Description
Understand and apply the deeper meaning of A Course in Miracles, that best friends of over 30 years, Amy and Chris have come to learn and love. As friends who have supported each other in their journeys to better themselves, they developed a ritual of meeting for beach walks where they would share the challenges they faced during the first leg, and then use the Course to gain perspective during the second. They have explored many teachings in their spiritual journeys and found the knowledge from A Course in Miracles to bring them the most peace, clarity, and a return to love. They are drawn to its non denominational and all-inclusive nature, and always arrive back to one simple truth no matter what challenge they face. In this fun, but deep podcast, they lighten up the heaviness of the Course and share simple transformations so that you too can experience the same joy, peace and spiritual manifestations it has brought them.

The "holy ego" is a trap, where it seems spiritual and is about keeping the peace, but isn't. It's ridden with guilt, one upping, and tolerating others. This perpetuates fear and judgement. Whereas the true Self, our spirit self, does not take the bait and knows none of the drama means anything at the end of the day, and how that is true Forgiveness for the sake of peace. Tune into this week's episode to learn how loving ourselves is the ultimate way to let go of others grievances. The players showing up are just a reflection of our minds. Learning to forgive has value at all levels, but it will be a happy day when we can really Forgive from a place that knows this is all a projection, that we are all innocent, and none of this suffering has any part in reality.
