In this special Q&A episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry dive into the central teaching of the Course—forgiveness—and answer your questions about how to truly live it. What does the Course say about forgiveness? How do we forgive when we’re hurting, when others don’t change, or when we need to protect ourselves? Together, we explore:
- What Course-based forgiveness actually is (vs. conventional forgiveness),
- Why forgiveness is not spiritual bypassing Boundaries, abuse, and real-world relationships
- Forgiving without an apology—or even contact
- What to do with anger, grief, and fear
- Forgiving groups, the government, the world
- Forgiveness and codependency
- What it means to forgive the deceased, and much more
We also talk about why Course-based forgiveness isn’t just inner work—it’s about seeing others as truly innocent and extending love in response.
