In this special Ask Us Anything episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily respond to real questions submitted by members of our Course Companions community.
In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore questions such as:
- If the world is ultimately an illusion, how should we understand injustice and suffering?
- What responsibility do we have for our behavior toward others?
- Can a holy relationship become special?
- How much responsibility do we carry for healing a difficult relationship?
- What does the Course say about self-esteem, people-pleasing, and childhood trauma?
- How can we see the innocence of political leaders who appear to be causing harm?
- Does the Course have a view on diet and nutrition?
- Why do many Course students hesitate to tell others they study A Course in Miracles?
- Where did the “tiny mad idea” come from?
- Can we communicate with loved ones who have passed on?
- Why is guidance sometimes so difficult to hear?
- How should we approach legal disputes, self-defense, war, and military service?
- Is there a connection between thoughts and illness?
- And yes—we even answer questions about our own relationship and how we navigate everyday disagreements.
Whether you’re a longtime student or just beginning your journey with the Course, this episode offers practical wisdom, thoughtful reflection, and honest conversation about applying these teachings to real life.
