In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard is joined by Keith Kavanagh, known for his uncompromising clarity and direct approach to A Course in Miracles and nondual awakening.

This isn’t a traditional interview. It’s a space to slow down, listen deeply, and let insight land — not as theory, but as lived recognition.

Together, Jody and Keith explore one of the most misunderstood teachings in spirituality: forgiveness.

Not forgiveness as something moral or personal — but forgiveness as ACIM points to it: a shift in purpose, a release of misidentification, and a willingness to stop fixing the dream and let truth reinterpret everything.

In this conversation, you’ll hear about:

• Why forgiveness has nothing to do with other people
• How to apply forgiveness to money stress, health issues, and relationship conflict
• Why awakening can feel clear… then seem “lost”
• How the mind quietly reasserts control through effort and identity
• What embodiment actually looks like in ordinary life

Keith also shares about his upcoming teaching series at Center for Awakening:
Stillness Wars: Awakening, Clarity, Forgiveness & Embodiment — a 4-part live series for those who’ve had glimpses of truth but feel caught between awakening and the mind’s management.

If you’re tired of efforting, fixing, or trying to “hold” awakening, this series is an invitation to let truth live you instead.

About Keith Kavanagh:
Though Keith first started reading A Course in Miracles thirty years ago, it was only after eight long years of a severe generalized anxiety disorder that he threw himself into the Course’s process of unbinding identity from thoughts and the meeting of the shadow of sin, guilt and fear in the mind with the Course’s forgiveness practice: undoing projections and bringing the unprotected shadow to non-judgmental Awareness, meeting emotion without story. The anxiety disorder fell away and, unexpectedly, there was an awakening from thought identification to a nondual, rather vaporous, world of incredible beauty.
