Welcome to Episode 6 of  A Crash Course in Miracles, A Cloud does not put out the sun.  
 
You will have an easier time understanding this if you have not heard one of the earlier episodes describing the Barrier of fear or as we have come to describe it: the red donut.  Episode 5 goes with this episode or Episode 1 would do the trick.  
 
Also, be alert to the fact that I am standing next to a drawing of this red donut, which represents the ego and the illusion of the world placed on top of God.   So I am constantly referring to “this‿ and “in there‿ which, by context you should be able to discern as either the donut or God.  
 
In this episode we dig deeper into spiritual techniques, time, the process of awakening, well-  let me play the preview quotes now and you can get an idea of what’s in this pod.  Directly after the preview quotes, this discussion begins.  Namaste.  

Episode 6  Return of the Red Donut 2

A Course in Miracles is a modern spiritual masterpiece, often quoted by Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, and Wayne Dyer.  It's a big book, 1200 pages.  But what does it say?  In this lively, discussion-based podcast, we created the fast and fun "Red Donut" method which continually evolves. It simplifies A Course in Miracles.  To further simplify, we also offer video podcasts.  The visuals save alot of time! 

Philip also posts here in iTunes live yoga classes from his Live Love Teach Yoga Teacher Training School.

Episode 31  The Power of Belief- Ice Cream and Sugar Pills

We look again at what is valuable and what is of no value at all in relationships.


Episode 30  To Die a Thousand Deaths?

Episode 29 is about falling in love under the ego spell, how that works out,  and how we wake up.  

In essence, we make the mistake of looking to another person to complete us.  The course teaches that we are already complete and need only remember this to awaken.  What this means is, instead of looking to our loved one to make us feel whole, save, complete and perfect, we look to God, the eternal, the unchanging, the unchangeable, our true identity.  

The Holy Spirit coaches us on how to do this.  In short, we learn to value most our relationship to God.  Only then do all our other relationships (to people, things, circumstances) come into alignment.  


Episode 29  Complete me, dammit!

What we might learn from the BP diaster. "Projection MAKES perception, and you CANNOT see beyond it.... God calls you and you do not hear, for you are preoccupied with your own voice." "...Projection makes perception; the world you see is what you GAVE it, nothing more than that. But, though it is no more than that, it is not less. Therefore, to you, it is important. It is the witness to your state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but will to change your mind ABOUT the world. Perception is a RESULT, and not a cause. And that is why order of miracles is meaningless. Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy. Nothing perceived without it means anything. And where there is no meaning, there is chaos. Damnation is your judgment on YOURSELF. And this you WILL project upon the world. See it as damned, and all you see is what you did to hurt the Son of God. If you behold disaster and catastrophe, you tried to crucify him. If you see holiness and hope, you joined the Will of God to set him free. There is no choice that lies between these two decisions. And you will see the witness to the choice you made, and learn from this to RECOGNIZE the one you made. The world you see but shows you how much joy YOU have allowed yourself to see in you, and to accept as YOURS. And, if this IS its meaning, then the power to GIVE it joy MUST lie WITHIN you."  

Episode 34  I HATE BP

Second installment from the Santa Fe Tapes.  Funny, irreverent discussion.  New author Carrie Triffet, with authors Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira, discusses on her her path from Buddhism to  ACIM, and her new book on the Course, Long Time No See.
