ACIM Speaks Podcast
Episode 26
The Undoing

This is the first in a series on the Atonement, The Undoing. What is the Atonement? What does it mean to us? I start with the language and some of the basic ideas in the Course and conclude this episode with "How to Decide with God."

All your past, except its beauty, is gone,
and nothing is left except a blessing.

The passage, Decide for God, can be found here: The Undoing - Decide with God.

ACIM Speaks Podcast on Forgiveness
Episode 21

Forgiveness brings peace of mind and improved health. This is not wishful thinking, but the claim of George Vaillant, a scientist who has studied "how to live well" for more than 40 years. But he also notes that, if you ask someone to forgive, their blood pressure rises. But, having forgiven, the goal is met. And the goal is Peace.

ACIM Speaks podcast for the New Year 2010

A brief podcast for the New Year from the text of A Course in Miracles and a clip of Don Rickles, recorded in 1968 (I said 1969 in the podcast, apologies for that). The clip was how he ended his live shows.

ACIM Speaks - The Christmas Podcast

This is the Christmas podcast from ACIM Speaks. Whether you celebrate or observe Christmas or any other marker this season, whether the words used in A Course in Miracles have meaning for you, or do not - you can replace the words with words or symbols that resonate with you - the message of the Course will be the same.

The Voice of the Course once told Helen that she was being given charge of "one way" to God. The way, the method, or the path you choose is up to you, but the end of the journey is the same.

Helen did ask, "Why me?" And was told, "Because I knew you would do it." Some have said that Helen did not embrace the message of the Course, but she knew the message of the Course very well. She taught the message and mentored the first "students" of the Course. Helen's story is very interesting and more about her story will come to us in time.

When I first thought about doing this Christmas podcast, I thought I would read only a couple of the poetic passages in the Course that mention Christmas. But I cannot give only the passages that everyone knows, and has heard, without the context. I believe that mashups can be made from different sections of the Course because the message is consistent. But various quotes alone make the Course sound glib, and that is not my intention. In reading over the selections for this podcast, it is clear that they follow gracefully from the earlier two podcasts on the season of Christmas and the Atonement.

To see the text from the readings, check Selections and Mini-Chapters from the text of A Course in Miracles. The text from this podcast will be online over the next few days, in an effort to help us to remember the message.

The next ACIM Speaks podcast will be one for the New Year.

ACIM Speaks Podcast - Lord, Here I Am

Apologies for taking so long to get this podcast episode up. While I was traveling, I recorded, edited, and published two episodes, but adjusting and getting settled in has taken longer.

This ACIM Speaks episode is on the role of teachers, healers, professors, and miracle workers–terms A Course in Miracles uses interchangeably. Bill Thetford was ever the reluctant professor and much of the discussion was originally for him. It became the section in the text, "Special Principles for Miracle Workers."

The next episode will be a brief podcast reading of passage from the text suitable for Thanksgiving Grace.
