GREETINGS
Our Butterfly Series meeting on 6 May explored the difficult subject of non-dual consciousness.
After the topic was introduced, the group shared personal experiences of being influenced by binary thinking, particularly in education and workplace settings. The discussion touched on the concept of non-dual consciousness as a way to open up and support dialogue with those who hold different views.
The importance of listening and understanding different perspectives was emphasised. Participants were encouraged to engage their "observer faculty" to reflect on their own behaviour and adjust, particularly with regard to their “shadow”. Various assessment tools for personal growth were mentioned, along with the warning against type-casting the person assessed.
The discussion was wide-ranging and included sexuality, consciousness, and the future of the Church. The group discussed the importance of listening and synodality in the Church. One speaker observed that while Church leadership talks about synodality, the groundswell for change is coming from the grassroots level. Many expressed the desire to move beyond dualistic thinking and find unity rather than uniformity.

Father Richard Rohr uses the metaphor of a “cosmic egg” to explain how stories offer us meaningful connections to ourselves, one another, and the divine. He explains four different types of stories and how these influence our worldview.
