James has changed my life. I first heard him this summer, of 2024. My life mirrors Jim's from age 3 and I am now 73. I've been on my spiritual journey for years. Just at a lull of what to do next, feeling i had more trauma work to do.... I read his book The Healing Path. Now I know what to do and much more. Thank you Jim. I love your teachings and wisdom.

Thank you!

😊

I loved this Sis! Just discovered I could subscribe to you on RUclips . So inspiring and encouraging! Blessings🕊️🥰

Oh how I wish I’d know about your visit to Houston. I am a somewhat new fan and discovered this just now. I hope you will be invited back. I live in Houston and it will be a great pleasure to meet you. Sincerely, Joan Son

Thank you so much

This is so deeply helpful, every time I listen. Thank you for revealing these truths in such a gentle way. With Love❤

One of the deepest interviews I’ve listened to with Dr. James Finley on trauma. What a gift to listen to this as a navigate the scars of trauma in my own life, and seek my own “disappearance into God’s face.” Thank you Dr. Carmen Acevedo Butcher for this deeply penetrating, and intimate interview. 🙏🏽

Makes me think of the words on the Statue of Liberty. Thank you for this calm in my day.

Thank you for your enlightening and kind works and your wishes for me and mine in this new year. May you live the same blessings in your own. Very sincerely, Joan in Texas

Once again a reading from you to strengthen my soul. This grounds my very full day and I thank you.

Thank you! I had been thinking more practical wisdom would be quite welcome on how you made the transition from your earlier life to now, and this is a real gift.

Thank you for your uplifting sharing. May your words return to your heart too...

Wow, that was amazing. I felt like you were my best friend saying exactly what my soul needed to hear. I've always been in spiritual circles and struggled with the urge and seeming instructions to get rid of anxiety and fear. It's been a long journey to simply accept my emotions in the moment. Thank you. I consider you a spiritual teacher to me.

Brilliant. Your words give me words… and focus. Thank you dear one.

Walking by a library bookstore a few years ago I saw the cloud of unknowing and a voice told me to get it. I wasn't big on Christianity. But the moment I read the first words I felt, more than any book I had ever read, the author was talking directly to me. What a gift, a friend, an encouragement and a guide! Following Carmen Butcher has allowed me to learn about this guy and the contemplative tradition. I feel found.

The unmediated life, the nod and others a blessing to me. Your comforting voice, the simple message beautifully explained and a portal to sanity. I thank you again dear Carmen. With gratitude (again) from Joan in Texas🦋

Your words are deeply comforting as I contemplate my peaceful center, even though stumbles abound. Thank you for posting your careful wisdom as I learn to navigate my own. Please continue❤

Interesting how God works with everyone

Sounds like the way Thomas Merton and James Finley describe God finding Himself in us rather than our finding ourselves in God!!!!!

Rest this mind

Rest

Thanks, Carmen, this was appreciated. Very helpful for persons with anxiety to hear the transference of your calmness😊

Pleasure to hear you again Carmen, my friend. It might be interesting for you to know the word for education and literacy "sawad" in Arabic or the Farsi pronunciation of it "savad" in Farsi also means blackness and darkness, which many mystics warn against taking pride in it.

That is exactly what you are Dr. Finley “A healing presence in midst of this world”. And bless you, for all you endured thru childhood to BE as you are; an authentic treasure of the very best sort. My old preconceived notions & concepts of God and how he does His work within us & without (like “He protects us from nothing”) is a shock to my mere (68year old) system of reasoning. Yet, at same while, this new-to-me awareness I’ve come to crave. Finding my practice through you, David Maginley, Father Rohr, THANK YOU to all of you. And to you, Carmen for making this “program” available, which is like getting directions toward the pathway. You are a grace yourself. Love you all, Cynthia❤

Beautiful meditation, yes, contemplation is community

💎🤩✨

Thank you 🙏

Thank you. Is a full audio book available?

Very nice, Thank you Carmen! I did not need to understand the olde English to appreciate and sense the Spiritual. I did not hear the Sump pump, but I guess I did not need to hear that either. I would rather end my night with the lovely modern version. I presume the Bede you are referring to is Catholic Venerable Bede?

I sang it with you. So lovely. Regards Rob.🙏

So beautiful thank you

James Finley = Sincerity.

Thank you Carmen! God bless you!

There is so very much beautiful here. So many thanks. One of the thingsthat really sticks with me is the idea that we live beneath, through, and with the meaning of our name. It's a sort of karma, our names, perhaps.

Love James Finley. ❤

My Dude. Love you James

Thank you for this wonderful interview! James is so humble, so full of wisdom and love - these qualities shine forth from him. Thank you also for signposting us to his other podcasts and writings so we can continue to learn and develop our spiritual practice

Brilliant Carmen! Thank You

Carmen, That was lovely. So lovely. Love Beowulf and oh that Old English. Amazing treat for 🎃 👻, thank you so much!

Always love your renderings Dr. Carmen! Was the 'our mother, our parents' in the original? I feel like I'm reading it in the Old English (only I don't read Old English and have only worked with text from Greek). That is quite stunning!

Unique, beautiful…

Wow, Carmen! Sooo Love this!

Love the live readings! Thank you❣️

Deep sigh…. Listening to settle my mind.

This is so beautiful, Carmen!! Glad I discovered your you-tube channel! : )

Wonderful overture... thank you ..x

Thank you 🙏

This was so wonderful to hear! 🤍🙏🏼🕊

Thank you for sharing your story and the book.
