   ACIM | Why Deprogram Christian Terms in A Course in Miracles?

   Alison Anton of the ForgiveNest Podcast talks about how A Course in Miracles redefines, and even corrects, Christian terms. She discusses how traditional Christian terminology can be triggering due to historical misrepresentation and misuse, yet suggests ACIM helps to correct misunderstandings. She leads listeners through a visualization to deprogram (release resistance to) certain charged Christian words, outlining ACIM redefinitions of God (formless love), masculine pronouns (non-gendered spirit), Jesus/Christ (Christ in all), sin (a mistaken belief), and atonement (undoing errors through forgiveness), and points to the Circle of Atonement's Course glossary for more terms.

Publisher: Circle of Atonement. circleofa.org/glossary-of-terms (https://circleofa.org/glossary-of-terms) Changing learning patterns requires undoing the old ones. …Sometimes the new learning is the more important, and has to inhibit the old. It’s a form of correction. [CE T-1.24.5] All terms are potentially controversial, and those who seek controversy will find it. Yet those who seek clarification will find it as well. They must, however, be willing to overlook controversy, recognizing that it is a defense against truth in the form of a delaying maneuver. [CE C-In.2:1-3] The name of Jesus is the name of one who was a man, but saw the face of Christ in all his brothers and remembered God. So he became identified with Christ, a man no longer, but at one with God. The man was an illusion, for he seemed to be a separate being, walking by himself, within a body that appeared to hold his self from Self, as all illusions do. [CE C-4.2:1-3] Is he the Christ? Oh yes, along with you. Is he God’s only helper? No indeed. For Christ takes many forms with different names until their oneness can be recognized. [CE C-4.5:1-3] Walking with him is just as natural as walking with a brother whom you knew since you were born, for such indeed he is. [CE C-4.4:6] …what is out of accord must be undone. It may seem as if darkness must be dispelled before light can come in, but the truth is that darkness is dispelled by light. [CE T-1.24.4:3-4] “…acceptance of the Atonement places you in a position to realize that your own errors never really occurred.” [CE T-2.II.16:4]. This is a public episode.

   ACIM Meditation | How to Work with Pain and Emotion

   Alison Anton of the ForgiveNest Podcast presents a guided ACIM-based meditation to work with emotion, pain and reactions by bringing awareness into the body while remembering the body is not the self but an instrument for healing. The practice helps listeners consciously activate grief/sadness, anger/frustration, and finally a chosen area of physical pain, using a “mental story” to evoke the feeling and then dropping the narrative to focus on raw bodily sensation (location, texture, temperature, feeling). Participants are invited to notice underlying fear and guilt, take Jesus’ hand, and use Course-based statements, with options to pause if overwhelmed. Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:37 Body Awareness Basics 03:02 Opening Statement Practice 05:01 Grief and Sadness Exercise 12:08 Meet Fear with Jesus 15:43 Transition to Anger 17:29 Anger and Frustration Exercise 22:49 Choose Peace Instead 26:29 Physical Pain Exercise 34:31 Fear Behind the Pain 41:19 Closing and Encouragement Previous in this Series: Part 1: The Authority Problem - https://alisonanton.substack.com/p/acim-the-root-of-all-emotion-part (https://alisonanton.substack.com/p/acim-the-root-of-all-emotion-part) Part 2: Attack on the "Other" - https://alisonanton.substack.com/p/acim-the-root-of-emotion-pt-2-attack (https://alisonanton.substack.com/p/acim-the-root-of-emotion-pt-2-attack) Part 3: Fear is a Many Splintered Thing - https://alisonanton.substack.com/p/acim-the-root-of-emotion-pt-3-fear (https://alisonanton.substack.com/p/acim-the-root-of-emotion-pt-3-fear) Part 4: Facing Fear Without Disguise - Read the full transcript here: https://AlisonAnton.substack.com (https://AlisonAnton.substack.com) Podcast Category: Faith and Spirituality ACIM Quotes and Prayers: Note: Alison Anton uses the Complete and Annotated Edition (CE) of A Course in Miracles.

   ACIM | The Root of Emotion, Pt 4, Facing Fear Without Disguise

   https://AlisonAnton.substack.com - Alison Anton of the ForgiveNest Podcast outlines a guided meditation for working with emotions as a deeper application of ACIM lessons. She explains the “correction of fear” steps from A Course in Miracles to identify any afflicted emotion as fear. She then explains how separating the emotion from the thought that goes with it breaks an underlying cycle that keeps us in a reactionary state. The same process can be used for physical pain, and she notes a future deeper-dive program on these practices and Course-based forgiveness.
