thank you 💐

A gift that I am still opening. Life unwraps little be little keeping me fixated.

Thank you for your podcast. It is so helpful. And Jim is a beautiful soul and a beautiful teacher. ❤

Thank you both for this wonderful presentation. I feel like I’ve come home and have understood my experiences at a deeper level by linking spirituality and psychology. Much appreciated!

Yes, my wife came to a point of peace and acceptance in her last year; that I learned from, I did not understand it. A thinly veiled chasm.

The human person has a soul that will not end in this life, whereas art portrays eternal things that we long for... sacred art is really important.

Deepest thanks for continuing to share and name 'axial moments' when we glimpse what we are always receiving. Wow!

Thank you for your teaching Jim. I've heard many of your talks but today I was deeply touched.

This is so rich. James gives us beautiful paths to grow in Love and wholeness. My prayer for today is that many more people find this path that leads us to grace. ❤️🙏🏼

I've learnt a lot from James Finley but the story he tells about the alcoholic ritual troubles me: I find it hard to accept that such a cold, aggressive, humiliating and frightening male behaviour (all those men, head down, sitting silently around the vulnerable one and shouting 'Bullshit!) is a loving gesture. It feels more like a ritual with a belief somewhere in punitive, no pain no gain tactics, a ritual born from those still somehow unresolved with their own pain and shame. That's just how it strikes me. I'd be grateful for any insights.

Two of Jim's books, Merton's Palace of Nowhere and The Awakening Call are both outstanding. His CD set on Meister Eckhart is also very informative as well. Jim is a Modern Treasure!

I found her fifty years ago and have walked with her ever since. She is one of God's special gifts to me, to the church and to the world.

Thank you for hosting Jim Finley. He is my revered spiritual teacher. Your interactions with him brought new wisdoms to bear. 🙏

This podcast is a Fairly new discovery for me, Im aware of James Finley's work at least via podcasts. I feel this conversation to my very marrow, my path has been long and winding and over the last decade through various experiences I've been led back to a path of christian Mysticism.. This podcast hit so deeply I'll probably have to listen to it a few times.. Just to really absorb it. Almost like good oolong tea, the flavor improves after the second or even third use. So thank you both of you. Kelly I've enjoyed alot of your podcasts keep up the excellent work ❤

This video is very informative but I have only one criticism. I cut ties with the Christian God, church, Bible, etc, 20 years ago and never looked back because it made me a miserable wreck. I now identify as a Pagan because I have no need for any God who treats me like garbage, makes me feel like garbage. I don't have to feel "guilty" about just being human, and I don't.

Thanks James and Kelly. Even though it’s hard to explain, it’s worth trying. And you both are good at making the mystical life more clear. As James said at 33:29, we cannot make an aha or axial moment happen. I think that desiring those moments is fine, but trying hard to be a mystic is probably counterproductive. Love God more than His gifts. And assume the stance of being in love. Peace.

I thought Father Richard Rohr had a beautiful soul. Then I began listening to The Way of the Pilgrim Podcast given by this man and became doubly blessed. Thank you for putting this amazing talk. The world needs this now more than ever before. I just subscribed to your channel and unsubscribed to all the political talk channels. God bless you❤❤❤

Thank you so much for this interview. The interviewer was truly excellent, and I appreciated all the wisdom that was shared here. 🧡✨

How does this not have hundreds of thousands of views?! Pretty sure it just changed my life. There needs to be more of this out there, the world is dying for it

9:45 maybe work on that part?

Licensed therapist here who's getting additional training in IFS and wanted to watch this but I admit I checked out after the " white men" statement. Maybe I could get passed it for the overall process , but I'm choosing not to and lost trust in it and honestly found every hmm hmm after from her to annoy me knowing she said that. can't support that. I know another channel thats just as IFS helpful and more inclusive.

I've learnt so much through CAC Richard James Cynthia Thomas keating and Merton and all the other's I've been introduced to through them. I'd given up on faith and now I know and believe. Thank you ❤❤❤

Very beautiful and inspiring... Thank you for your courage to be vulnerable even though it was uncomfortable... So lovely and sacred !

I am mystic by birth I get the information about life and death. I feel upset to know the reality and I wish I was not one.

Very interesting

Sometimes I think he's too depressing for me to absorb easily, but with this particular talk I think there is good reason to hope for deep love and forgiveness in the face of unrelenting doubt and fear. I also really liked the ease and honest sincerity between the two of you. It speaks to your own goodness 'cause this is the first time I've ever watched you. Thank you for all your work for and with love.

Every human being has the potential to be able to see the truth. It is available to every human being. Grace is available to everyone all we have to do is to plug into it by purifying our heart and mind and by keeping our mind focused on God.

Thank you, this a really good video

Great conversation! And for what it's worth, just about all technology and infrastructure that saves us energy and shields us from the shadow sides of Mother Nature are created and reinforced by boomer white men 😉 I love them like I love my parts!

this is beautiful. thank you

The part of your reflecting, about 50 year people: old white men in a disparaging way, activated a part of me that wanted to hide not say anything. so this shame-based fear part of me that wants to hide is courageously stepping out of my shell to offer another perspective🙂. As I work in the corporate world as an executive coach, it’s been my experience that it’s been men and women who are trapped and triggered in their unresolved parts. Just offering another perspective 😊. Thanks for listening.

With this demonstration it seems there were so many parts going on which led to story telling. Although it appears she found a lot of understanding. I'm not sure she was able to help the shadow part release and let go of the past so it could move on to be a more helpful part. Just my opinion.

Beautiful conversation, eternally grateful for sharing your insight into the unseen dimension of existence. 😇

I appreciate this. I am dealing with panic disorder

Thank you so much this so resonated with me blessings ❤🙏

Lovely demo! Very courageous of you both, thanks for sharing with the world! Another demo (Emily as practitioner, me as client) -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/in2TZJKaZ5lqmJo

Ally you and Dr. Andrew Huberman continually daily weekly continue to save my life. You don’t know how grateful I am. Days are better. There are some days that are bad bad. And I reach for you. My gratitude from the sweetest part of me. You are a Mystic That’s for sure. Thank you for holding the light…. And I’d like to thank myself for finding it. 👈🏼

Breath in me Breathe of God your presence in my depths of my soul breathing soul into the world☘️🕊️

Love the depth of his sharing and sincerity ☘️🕊️

Thank you both. As you both share,I feel a spark of what is being said.. Thank you for sharing.

Thank u for your life and your sharing it with us

It is seriously life changing. I've been going to therapy for years on and off. I started IFS around 6 months ago and it has helped more than any other program or therapy I have tried. This is an excellent video to explain and actually show people how it works.

I want to discover.myself

How beautiful! Thank you so much!!

I have listened and read enough now, to know that James Finley is constantly mentioning his being rooted in Catholicism, even if he moreso uses the word Christianity. So that I don't understand what is meant by his mother's religious imagery and being disassociated in some Psychological way. It is true that no one has to listen to these programs if they are only going to be frustrated, but maybe he should have declined to tell Kelly he could answer such a question in one minute or less!!! She asked him if he had time to answer one more question. He presented something that he says he did not even discover until he was taking University Psychology courses!!!!!

From 49:45-57 the transcript has incorrect words and left some out. It sounds as if he is saying that he borrowed his mother's religious imagery. It is not understandable what he means by disassociating? Does he mean he thought he was not really accepting Catholicism in the way that his devout mother was? And what does he mean by disassociating? You can't explain such a complex problem stemming from childhood trauma in three confusing sentences?

I heard Mr Finley on a Turning to the Mystics Podcast say that if God stopped loving everyone in existence, then we would all simply vanish! I don't know who introduced the thought first, but years ago in the 1980s I remember watching a show by Carl Sagan (was an Atheist), called "Cosmos" and in a particular episode he was of course introducing everything from an Atheistic viewpoint, basing everything on human achievement, and first he spoke of all humans as "We", saying, "we are a single organism" and then he said, "If we all stop thinking all at the very same moment, we will all cease to exist." After he died his wife said that he said that he did not want to believe in God, he wanted to know. Evidently God did not share anything with him!

I have always felt a connection between IFS and shadow work!
