Oneing: The Cosmic Egg (PDF Download)

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. 

Approximately thirty years ago Father Richard Rohr first encountered what he calls “The Cosmic Egg.” In his introduction, he describes this framework—my story, our story, other stories, and The Story—as “the general shape of all wholeness, mental and emotional health, and good philosophy and theology too.” 

This issue of Oneing features works from Living School staff and alumniEach of these students of the path have spent significant time with Fr. Richard’s teaching on the Cosmic Egg and their varied contributions range from intellectually analytical to emotionally provocative. Readers will discover a universal and inclusive framework for liberation from the stories that confine us. 

This issue features contributions from Richard Rohr, Drew E. Jackson, Paul Swanson, Alison Kirkpatrick, Dan O'Connor, Barbara C. Otero-Lopez, Mark Longhurst, Leslye Colvin, Cindy Kroll, Lisa E. Powell, Peter Levenstrong, Felicia Murrell, Michael Petrow, Brie Stoner, Cynthia Bourgeault, and Lee Staman.
