EPISODE #195: YOUR MIND IS WRITING FICTION AGAIN: WHY WE DISSOCIATE & HOW TO GENTLY COME BACK
What happens when your mind becomes so distracted that every stranger in the airport, grocery store, or traffic jam turns into a full-blown internal story?
In this episode let’s get honest about how quickly the untrained mind spins narratives, judges everything in sight, and pulls us out of the present moment. Drawing from both psychology and A Course in Miracles, Lindsay explores the real meaning of dissociation, not as pathology, but as the ego’s constant habit of checking out of Spirit and into endless mental movies.
In this episode we talk about:
The everyday ways our minds automatically create stories and judgments (airports, grocery stores, coffee shops, and mundane annoyances).
How psychology defines dissociation, depersonalization, and derealization.
What A Course in Miracles means by dissociation: the ego’s original split from God and its ongoing distraction tactics.
Why most of us are simply lacking mind training and don’t even know it.
Practical, light-hearted ways to start watching your mind this week without judgment.
How to catch the stories, laugh at them, and return to the quiet center where Spirit is always waiting.
If your mind feels noisy, scattered, or constantly on a tangent, this episode offers a simple, humorous reset. No mountain-top practices or long meditations required. Just honest observation and a little willingness to see differently.
Listen now and start noticing the stories your mind is telling. You might be pleasantly surprised how quickly they lose their power once you stop taking them so seriously.
