Beginnings of Conversion

The Roman Catholic Lectionary today brings texts for the feast of the conversion of Saint Paul. Paul’s story includes education at the hands of Gamaliel, who also was the teacher of Nicodemous and Stephen. This education may have been a foundation for Paul’s development of the “third eye” referred to by Rohr as the quality of the non-dual seer. Certainly the texts which have come from the influence of Paul have been rich in the development of the Life of the indwelling Spirit which is the portal to approach the mystery of Incarnation, Passion, Death and Resurrection in the Christian tradition
