In this first episode of the ACIM Book Club on the ForgiveNest Podcast, host Alison Anton explores principles 1-9 of 'A Course in Miracles.' She explains how Jesus redefines miracles as expressions of love, emphasizing that miracles benefit both the giver and the receiver. Alison discusses the importance of seeing miracles as natural, involuntary expressions of love and how this viewpoint challenges common perceptions. Each principle weaves into the others, culminating in the understanding that miracles are a natural exchange of God's universal love. The session begins and ends with a practice statement, 'Miracles occur naturally as expressions of my love,' encouraging listeners to integrate the principles into their daily lives.
