HOLY RELATIONSHIPS: Waking up from the dream illusion of separateness with Mark Anthony Lord

Mark Anthony Lord is not your typical ordained minister. He was also a professional dancer and choreographer for 17 years, knew he was a gay man from 4 years old, and a spiritual teacher of A Course In Miracles.

Mark says, "Today, my life is all about spirituality. I’ve been a very progressive, non-religious minister for twenty years, I founded a spiritual center in Chicago that grew from 3 people to over 1000, written two books with more on the way, and I love spiritual counseling, because the premise that it stands upon is that you are whole and complete within yourself – now and always. Knowing that makes it easy to look at any mountain of fear and remember that love will always win, because love is what you and I are."

In this episode:

  • Fear based vs. Love based spirituality
  • Waking up from the dream illusion of separation
  • Shame of growing up as a gay man
  • Forgiveness as a practice
  • Shame + purity culture
  • "Special" vs. "Holy" relationships
  • And so much more!
