Send us Fan MailIf you have ever felt like pain makes you “better,” like sacrifice earns love, or like God must punish someone for the world to make sense, we take that belief apart from the inside. We are reading A Course in Miracles in the section “Atonement Without Sacrifice,” and we follow the thread to a surprisingly practical claim: perception only reflects the state of mind that perceives. When the mind believes in guilt, it will see guilt. When it believes attack is justified, it will find enemies, danger, and proof that fear is rational.From there we slow down and get usable. We talk about what ACIM means by innocence, not moral superiority, not pretending nothing hurts, but a willingness to be untouched by the belief in evil. That willingness becomes forgiveness in the Course sense: releasing the idea that guilt is even possible, so our vision can clear. We also unpack “defending true perception,” which is not “winning” spiritual arguments, but protecting clarity in our own mind and refusing to build an identity out of judgment, specialness, and victimhood.We end by naming how sacrifice-thinking shows up everywhere: in relationships, work, health anxiety, scarcity mindset, and the constant story of “not enough.” The line that anchors it all is simple: sacrifice is totally unknown to God, because love does not trade, deprive, or demand payment. If you want a calmer nervous system, cleaner relationships, and a more stable sense of the peace of God, press play and practice along.

Send us Fan MailNothing shakes us faster than the feeling that something real just got threatened: our image, our relationships, our safety, our future. Today we take a single ACIM statement and push it all the way into lived experience: “The resurrection demonstrated that nothing can destroy truth.” If that is true, then what exactly are we defending, and what would it feel like to stop?We walk slowly through Chapter 3 Section 3 (paragraphs 8 to 9) and unpack why the Course says good can “withstand” evil, why light does not battle darkness, and why the atonement is presented as the perfect lesson that confirms every other teaching. Along the way we answer a listener question about the light and dark metaphor, offering a clean translation that keeps the teaching practical without turning it into a dualistic struggle.The heart of the episode is application. We explore the Course's “deductive approach” to healing: start with the general truth and apply it to every specific moment, instead of analyzing problems one by one. Then we move into the lived meaning of “commending your spirit into the hands of God” as a decision to drop self-authorship, let the mind awaken from the dream of separation, and remember its Creator. The result is not occasional calm, but the possibility of perfect integration and the reign of the peace of God.If this resonates, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who is tired of fighting their mind, and leave a review so more people can find these ACIM deep dives.

Each choice is a choice for littleness or magnitude.  The ego would have us stay in littleness and give littleness to others.  The Holy Spirit holds our magitude untouch for us and can always help us decide for God. 

This section covers that we settle for littleness when God has Magnitude for us. Littleness does not content us and is part of our reason for lack of peace that we experience. Only Magnitude will content us.

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever felt like spiritual growth requires suffering, this one will challenge that belief at the root. We're deep in A Course in Miracles Chapter 3, “Sane Perception,” and we keep circling a single correction that changes everything: God does not demand sacrifice, and the atonement is not a story you interpret. It's a present, living correction that restores the mind to what's already true.We slow down on two lines that hit like lightning: “God Himself is not symbolic, He is fact,” and “The atonement too is totally without symbolism.” When God becomes an idea, an image, or a concept we manage, the ego can make Him loving one moment and punishing the next. But if God is fact, truth isn't something we negotiate with, earn, or figure out. From there we explore “light” as knowledge beyond perception, why confusion never comes from truth, and how willingness, not effort, is what removes the shroud.Then we bring it into real life: bodily symptoms, nervous system stories, heartbreak, and the fear that inner work will expose something shameful. ACIM's answer is blunt and strangely relieving: the atonement radiates only truth, epitomizes harmlessness, and sheds only blessing because it arises from perfect innocence. We end by unpacking the reversal that the world hates: innocence isn't naïve, it's wisdom, because evil has no real existence, and innocence stays perfectly aware of everything that is true.Subscribe for more ACIM deep dives, share this with someone stuck in the “pain equals progress” loop, and leave a review with the line that challenged you most.Support the show

Reflections are seen in light and in darkness they are obscure. The call is to stop doing what does not help or heal and allow the Spirit of God to shine from you and me to all the world.

We don't talk about miracles much, but on the 17th of May Kris unpacked a valuable 20th Century Christian text: A Course in Miracles, by Helen Schucman. While couched in Christian terms, the author's philosophy incorporates modern psychology and focuses on love, relationships and inner growth. Thus you may find it to be a valuable guide to your spiritual path.

Continuing with the there of GUILTLESSNESS I am covering the section on the The Circle of Atonement and our part in this circle.

Being freed and experiencing healing has been made difficult unless we can understand the release from guilt.  The release from guilt for ourselves and others is available as we look with in.

My daily studies the last couple of days have been about ending guilt and guilt is something that does plague us and we probably spend way more time then we would wan to add up guilty or making others feel guilty. Jesus came to free us from this.

We go deep into the subject and look at it from the vantage point of Matt's experiences.Including jail and God.We speak about relevant ideas from A Course In Miracles and how to trust God.

Send us Fan Mail“Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord” might be one of the most fear-loaded lines people carry around, and we pull it apart carefully through A Course in Miracles. We're in Chapter 3 on sane perception, Section 3 on atonement without sacrifice, and we stay with what the text actually corrects: the idea that God punishes, that suffering is spiritually valuable, or that pain is required for salvation. If you've ever felt relief imagining someone “getting what they deserve”, we name that as ego comfort and ask what it costs your peace. From there, we follow the mind's mechanics: guilt arises, the mind believes it has an “evil past”, and then projection turns that private fear into a cosmic story about God. The Course's correction is blunt and strangely tender: the “evil conscience” from the past has nothing to do with God, God did not create it, and God does not maintain it. We also contrast the ego's consequence-based world of action, reaction, repayment, and karmic retribution with creation as extension of love, where nothing real is harmed and nothing needs to be repaid. We widen the lens to the Garden of Eden exile story and how a single projection error can spawn whole networks of religious fear, shame, and the belief that God rejects His Son. We end with a practical safeguard: even clear spiritual teaching can be twisted when the ego “invents” new meanings, so we learn to check our interpretation by how it feels in the body and whether it restores gentleness. If this helped you breathe easier, subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review so more people can find this path back to peace.Support the show

- Contact -"Evil destroys even itself."  Aristotle. " Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you."Aldous HuxleyThe word evil is live, and devil is lived spelled backward.  Lies are backward forms of thought imagining false is true or truth is false.  Whenever we choose to think this way inner conflict, emotional turmoil, and mental anguish indicate we know something is wrong and is an admission we know better.  Obsessive thoughts are highly reactive and manufacture an insane split personality we call ego to assign blame. Splitting atoms causes a chain reaction by splitting adjacent atoms just as reactive behaviors trigger reactivity in our nuclear family of humankind. When nuclear reactors lose control of the release of atomic energy meltdowns occur.  When our struggle to maintain our seeming self as a split personality is literaly out of control emotional and nervous breakdowns, called meltdowns, oftenresult from the pent-up pressure of anxiety and stress stored in our bodies. Wrong thoughts are not a problem until they are believed in as right.  Belief, like any lie, is an opinion imagined to be true. Reality and Truth do not require, ask for, or demand belief or to be thought of at all to Be exactly as They Are. That which does not change is not changed by thinking.  All forms of social ills, anti-social behaviors, and defective actions follow this broken line of irrational thinking.  Self-righteous indignation is never right as its basis is an impossible fight to turn thinking into reality, while it is imagined. This insanity has led to suppressing, oppressing, and killing people who think differently than their aggressor.  This form of justified fighting is happening today - simply because the root of this thinking has not been talked about openly and accurately to dissolve the reactive impulsive rather than justify resolutions that lead to what can seem like different problems while this fractured state of defective thinking is the same. Fantasy as reality is insanity.  We are not afraid of dying we are afraid to have Life's light shine on our dark shadows and reveal the self we think we are is smoke and mirrors, since it is a lie, not our reality. We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune that are accurately called disorders. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse Nature's Law and Order and our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing and compound and degrade health.  Mentality is a bodily function.  Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion.  Principles affirm Our Indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality which is impossible to accomplish though we are free to try.   Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible gibberish of ignorance - not reality. 

A Course in Miracles has its own form of psychotherapy—a complete approach to healing the mind rooted in its spiritual thought system. In this conversation, we explore the Course's approach to therapy, covering: What the Course teaches about psychotherapy Why therapy plays such a central role in its thought system How it compares to approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Why the Course emphasizes changing perception over analyzing the past The role of forgiveness in true psychological healing What a "holy relationship" between therapist and patient really means At its core, the Course's version of therapy is about shifting our emotional worldview—from fear, guilt, and defensiveness to a deeper recognition of innocence, safety, and love.

Looking honestly at mental problems is difficult while obsessed with acting out of order, against any favorable interests, by opposing instinct's nature that naturally guides us to survive and thrive.Emotional sobriety is sane living. Compulsive behaviors never favor our interests. A good example is imagining addiction is an escape into safety by denying actual Reality.  Sick thoughts imagine stellar results while fertilizing the degradation and reckless abandon of pitiful consequences.  We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes.

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever tried to merge “God is love” with a story that treats suffering as holy, you've felt the mental strain we're untangling today. We go line by line through A Course in Miracles (ACIM) in “Atonement Without Sacrifice,” exposing how the sacrifice interpretation of the crucifixion inverts everything: love gets recast as punishment, guilt feels factual, and fear of God starts to seem reasonable. I keep returning to one simple test: can Love really think in a way that justifies harm?We follow the consequences from the inside out. On the personal level, turning truth upside down creates a split mind that shows up as tension, confusion, unease, and self-blame. On the collective level, the same belief system scales into “righteous attack” and persecution, because if punishment is considered redemptive, then harming someone can be framed as serving the good. We don't fix this by attacking people or debating doctrine. We protect the truth by refusing to make illusions meaningful.Then we bring it down to everyday language you've heard your whole life: “This hurts me more than it hurts you,” “tough love,” “no pain no gain,” and “this is happening for your growth.” ACIM calls out the escape value in those ideas, because they let the ego keep guilt hidden while harm stays in place. We also talk about pain in a grounded way, including breath, fascia work, and why calm breathing is a real-time guide for healing without endurance.The turning point is a sentence that cuts through centuries of guilt: “I was not punished because you were bad.” If you're ready for atonement without sacrifice, listen now, share this with someone stuck in religious guilt, and please subscribe, rate, and review so more minds can find a gentler way through.Support the show

Send us Fan MailThe crucifixion has been used for centuries as a lesson in sacrifice but what if that “lesson” is exactly what keeps us afraid of God? I take a close, line-by-line look at A Course in Miracles (Complete and Annotated Edition) and land on a simple correction: suffering is not salvation, and pain is not proof of love. The resurrection points to something far more liberating, that nothing real can be harmed and nothing needs to be paid for.From there, we explore how an upside down frame of reference can make devotion feel like loss and surrender feel dangerous. I talk about how sincere Christians and devoted ministers can pass along an interpretation with real tenderness and still be repeating a distortion, that God permits suffering, especially for “good” people. ACIM calls out the downstream effect clearly: fear of God. When the mind believes God uses punishment or sacrifice, trust becomes impossible, and the heart hesitates right at the doorway of intimacy.I also bring this into daily life: how to respond when something feels false without attacking anyone. “Protect the truth” becomes a practical instruction for relationships, online arguments, and inner conflict. And we end with a powerful compass for discernment: if you have to twist your whole frame of reference to justify a belief, you don't need to accept it.If this brings you relief or challenges something you've carried for years, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find ACIM teachings that lead to peace.Support the show

Send us Fan MailThe fastest way to exhaust yourself on a spiritual path is to treat awakening like a deadline. I slow that whole momentum down by leaning into two lines from A Course in Miracles that completely change the feel of practice: time is under Jesus' direction, and timelessness belongs to God alone. When you really take that in, the pressure to purify yourself through strain starts to dissolve, and what remains is willingness, trust, and a much kinder relationship with your own mind. From there, we move out of abstraction and into daily life. “In time, we exist for and with each other” turns human relationship into the classroom where miracles and forgiveness actually happen. I unpack the difference between “for” (purpose and healing) and “with” (presence and joined minds), and why this rejects spiritual bypassing. Then we rest in the stunning clarity of “In timelessness, we coexist with God” and explore what timelessness means in ACIM: no sequence, no earning, no progress ladder, only direct union that doesn't erase what God created. That foundation lets us enter the next section, Atonement Without Sacrifice, and name the belief that keeps miracles scary: the fear that God's correction will cost us something real. We walk through the reversal that ACIM makes with precision: “The crucifixion did not establish the atonement. The resurrection did.” We also look at the scarcity fallacy, the inner lack that makes sacrifice seem normal, and how releasing scarcity restores trust, safety, and joy in spiritual healing. If this brings relief, subscribe, share this with a friend who feels stuck in sacrifice thinking, and leave a review so more people can find these ACIM deep dives.

Send us Fan MailTwo short lines from the Bible have carried centuries of argument, ritual, and longing. We slow them way down and let A Course in Miracles do what it does best: strip the surface meaning, return the cause to the mind, and reveal a practical path from conflict to peace.We explore why “be of one mind” is not a demand for group agreement, but a description of revelation readiness: the mind rising above inner division into a single, steady orientation toward truth. Along the way we clarify three distinct states ACIM points to again and again: the divided mind of ego, the single-mindedness that grows through forgiveness and miracle-mindedness, and the one-mindedness of spirit that arrives as revelation. That distinction can end a lot of spiritual strain, because it shows what we practice and what we cannot force.Then we take on “do this in remembrance of me” and follow Jesus' radical reinterpretation: not a requirement to perform a ritual, but a gentle request to cooperate with him in miracle working. We connect the deeper aim of communion to what miracles actually restore: union, shared interest, and the felt undoing of separation in the mind. Finally, we lay out a clear map of time versus timelessness, why memory is a time mechanism, and what it means when Jesus says time is under his direction while timelessness belongs to God alone.If you found yourself chasing a peak experience or treating healing like an achievement, this conversation offers a calmer, cleaner framework.

Send us Fan MailThe mind loves to insist that what happened “out there” caused what we feel “in here” but ACIM turns that whole chain of causation upside down. From Lake Wacom in Washington, I walk slowly through A Course in Miracles, Chapter 3, Section 2 (Special Principles for Miracle Workers) and follow the argument to a conclusion that can feel shocking at first: wrong-mindedness does not create real effects. Its real effect is emptiness, and that emptiness is exactly why projection is so seductive.We explore what it means to call the world of form “empty form” and why the body, money, relationships, ageing, diagnosis, and events have no inherent meaning until the mind assigns content. When something feels heavy, lonely, or threatening, we look for the projected meaning that is being energised right now and ask what it would feel like without that meaning. From there, the miracle comes into focus as a level adjustment: healing is not a form upgrade, it is corrected perception and the end of level confusion.Then we bring it home to forgiveness. Forgiveness is an empty gesture unless it entails correction, because forgiving while still believing someone's mistake tarnished their identity is just judgment in disguise. We unpack “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” as a model of miraculous forgiveness that does not evaluate outcomes, does not pardon guilt, and makes a simple appeal for minds to be healed. If you're ready to question the outcome you can't stop replaying and test a gentler, cleaner way to heal, press play.Subscribe for more ACIM deep dives, share this with someone stuck in a grievance loop, and leave a review so more listeners can find it.

In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry explore an often overlooked dimension of the Course's history: the influence of Black voices and Black religious culture. Recorded during Black History Month, this conversation brings forward connections that have rarely been discussed in the Course community. From Helen Schucman's early spiritual formation in a Harlem Baptist church to the appearance of African American cultural influences within the Course itself, the episode uncovers surprising threads woven into the story of A Course in Miracles. Among the topics discussed: The profound influence of Idabel, the Black Baptist housekeeper who helped shape Helen Schucman's early spiritual life How an African proverb entered the Course through a remark by an elevator operator The connection between the Course and James Weldon Johnson, a Harlem Renaissance writer and civil rights leader Helen Schucman's poem "Glory Train," inspired by the tradition of Black spirituals What the teachings of A Course in Miracles may offer in conversations about equality, healing, and spiritual liberation This episode also reflects on the unique way the Course presents a vision of radical spiritual equality—a vision that rejects hierarchy and affirms that everyone without exception is equal in God's eyes. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Send a textOne ACIM line changes the whole direction of the journey: “The next step… does involve the direct approach to God Himself.” We take that sentence seriously and follow its implications all the way through. I'm reading from the Complete and Annotated Edition (2021), and Wayne and I unpack why miracles are not about polishing the dream. Miracles correct perception, reduce fear, and stabilise the mind so it stops getting hooked by the same mechanical ego patterns on repeat. When the turbulence drops, receptivity becomes possible. Then we sit with ACIM's rare caution: starting the direct approach without “very careful preparation” is unwise, because awe can be confused with fear. We talk about what preparation actually is (undoing guilt, relinquishing specialness, forgiving, letting the mind get quiet) and what it is not (spiritual performance, rituals, chasing peak states). The key distinction is interpretation: the same expansion beyond the separate self can feel like home or like annihilation, depending on how much fear the mind still defends. The second anchor is even simpler: “Healing is of God in the end.” That line cuts through two ego traps at once: trying to earn awakening through effort and trying to opt out of practice because “God will do it.” We explore the middle way ACIM teaches, plus why revelation may occasionally show the end but the means are still needed to reach it. Forgiveness interrupts the chain of miscreation, restores innocence, and keeps the path grounded in real mind training. If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend who's tired of spiritual pressure, and leave a review so more people can find these ACIM deep dives.Support the show

Send a textYour mind keeps insisting there isn't enough: not enough time, not enough space, not enough money, not enough safety. We slow that whole reflex down and look at a line from A Course in Miracles that cuts straight through it: “The miracle abolishes the need for lower order concerns.” Not the circumstances. The need. The inner urgency that makes the world feel like a threat.We explore what “lower order concerns” really are (schedules, health anxiety, finances, logistics, status, outcomes) and why the miracle is a perceptual correction rather than a form-level fix. From there we move into the Course's radical view of time and space: a miracle is “out of pattern,” not logically caused by the past, which means the script can break. When we choose right-mindedness, we stop treating limitation as primary, and the next practical step becomes cleaner, calmer, and often surprisingly obvious.We also unpack the essential distinction between what is created (eternal spirit) and what is made (the body, the world, identity stories), plus a sharp warning for every would-be miracle worker: never confuse right-mindedness with wrong-mindedness. If we meet miscreation with anything but a desire to heal, we reinforce the confusion. The miracle denies the error and affirms the truth, without repression and without spiritual bypassing.If you want grounded spiritual practice, forgiveness that actually reduces fear, and a more peaceful relationship with “not enough,” press play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who's drowning in urgency, and leave a review with the one lower order concern you're ready to release.Support the show

What role does spirituality play in recovery, and is it possible to stay sober for decades without it? Today, I sit down with Nigel to explore alcoholism, ego, fear, and the deeper search for meaning that often lies beneath addiction.At 38, Nigel had everything most people would call success - a family, a good job, a comfortable life. But inside, he was empty. Alcohol had been part of his life since he was twelve, and by his late thirties, it had taken away everything it once gave him.What followed was a complete shift in how he saw himself, addiction, and the world around him. He came to believe that the voice in his head - his ego - was at the root of his drinking, and that freedom came from learning to live beyond it.Nigel has been sober for over 30 years, but his recovery was never just about stopping drinking. For him, it became a profound shift in how he experiences life, identity, and connection. He describes alcoholism as an extreme form of ego, rooted in separation, self-hatred, and what he calls “suicide by instalments.” Looking back, Nigel recognises that much of his drinking arose from an early sense that life had no intrinsic meaning, a feeling he began noticing even as a child.In this conversation, Nigel takes us beyond conventional recovery talk. He explains how ego and alcoholism are intertwined, why active drinking is a slow form of self-destruction, and how the mind can construct bleak narratives to justify addictive behaviour. He explores the difference between illusion and reality, revealing why joy is always present even beneath fear. Viewing recovery through a spiritual lens, Nigel shows how seeing ourselves as connected to God - or a higher source - can reshape how we live, how we relate to others, and how we understand ourselves. He introduces a non-dual perspective, highlighting our inherent divinity, equality, and connection to all, and he challenges common fears around death, suggesting that embracing the eternal present can bring lasting peace.Whether or not you share his spiritual perspective, this episode offers a profound and thought-provoking look at what it takes to recover, find meaning, and stay sober long-term. It's an episode that will make you rethink fear, joy, and the true nature of connection.Today you will learn of what happens when you stop chasing happiness out there… and start looking for it within.

Overeating and food addiction are often hidden struggles—wrapped in shame, secrecy, and the exhausting cycle of "this will fix it" followed by guilt. Drawing on restored material from Helen Schucman's notes in the Complete and Annotated Edition of A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry explore the one powerful passage in the Course that directly mentions overeating—and what it reveals about the "scarcity fallacy." This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, ashamed, or alone around food—and for anyone facing any form of addiction. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

In our conversation we look at ideas from A Course In Miracles like we can all agree that we want to be perfectly happy in the context of mental, physical disabillities and George's experiences.We go deep into accountability as the solution.Substack https://substack.com/@georgepbrooks?r=6hme2g&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=profile&shareImageVariant=blur

Contact Welcomed Here"The horizon of many people is a circle with a radius of zero. They call this their point of view." Albert Einstein. It is not a loss of memory but the lack of human perspective we suffer by imagining all that we are is the subject of subjective thought. A dimension of zero has no perspective in space and time - so any imagined self has no value, awareness, or place since it has no life being wholly imagined.  Feeling like you don't belong is caused by thoughts that have no basis, and so no place in Reality. To think imagination is reality is to think reality is fantasy and turns the extraordinary benefit of imagination into a dire liability.    Thinking is not the source of existence while it is the primary source of human experience. Thinking naturally offers the potential to exist humanely and the freedom to mis-think and act inhumane. Nature is natural and so it is our nature. Insanity is a byproduct of unnatural, unhealthy, abnormal obsessive thinking.  Social ills are the collective nature of sick thoughts: mental illness.  Any clamoring voices in our heads are attached to ideas that are only thought to be true, masquerading as all that can be.  The reactive nature of addiction starts with denial that we are not causing the experience we have.  To think of mental suffering as happening to us is to think we have nothing to do with what and how we think.  The inducement and imposition of thoughts in conflict starts with our choices and the decsion they are right, while that is never if ever the case.  Limited thoughts always have room from improvement.  Absolute Right never changes since there is no more or less an Infinite Source can or will ever Be.  We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune that are accurately called disorders. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse Nature's Law and Order and our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing and compound and degrade health. Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion. Principles affirm Our Indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality which is impossible to accomplish though we are free to try. Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible gibberish of ignorance - not reality.

In this conversation we explore the benefits of removing attachments.We talk about insights from A Course In Miracles.We speak about Wicca and how Empress left Christian Churches.We speak of Love and of how we all come from the same source.We speak about the Holy Relationship and the Special Relationship, about how the world came about and how it will end.In this conversation you will be inspired to change your mind.

Send us a textEver notice how quickly we blame our bodies for our feelings? We dig into A Course in Miracles' bold reminder that mind is cause and the body is a neutral device for learning and communication. By returning cause to thought, we dissolve the exhausting loop where symptoms, circumstances, and biographies get treated as the source of fear. That shift doesn't deny care; it frees care from panic and restores gentle responsibility: honest noticing, clear choosing, and willingness to let correction happen.From there, we tackle a subtle trap: awe. When admiration becomes awe among equals, hierarchy sneaks in. Pedestals feel inspiring at first, then quietly breed dependency, over-caring, and fear of loss. We share simple tells—monitoring someone's state, feeling responsible for their peace, or shrinking around their perceived power—and offer a clean replacement: recognition. Equal worth, shared mind, steady respect, genuine gratitude. This clears space for guidance to lead without specialness distorting the bond.We also re-anchor awe where it belongs: with the Creator. Properly placed, awe doesn't make us small; it confirms safety, source, and real power. Misplaced, it confuses awesome with fearful and keeps us braced against the very love that heals. Through stories, practical examples, and ACIM references, we show how to stop using the body as a defense, how to meet sensations as mirrors instead of meanings, and how to let miracles arise when defenses fall away. The result is less rumination, fewer bodily narratives, and more ease in everyday choices.If this conversation sparked clarity, subscribe, share with a friend who loves ACIM, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

Obsessive thougths are not a product of wrong thoughts - but imagning they are right.  We are not here to talk about stopping but to come to terms with the fact that we each are Responsible for what we start - and its consqeunces.  Principles are Absolute. They never change. The primary mental failing is imagining they do while it is our thinking about them that does. Abstinence, Right thinking and right action are the aim of symptomatic recovery and emotional sobriety.  The degree to which we correct any misidentification or misunderstanding about the functional capacity of our body, brain, feelings, words or behaviors or determines whether we choose from the desperation and dysfunction or rely on our natural functional capacity of Inspiration, Intuituion and Wisdom. Sobriety is not about acting right but the natural able flexibility of correcting wrongs. The body cannot process highly processed forms of nature, like alcohol, drugs, refined sugar or highly processed food.  The brain, in the body, cannot process insanity: highly processed mental fixations on fictional, imagination believed to be reality. All matter in the universe has substance, including our human body and conscoiusness. Lies are simply possibilities of thought with no substance - including the thoughts determining they are true, real and always right. We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are.

In this Sunday Gathering sermon, Emily Perry explores how A Course in Miracles understands grief and loss and what it offers us when the pain feels overwhelming. Drawing on lived experience, psychological research, and the Course's teachings, Emily examines why grief often comes in waves, how grief differs from depression, why healing does not come from "moving on" but from integrating a new reality, and the Course's radical idea that grief arises not from loss itself but from how loss is interpreted. If you are grieving, walking alongside someone who is, or simply seeking a deeper spiritual understanding of loss, this sermon offers a perspective rooted in the assurance that love is never truly lost. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Send us a textSummary of Cameo 14 & Cameo 9, Chapter 3, Part I, Paragraph 4, Sentence 2 & 3 | Summary of Key Points in Chapters 1 and 2A tiny, unwatched fear can hijack a whole day. We trace ACIM's chain of miscreation from its first faint flicker—what Jesus calls a “will-o'-the-wisp”—through strain, irritation, self-protection, and the cascade of missed guidance that follows. Using vivid stories (a botched cab ride, a cold doorway, even cat-and-meat drama), we show how events are irrelevant; the real lesson is how the mind slides from fear to reaction when it isn't watched.We lay down seven foundations that make everything else click: miracles are shifts in perception, not outcomes; cause and effect live in the mind; fear is self-generated; the body is neutral; guidance replaces control; circular miracles differ from corrective ones; and a unified will ends the sense of coercion. From relationships to sickness, we examine how level confusion turns bodies into causes and life into negotiation. Then we flip it: when the mind pauses and pardons, time shortens, efficiency appears, and action becomes light and clear for everyone involved.Along the way, we unpack a jarring but useful ACIM phrase—“mental retardation” as a defense—not to label people, but to name the tendency to feign confusion to avoid responsibility. The cure is simple willingness: study what matters, watch the first hint of strain, offer pardon, and let guidance carry you. If you're ready to stop wasting time with urgency and start saving time with miracles, this conversation will give you language, tools, and lived examples to practice today.If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who studies ACIM, and leave a review so more seekers can find the show.

Send us a textEver act from your heart and still feel torn inside? We unpack a core ACIM insight: behavior–will conflict. The twist isn't moral—your true will already aligns with peace. The friction comes from mistaking ego preferences for what you actually want. That misrecognition creates strain, hesitation, and guilt, even when you choose rightly. The remedy is gentle and practical: steady attention, honest study, and mind watching that invites perception to be corrected in the moment.We explore how study periods are cooperation with guidance, not homework for spiritual overachievers. Attention becomes the doorway to sane perception, where “right action” flows without force. Fantasies about a “perfect life” are exposed as distractions that occupy the mind and delay peace. Instead, we return to the holy instant—recognizing that discomfort is a signal to look again, not proof that we're off-path. From this place, everyday choices reorganize around truth.Cameo 14, “The Chain of Miscreation,” offers a vivid, relatable story: a missed nudge to offer a cab ride cascades into delay, cold, and compensatory “atonements” that make things worse. The lesson is concrete—countering error with error multiplies fear; asking for guidance collapses time. Even irritation at a stranger can become a miracle when we build confidence instead of joining in error. By meeting attack as a call for love and seeing innocence in all players, we dissolve strain at its source.If you're ready to trade efforting for clarity, this deep dive brings theology down to street level—how to spot ego scripts, decline them kindly, and let peace lead. Subscribe, share with a friend who overthinks “right action,” and leave a review telling us where you felt the biggest shift.Support the show

Send us a textWhat if the simplest habit—assigning yourself a daily study period—could collapse years of recurring patterns? We dive into Chapter 3 of A Course in Miracles, “Sane Perception,” and explore how attention, curiosity, and willingness retrain the mind at the level where problems begin. Instead of polishing behavior or trading spiritual jargon, we lean into experience: noticing contraction in the body, asking “What is this for?” and letting guidance reframe the moment. The result is a practical approach to healing that you can use right away, even for the messy, very human situations that most of us would rather avoid.We get candid about charged encounters and the freeze response, and how clarity—not control—creates authentic communication and clean boundaries. You'll hear why “good students assign study periods,” how even one minute of practice can outweigh hours of conditioning, and why the Course works best when treated as mind training rather than philosophy. We also examine sensation chasing—doomscrolling and internal arguments—and show how to turn those spirals into live study periods that restore neutrality and choice.Another key shift: reinterpreting limitation as a call for love. We revisit a dated term from the 1960s text to reveal a timeless principle—any defense can be repurposed for truth. Nothing the ego made is beyond the Holy Spirit's use. When you stop consulting the same mind that made the confusion and start asking for help, many “unsolved” problems reveal themselves as already answered. Readiness is the real threshold: are you willing to be taught, to schedule your practice, and to let meaning be given rather than manufactured?If this resonates, subscribe, share with someone who needs a gentle nudge toward sanity, and leave a review to help others find the show.

In this conversation about Jesus's First Instructions on How to Live A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily go back to the earliest days of the dictation of A Course in Miracles, when Jesus was first speaking to Helen Schucman and laying out—right from the start—how this Course was meant to be lived. The night before Helen heard the words, "This is a course in miracles. Please take notes," and in the weeks immediately afterward, Jesus gave direct guidance. He described what to do, how to approach this path, and how to live it—before the Course even fully took shape. In this episode you'll hear: What Jesus said to Helen and Bill in the earliest dictation How those instructions frame the entire Course Why the beginning matters for how the Course is lived today If you've ever wondered whether there's something essential in the way the Course was introduced—something that still matters for students now—this conversation is for you. ✨ Continue the Journey with Course Companions If this teaching resonated and you feel called to truly live A Course in Miracles in the new year, we invite you to join Course Companions.

In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry take a deep look at the Course's system of practical application—the concrete, daily instructions Jesus gives for meditation, guidance, forgiveness, prayer, miracle-mindedness, and the steady practices that allow the Course's promises to become real in our lives. The Course is not vague at all—it tells us exactly what to do—but most of us don't realize how practical it truly is, or how much power is hidden in doing what it asks. If you've ever thought, "If I really applied myself, I know I could live this teaching more fully," this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm opening the door to the part of my life I rarely talk about — the part that shaped everything I teach, everything I love, and everything I've built. I'm sharing the real spiritual journey behind my work… the revelations, the breakdowns, the corrections, the contradictions, the experiences that shattered me and the ones that rebuilt me. Not the polished version. The actual one. If you've ever sensed that there's something deeper behind the way I explain relationships, love, purpose, and healing… you're right. And today, I'm finally naming it. This isn't religion. It's not dogma. It's not “believe this or else.” It's the path I walked to remember who I am — and the lens that opened everything in my life. If you've felt the pull toward something deeper but didn't have the language for it… you're going to feel this one. And make sure you listen to the end — I have something special for those of you who want to step into this work with me in the new year.

This week's conversation on The You-est You® Podcast feels especially close to my heart. I sat down with Emily Perry, Director of the Circle of Atonement and host of the Exploring A Course in Miracles podcast, to dive into the timeless wisdom of A Course in Miracles. We talked about true forgiveness, healing, and what it really means to view upsets, resentments, and grievances through the lens of love.  Emily shared how the Course invites us to see attacks not as personal offenses, but as calls for love — a shift that changes everything. If you've ever felt the weight of judgment or the challenge of forgiveness in your life, I think you'll find this episode to be both healing and deeply inspiring.
