Suicidal Ideation, Depression and A Course in Miracles with Lorri Coburn
A new student of A Course in Miracles once asked me, if our bodies aren’t real, would A Course in Miracles advocate suicide? The answer is NO. Suicide and death are NOT how we awaken from the dream.
As you’ll hear in today’s podcast, our task is to accept our true identity while in the body.
In today’s episode, I interview Lorri Coburn. Lorri is a psychotherapist, spiritual coach and author. Lorri struggled with suicidal ideation for decades and she’s going to share her story with us.
Naturally,...

Exploring the SOUL with Jon Mundy
As I’ve been “living on the edge” of A Course in Miracles, I’ve been brought to explore areas of the Course that are not fully explained. One such area is the SOUL.
When Jon Mundy reached out to invite me on his podcast, “Sunday with Mundy,” we got to chatting about the soul. He got excited and I got excited and we thought this would be a perfect topic to discuss live.
In this episode of “Sunday with Mundy” I share an overview of the three phases of my journey and then we dive into the topic of ...

Episode 35: Feet on the ground and fingertips in Heaven
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 ...

Episode 34: How I Met Our Divine Mother
My heart is beating with so much love. Today’s episode is about 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.
It turns out that I seem to go through a big period of unsettling every 12 years. In 1997, panic attacks led me to pick up A Course in Miracles. In 2009, I stopped running from the anxiety and started to heal it WITH Spirit. And...

Episode 33: The Black Madonna with Rev. Celeste Frazier
I’m thrilled to welcome Reverend Celeste Frazier to today’s podcast episode. Reverend Celeste is an author, speaker and counselor, and she will be introducing us to the Black Madonna, our Divine Mother.
Last summer when I was going through a tough time, I had an experience of the Black Madonna while sitting in my backyard (that story is to come in Episode 34). I immediately became hungry to learn more about the Black Madonna, and it was divine timing that Rev. Celeste was offering a class all ab...

Episode 32: Falling apart may be the way through
Typically we try to hold it together. But sometimes we have to let it all fall apart for something new to emerge. During my tumultuous year of 2021, I came to terms with strong guidance that I was being asked to let A Course in Miracles go. Being that the Course is my spiritual foundation and I’ve been studying it my entire adult life, letting go was scary as hell. But one thing I’ve learned in my 25+ years of being a Course student is trust. So I let go.
While I fell into a temporary crisis, th...

Episode 31: The Thinning of the Veil – Land as a Portal to the Past
In this episode, I share my first unexplainable experience, which began sometime in 2019. At that time, I started getting a very distinct sense of a vast energy moving “behind the scenes.” I experienced weeks of a magnetic pull to rest, sometimes outside on the ground, though I wasn’t tired in a usual sense. It’s almost as if there was so much shifting, my body needed time to adjust.
During the summer of 2020, I began having additional experiences that I couldn’t explain. I was drawn to a state ...
Episode 30: A New Beginning
Change and transformation can be a bumpy yet amazing ride.
I’ve recently been overloaded with new learning, new language, new experiences, new divine relationships, and a new way of being. While it has taken time for these new lessons to settle into my body and my mind (and I’d say I’m still in that process), I have been looking forward to the day when I’d be ready to share more with you. That day has finally come!
In this podcast episode, I’m giving you an overview of what has transpired over t...

Ego trap alert: Doing ACIM “right” means my life will be perfect!
When I was in the thick of debilitating anxiety, I’d tearfully wail, “I’m failing A Course in Miracles!”
My loving family would remind me, “You’re not failing A Course in Miracles, you’re DOING A Course in Miracles.”
It can be very tempting to think that if everything is running smoothly that we must be nailing our Course lessons. But this can be a big ego trap. When we are tempted to judge our own spiritual progress, I’m always reminded of this quote:
“…you cannot distinguish between advance an...

Open-mindedness as a portal to experiencing psychic phenomena
As I continue to try to find words for the new experiences that have been occurring in my life, I felt moved to share another snippet from A Course in Miracles Study Group gathering. We were reading the section in the Manual for Teachers called, “Are “Psychic” Powers Desirable?” (ACIM, M-25).
In the past, if something didn’t fit my understanding of A Course in Miracles, I’d dismiss it. For instance, I wasn’t open to considering the existence of guides other than Jesus or the Holy Spirit, and I w...
