This episode delves into the profound and transformative teachings of A Course in Miracles - taking full responsibility for our state of mind. It brings clarity to the basics of its teachings and creates a foundation for their practical application. The only reason we find A Course in Miracles difficult to understand is that we aren’t clear about this practice. However, in this episode you will find out that the Course is very simple, though it will surely challenge the ego. For this very reason, its teachings bring about the total transformation of our mind, our perception of the world and ourselves, and lead us to the experience of true innocence. Miracles are the natural result of their application.

Nana reads parts of the chapter 21, section II (Responsibility for sight), talks about the workbook lesson 31 (I am not the victim of the world I see), and additionally uses the paragraph 3 from the Manual for Teachers, section 8 (How Can Perception of Order of Difficulties Can Be Avoided).

This talk is one of the sessions given during the 9-day in-person retreat in Germany, Karlsruhe (January 31st through February 8th, 2026). It includes English to German translation.
