Maybe the forgiveness you thought you'd finished keeps circling back. Maybe the guilt of falling short has become its own weight. Jennifer Hadley sits down with author and teacher Michael Mirdad for a conversation that gently questions what ACIM is actually asking of us, and whether you've been carrying a burden it never handed you. What if effort was never the point? To learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠A Course in Miracles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Powerofloveministry.net⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Spiritual students who who pour themselves out for everyone else, then feel a flicker of guilt the moment they pause to care for themselves. They say yes when they’re already running low. When they finally rest, a quiet voice calls it selfish. For anyone walking a spiritual path, the line between devotion and depletion blurs fast, and most of us were taught to honor the wrong side of it. Joined by author Alan Cohen, Jennifer Hadley turns to A Course in Miracles to question a belief so familiar that ACIM students rarely notice they're living by it.

Chapter 19 of the Manual for Teachers offers a definition that has nothing to do with punishment, fairness, or getting even — and it quietly reorders what forgiveness requires of us. What IS justice, then? Why does forgiveness depend on it? And what's the one word we use without thinking that may be silently blocking every forgiveness attempt we've ever made? A Course in Miracles has an answer most of us haven't considered. To learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠A Course in Miracles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Powerofloveministry.net⁠⁠⁠⁠.

What if every time you blamed someone, you were actually locking in the very pain you wanted to escape? In this episode, Jennifer Hadley explores Chapter 7, Section 8 of A Course in Miracles - "The Unbelievable Belief" - and unpacks a fundamental law of the mind: without projection, there can be no anger; without extension, there can be no love. Jennifer confesses that anger used to be her favorite emotion - and explains how she came to see that projection is always an expression of fear. Using vivid examples from insecurity to homophobia, she reveals why we attack in others what we hate in ourselves. She also shares why taking total responsibility - with zero blame - is the counterintuitive way out of suffering. If you've been stuck in conflict and can't figure out why, this episode might show you exactly where it's coming from.
