Exploring A Course in Miracles

We have all been influenced by Jesus to some degree, and yet that influence hasn't always been benign. But what if history has gotten Jesus wrong? There has been a long tradition of scholarship investigating who the historical Jesus really was. Does it confirm what Christianity has said about him, or does it suggest that he was a very different figure than we learn about in church? Join Robert and Emily as they dive into historical Jesus scholarship (that is completely independent of A Course in Miracles) and share a new picture of Jesus, the wisdom teacher, versus the icon that has been made of him.

"Soul" has become a controversial word among students of A Course in Miracles. The word was there in the original dictation but was almost entirely edited out by the time the Course was published in 1976. Indeed, it was even mostly edited out in the Complete and Annotated Edition. What's going on here? In this podcast, Robert and Emily answer a variety of questions about the soul: What is it? Why are we so attached to the word? Why was "soul" largely edited out? Are there passages that speak of the concept but don't mention the word? Why does Jesus call it "controversial"? How important is it really? What is the big takeaway for our lives? Please join us for an informed tour through a concept that is little known in the Course but that most all of us feel a connection with.

A fascinating figure crops up in the early dictation of A Course in Miracles: Mrs. Albert. In those early days, Course scribes Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford were being schooled in how to be miracle workers. In the middle of that process, they were told, "Look carefully at Mrs. Albert. She is working miracles every day because she knows who she is." In this podcast, Robert and Emily do exactly that—they look carefully at Mrs. Albert. If she was working miracles every day, what can we learn from her? How can her example teach us to be miracle workers? Mrs. Albert is not well known in the Course community at large, but she is beloved by those students who know about her. She embodies a striking combination of inner security and outer fearlessness, one we all could learn from.

We all have the dream of having the ideal spiritual day, but how do we have it? There is a beloved section in A Course in Miracles that gives us a step-by-step answer to this very question. The section is called "Rules for Decision," and it outlines what it calls "the rules which promise you a happy day." It tells you exactly what to do in the morning, throughout the day, and whenever you hit a snag. The resulting day is completely doable, and when you actually apply the process as outlined, it works. You have a qualitatively different kind of day. Robert and Emily have spent a great deal of time with this section, and in this podcast, they walk you through it. They discuss the practical steps that the section teaches and they discuss the experience of carrying those steps out, along with some fun real-life examples.

Students of A Course in Miracles typically recognize that the Course's main teaching is forgiveness. Yet many often assume that this is about forgiving ourselves. Even if we forgive others, don't we need to forgive ourselves first? Robert and Emily talk about this question in this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles. Is the Course talking mainly about forgiving other people or forgiving ourselves? What is the relation between them? And which one comes first? If you want to learn more about what the Course teaches on forgiveness, don't miss this discussion.

We all know the title. A Course in Miracles. That tells us this is an educational course designed to teach us to experience or give "miracles." What the Course means by miracles, then, is central since it's the key issue in determining what this course is all about. In our latest episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert Perry and Emily Bennington Perry discuss the definition of a miracle, misperceptions of what a miracle is, and how to be miracle-workers in our every day.

There is a reason that a million voices are promising us greater physical health: We all want it and need it. What if the real road to health is something that we are not hearing from those million voices? A Course in Miracles has a teaching about health that runs through its pages, but it's not what conventional doctors and alternative health practitioners are telling us. What is this teaching? How, according to the Course, can we enjoy glowing health, where our body is so immune that "It needs no complicated structures of defense, no health-inducing medicine, no care, and no concern at all"? Please join Robert and Emily as they explore this important and controversial topic. ***************** We are here to help you with both the theory and application of what A Course In Miracles (ACIM) offers.
