59: What Does the Course Say About Animals and Nature?

Many students ask us what A Course in Miracles has to say about plants and animals?

If the world around us is an illusion, what does that mean for nature? Should we just ignore it?

We usually assume that humans have great worth and intelligence, but we don’t tend to grant that same assumption to plants and animals.

In light of this, when the Course talks about animals, plants, and even grains of sand and waves on the ocean, it offers us a surprisingly different perspective.

In this fascinating conversation, Robert Perry and Emily Bennington ask us to consider the concept of all living things being an honored part of the Sonship, and how this can help us heal a world that is in desperate need of healing.
