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.
