In the previous episode of this series, Robert and Emily talked about the Course’s radical view of war—that, rather than good or evil, war is simply senseless. But knowing this is merely a starting point. What we really need to know is how we ourselves should respond...

What does A Course in Miracles have to say about war? Does it even address the subject? In fact, the Course contains over a hundred references to war and battle, along with many depictions of warfare and weaponry. In addition, there are hidden references to two wars...

Forming new habits sounds like a very mundane issue, hardly one we expect to see in the pages of A Course in Miracles, yet the Course mentions “habit” or “habits” seventeen times. Out of these references, a fascinating pattern emerges of why we need new habits, what...

Inequality may seem like a strictly social issue, far from the concerns of the spiritual path. Yet according to A Course in Miracles, the desire and attempt to be unequal—above others—is at the very center of the ego. It was the root of the separation and even now it...

The Course tells us that its goal is true perception, which it also calls Christ’s vision, or usually just vision. All our learning, all our study and practice, all our forgiveness, all our giving of miracles, then, is meant to bring us to the point where we see with...

How we view God colors how we view everything. If we see an angry God, we will always be looking over our shoulder waiting for Him to catch up with us. If we see a remote, indifferent God, we will always feel cast adrift in the open ocean. But what if we only saw a...

The Text of A Course in Miracles includes two words that have puzzled students since the book was originally published. Those two words are “our creations” and, while the Course calls them “our joy” and “our treasure”, most of us are left wondering: what exactly are...

Everywhere we look there are tragedies playing out around the globe and it’s tempting to wonder “where is God” when faced with it all. How much does He know about our suffering and how involved is He in the pain that is so much a part of our everyday life? In this...
