Oneing: Unveiled

Established in 2013, ONEING is the biannual journal of the Center for Action and Contemplation. Renowned for its diverse and deep exploration of mysticism and culture, ONEING is grounded in Richard Rohr’s teachings and wisdom lineage. Each issue features a themed collection of thoughtfully curated essays and critical perspectives from spiritual teachers, activists, modern mystics, and prophets of all religions. 

In his introduction to this issue of Oneing, Richard Rohr writes, “Unveiling is a gift for those who are ready to see more fully. Unveiling is a disaster for those who do not want you to see.” The Greek word apocalypsis means to "unveil something and thus to reveal its true form and colors.” Some of the ways in which we are experiencing an apocalyptic time are symbolized by the universal pandemic, seeing democracy seriously questioned around the world, many politicians being incapable of rational planning or thought, and organized Christianity either being widely abandoned or regressing into its most fundamentalist forms.

There is no way around this hard message. A time of great unveiling is happening now, and it is indeed an apocalypse for those who know how
to see and listen.

This issue features contributions from Richard Rohr, Avideh Shashaani, John Dear, Jacqui Lewis, Timothy Shriver, Belvie Rooks, Naomi Shihab Nye, Douglas E. Christie, Mirabai Starr, Drew E. Jackson, Paul Swanson, and Lee Staman.
