The Path of Paradox | Jake Haber

Tune in to our conversation about paradoxes, navigating complex emotions, the difference between orthodox & paradox, and experiencing a spirituality beyond certainty. 

Quotes: 

Roger Penrose:

"If something seems to be a paradox, it has something deeper, something worth exploring."

Kahlil Gibran:

"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding"

Carl Jung: 

“Only the paradox comes anywhere near to comprehending the fullness of life.” 

Peter Rollins: 

“We must question the difference between the heresy of orthodoxy, in which we dogmatically claim to have the truth, and orthodox heresy, in which we humbly admit that we are in the dark but still endeavor to live in the way of Christ as best we can.”

Brene Brown: 

“The mark of a wild heart is living out the paradox of love in our lives. It's the ability to be tough and tender, excited and scared, brave and afraid -- all in the same moment. It's showing up in our vulnerability and our courage, being both fierce and kind.”
