In this episode of the ACIM Book Club, host Alison Anton focuses on the Course's interpretation of the separation, contrasting it with the traditional biblical story of the fall. The separation is framed as a mental state, emphasizing that the separation and the fears associated with it are ultimately occurring within a dream. The episode also covers the Course's perspective on projection and miscreation, and the role of the Atonement in realizing that these errors never really occurred. Viewers are encouraged to reflect on their own perceptions of the fall and how A Course in Miracles’ teachings can aid in healing the false belief that they are “fallen”. This video is a commentary on section two of Chapter 2 from 'A Course in Miracles,' titled 'The Cause of Separation.'
