The Empowered Through Compassion Podcast8 Jun 2025

IFS, Swedenborg, and our Infinite Spiritual Evolution

This week’s episode is nothing short of extraordinary.

I am honored to welcome back IFS master Bob Falconer, and to be joined for the first time by Chelsea Rose Odhner and Dr. Jonathan S. Rose, two deeply insightful scholars and practitioners of Emanuel Swedenborg’s spiritual teachings.

Together, we explore the sacred intersection of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and The Spirituality of Swedenborg. We all entered into conversation that transcended time, space, and discussed ways to go beyond the boundaries and limits of IFS and the conventional boundaries of healing.

💫 We reflect on the eternal journey of the soul — an ever-unfolding relationship between the Divine within and the Divine beyond. In this journey of becoming, Swedenborg is the ultimate Geographer!

🕊️ Topics include:

The profound parallels between IFS and Swedenborg’s vision of the spiritual world
The "middle realm" — a space beyond space, populated by angels who guide us toward deeper integration
How healing is not a destination, but a sacred unfolding where we get closer to love, insight, and a relationship with the divine

📌 Whether you're a therapist, spiritual seeker, or simply curious about the soul’s path — this conversation will move you.
