From Anxiety To Love with A Course in Miracles

To truly heal, we have to look, without defense, shame, or guilt, at the layers of the ego that resist being seen. You're invited to join me on a journey of uncovering these hidden operating systems as we explore A Course in Miracles (ACIM) through the lens of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Together, we'll look at how ACIM invites us to expose and heal our biases and step beyond the ego's comfort zone. I'll share a personal story about seeing my own bias and what unfolded when I was called out for using a phrase I didn't realize had racist roots.
We'll explore how the ego's thinking patterns, like individualism, can shape the way we interpret ACIM, and how shame and guilt often arise when we examine race and racism. I'll also offer reflection questions to sit with, including whether our actions come from true guidance or from the comfort of a privilege.
In the spirit of undoing the ego, I hope you'll join me in this honest and healing exploration.

In today's episode, I'm interviewing Lorri Coburn. Lorri struggled with suicidal ideation for decades, and in this podcast, she's going to share her story with us. 
Naturally, this episode comes with a CONTENT WARNING as we'll be discussing details of Lorri's journey with suicidal ideation, her plans for her death, but also her healing and recovery. 
You'll hear in Lorri's journey that she received the clear message that death is not the way out and that our task is to accept our true identity while IN the body. Lorri points out that there are many passages in A Course in Miracles that speak to how death is not the way out. And she shares how our mind goes with us after we die so you have to be willing to change your mind while in the body.
This episode is raw and real and Lorri's story also shows us that although A Course in Miracles teaches that healing can happen in an instant, for many of us, myself included, healing is often experienced as gradual. Lorri's journey of healing depression and suicidal ideation was a process that took place over a number of years. 
If you are struggling with suicidal ideation, there is help available. You can go to your nearest emergency room. If you're in the USA, call 988 for the Suicide and Crisis LIFELINE or go to https://988lifeline.org/ to connect via chat. 
If you're outside of the USA, go to your nearest emergency room or you can find a suicide hotline via  http://suicide.org/international-suicide-hotlines.html (If this link changes, please search the internet for a suicide hotline in your country). 
You are worth the effort it takes to heal.
Lorri Coburn is a psychotherapist, spiritual coach, author and you can find her at http://lorricoburn.com/

A Course in Miracles teaches that we are not our bodies. While this is true, it can be tempting to take this teaching and unintentionally misuse it. We might think that we need to detach ourselves from our bodies and from others, but this only leads to unhealthy denial. Instead, we awaken THROUGH the body when it is repurposed by Spirit.
In A Course in Miracles, there is a quote in the Urtext and CE editions that references the 20th century psychic and astrologer, Jeane Dixon. In the Course, it says, "Actually, Jeane Dixon was right in her emphasis on "Feet on the ground & fingertips in the Heaven"... Many people knew exactly what she meant, so her statement was the right miracle for them."
In light of my recent mystical experiences, which were very much facilitated by having my "feet on the ground," I share five points in this episode about what this Jeane Dixon quote means to me.

In today's episode, I share one of the most meaningful spiritual experiences I've ever had. During the summer of 2021, while in the midst of an intense period of pain, I was introduced to our Divine Mother while sitting in my backyard. 
While I feel that God is Mother AND God is Father, right now, I'm having a total love affair with the feminine side of God, a part that has been out of my awareness for most of my life.
In today's podcast episode, you're going to hear about:
My experience of Jesus introducing me to his/our Mother in my backyard
The synchronous events that led me to find an image of Her in a tree in my backyard
The value of darkness
My pattern of going through a major upheaval every 12 years
How the earth itself has risen in my awareness as a "brother" (a being just like you and me onto which we project all sorts of things)
How our bodies are of the earth and our minds are of God
and more…
