemporary society. This false sense of assurance undermines a natural humility that is crucial for spiritual growth. Embracing uncertainty allows individuals to engage more deeply with the spiritual journey, where growth and change are intrinsic to the human experience.
