Exploring A Course in Miracles – Détails, épisodes et analyse

A Course in Miracles contains a beautiful picture of what it is to be a parent. The Course speaks of parents as being in service of the spiritual development of children, with the major themes of instilling wisdom, providing emotional, and physical safety, and love. If we do this well, we can deposit what the Course calls a "reserve of strength" into the hearts of our children that can both prepare them for and repair them from the damage inflicted by this world. If you're interested in what the Course teaches on the topic of parenting, you won't want to miss this Sunday Gathering sermon from Emily Perry.

We’ve all been in relationships that start out truly harmonious and mutually supportive. You and the other person are committed to the same goals and that feeling of magic connection is there. Next thing you know, it all slowly starts to die or shatters completely. How are we routinely in this place where relationships that begin with so much potential end so poorly? While there are an infinite number of ways to approach this topic from a Course perspective, in our Sunday Gathering sermon Emily Perry answers this question by sharing the one thing that will kill it every time.

A Course in Miracles contains 325 references to gratitude and thanks. Circle founder Robert Perry has compiled these references, pulled out the main themes and what we are left with is a truly unique and loving approach to practicing gratitude.

In this episode of Exploring a Course in Miracles, Robert and Executive Director Emily Bennington take a closer look at these teachings that offer us practical guidance on what the Course says it really means to be grateful.

When it comes to spirituality, so much of the focus is on how we ourselves can benefit. Does this practice bring us peace, are we feeling healthier and more motivated, etc.

As students of A Course in Miracles, we all have personal goals we hope to achieve through this path, but have we ever stopped to consider what the Course’s goals may be? Have we ever wondered whether the Course itself has a purpose to achieve in the world and how we can help it get there?

At the Circle of Atonement, we hold a vision for the Course that is based on guidance Helen Schucman received just a few months before the book was originally published. In this video, Circle founder Robert Perry and executive director Emily Bennington share this guidance as well as the Circle’s plans for 2022. If you’d like to learn more about our vision for the Circle and the Course, we invite you to visit www.circleofa.org/vision.

A Course in Miracles famously says “Seek not to change the world” and even declares “There is no world!” What, then, do we do as Course students about trying to save and heal the world? This question came vividly to the fore when bestselling author and Course teacher Marianne Williamson ran for President of the United States in 2019 and continues to strike a chord to this day.

Within the Course community, some students see involvement in the world as an abandonment of Course principles while others feel it is an extension of them. But what does the Course itself teach? In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Circle of Atonement founder Robert Perry and executive director Emily Bennington discuss this topic with Marianne herself.

A Course in Miracles is a sacred text. Any edits or changes of any kind are not done so lightly. And so, the addition of the lost section, The Journey into Fear, is a significant thing and it's one we are excited to share with you.

In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, join Circle founder Robert Perry and executive director Emily Bennington for a lively discussion on not only this new section of the Complete and Annotated Edition of A Course in Miracles (CE) but also on a discovery Robert has recently made. Within the journals Course co-scribe Bill Thetford kept in 1966, there are connections with this new material.

In the early weeks of the Course’s dictation, Helen Schucman received three pieces of guidance about whether her co-scribe Bill Thetford should get a flu shot. At the time, there was even the possibility of the flu becoming an epidemic. Today, with the coronavirus pandemic continuing into its second year, the beauty of this guidance is that we have Jesus directly addressing how to respond to a situation that is surprisingly close to our own.

In this podcast, Circle founder Robert Perry and executive director Emily Bennington cover the guidance Helen received as well as addressing some of the questions being raised within our community about how we can apply this guidance to the current pandemic.

A Course in Miracles Co-scribe Bill Thetford kept what appears to be a journal of Course application for two months—August and September—in 1966, just shy of a year from when A Course in Miracles began coming through (in October of 1965). The value of this journal is that it affords us a glimpse of what it looked like to Bill—and clearly to Helen Schucman to a degree as well—to apply the Course in daily life.

In this episode of our Exploring A Course in Miracles podcast, Robert Perry and Emily Bennington share 11 examples from Bill’s journal that give us a window into the inspiring ways in which he sought to practice the course. You can access a copy of Bill's journal at circleofa.org/bill.

As a close friend of A Course in Miracles co-scribe, the late Bill Thetford, Carol Howe authored an intimate account of Bill’s life entitled, Never Forget To Laugh: Personal Recollections of Bill Thetford, Co-Scribe of A Course In Miracles (https://amzn.to/3qD1pi5 - affiliate link).

An elder within the ACIM community, Carol is still actively teaching ACIM, and in this fascinating conversation with Robert Perry and Emily Bennington, she offers insights into Bill's life and practice, as well as the relationship with Helen Schucman which was so fundamental to the Course's origin.
