The Formula for Physical Health According to A Course in Miracles (Exploring A Course in Miracles)
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 07. 2024
- There is a reason that a million voices are promising us greater physical health: We all want it and need it. What if the real road to health is something that we are not hearing from those million voices? A Course in Miracles has a teaching about health that runs through its pages, but it’s not what conventional doctors and alternative health practitioners are telling us. What is this teaching? How, according to the Course, can we enjoy glowing health, where our body is so immune that “It needs no complicated structures of defense, no health-inducing medicine, no care, and no concern at all”? Please join Robert and Emily as they explore this important and controversial topic.

"Let me be still and listen to the truth."
"Truth will correct all errors in my mind."
~Lessons 106 and 107.

Hey guys!
Being raised in a Christian Science home, I witnessed healings quite a bit.
Delighted to hear "Peace Pilgrim" !!!
We learned about her in church and to this day, a picture of her hangs in my livingroom.🙏
"I perceived the entirely self-centered life as not worth living.
If what you're doing will not benefit others besides yourself, it is not worth doing."
~ Peace Pilgrim ❤
Seeing "others" (images of bodies) as guilty is a projection of the ego, based on the illusory subconscious belief that we are guilty. Thank God we are not the humans we seem to be, and what seems to be true in dreams of guilt is not true. Only the Truth that makes happy (Who we really are) is true and real. Everyone is really our God Self.💗
This has completely changed my perception of healing. And it makes perfect sense.
I understand this, and because I understand this, I can understand why they killed Jesus. As a mother, my heart broke with the Parkland High School mass shooting. 17 precious souls were taken, by the hands of Nikolas Cruz. This was when my heart understood and I was flooded with a love for Nikolas Cruz, a young man who was broken, no family (he was in a foster home), as a mom, I prayed for him like I would if he was my son...or dare I say, loved him. I kept this to myself at the time because my (then) husband thought I was crazy. I'm sure I would have been hung on a cross by most if I shared these thoughts and feelings. I still pray for him, and now his brother, and the healing and forgiveness of all those involved. My heart breaks for the whole situation.
😢 that is a beautiful share , I feel similar for the young man who was bullied who attempted the assassination attempt on Trump
Emily and Robert, Yet again, you have provided inspiring and insightful Course perspectives. Many thanks. You make a great tag-team. Thanks for posting these on CZcams so that everyone has free access to your podcast content. We'll do our part by helping ensure this remains a positive forum for interaction.
EFT focuses on the negative impact of trapped, or stored negative emotions are responsible for about 90-95% of all illness, disease processes and injuries. Held negative emotions down regulate our immune systems. As a practitioner, that is what we focus on finding, then releasing it. I’m really enjoying learning all about ACIM. Thank you for these videos.
It might be easy to shrug your shoulders whenever you hear someone say “it’s all about mind over matter,” but sometimes, especially with medical research, that’s literally the case. The mind can be a powerful thing that helps your body heal through times of stress and duress, and in some cases, it can be powerful enough to cause what’s known as the placebo effect. As a nurse of 30 years, I have witnessed this daily
The Course is constantly surfing the edge of absolute and relative perspectives (as any great Spiritual work must). But this poses the highest level of difficulty for human minds to grasp and make use of. Therefore, I'm happy that both of you are offering your substantial knowledge to help us through these areas.
Yes, similar to Advaita Vedanta. Swami Sarvapriyananda on YT is doing the same, too much knowledge to gain but in the end truth is just so simple.
Totally agree. I think the fun or challenge is to build a bridge between both. When i did that my practice went to a whole othere level
If ACIM teaches what it claims, then why is there any need an extra videos to make it extra clear?
Love this deeper discussion, it’s helping me understand better. One big question my ego is screaming is, if guilt is the cause of body illness, what is a baby with an illness guilty of? Generational guilt? Does this allude to reincarnation?
Thank you so much for your channel!!!
Our SOUL purpose is to realize that LOVE is our SOUL purpose.
Wow. I am just speechless. It feels as if I understand what you explained in a deeper level, a knowing , a memory , but in my conscious mind it seems like a foreign language that I have never heard of. That is the best I could describe my current state of mind after listening to this podcast. Thank you for your service .
Thanks dear Robert and Emily for this! Soooo much looking forward to that healing Course, cannot wait 🙏🏻❤️
Surprised to hear Peace Pilgrim mentioned here. I heard of her 20 years back.
Teach me the right perception🎉
thank you. i loved to listen to you. In the end, i guess, it's not a question of being healthy, it's just being the love that we are. In essence, to meet us, to return to us, to our essence... love. Of course, this human experience - or animal, or vegetable, or material, for that matter - has the imprint of our own path, i guess; the travel, the way to get home, is our unique expression of that love, that search, maybe eternal search, to return home, where there is no separation.
And all expressions of love are ok, they are love, even if they have flaws. (Well maybe there are no flaws, just a path that we are riding, and we are all learning and of course, we fall down, we hurt ourselves and sometimes others. Being aware, raising our awareness, to know ourselves, understand our interactions, heal our fears... again love is the anwser.)
There is no one way to be that love (in the sense that we can get there, or be it, through inumerous paths)... but, or and, after all, there is one and only love. we are one love.
This podcast met me exactly when I was ready to hear it. Thank you 🙏🏻
Excellent topic
Thank you so much! The purpose of my body is to express God’s love! I give and receive God’s Love fully!! Thank you for this wonderful class
Really useful content---thanks! I did sign up for the upcoming course on healing, too. Attack, pleasure, pride---succinct summary of what not to do with one's body.
Soo looking forward to the course on healing!! Thank you soo much!!!
Dear Emily, thank you so much for your very helpful video. Without you, far too few viewers would know about the wonderful work you all, and explicitly you, do every day in front of and behind the scenes for the Circle. I'm looking forward the course to become a course-based Healer!
This is amazing, thank you so much 💜🙏
Thanks for this amazing podcast. Most grateful.

~ACIM Lesson 38 💗
“Masters of the Far East” series of books talk about these humans being immortal, our natural state if we choose to. Sin, sickness and death is of the ego.
I'm loving this....not done yet. But it's not pleasure that's the problem but how we use it. Why is pleasure anymore of an isolating experience than any other. If we didn't have pleasure in eating we wouldn't survive. Pleasure can be a joining not a separation. This seems sooo important. Everything used in accordance with the Holy spirits purpose! Ok..listening on. I'm so glad to have found you circle of A!
Very helpful insights! Thank you very much!
That we can't help but store up unconscious guilt when we think and act lovelessly (the various forms of attack) is a key point. The ego does not allow that part of its plan to reach awareness. Instead, it directs the mind to seek the cause everywhere but where it is.
This was truly helpful, thank you
Great contents around a sticky subject, what health means per the Course. I share Emily concerns about how people interrupted the Course words regarding health. Great couple interaction and great Circle of atonement direction.
Wanted to share my comment i left on Next Level Soul Podcast while Emily was on: " I couldn`t hear her answer to why we are here the first time i watched because of a helicopter passing by ;but even so; the hairs stood up on the back of my neck and i felt this surge of tingles up and down my body without audibly hearing her words. Awesome."
This is a wonderful presentation....very helpful to me. As a longtime Course student somehow I did pick up the idea, perhaps from some faulty teacher that the body was to be completely disregarded, that it was created by the ego from hate. Eek! Your perspective is much healthier than that.
Just luv how u both connected all the dots to our ultimate purpose in life…to give miracles and communications luv to others. Thank for for sharing your beautiful selves with us all. Ur making a difference.👍🙏❤️
I would love to health genetic disease of Lipedema! It is constant pain! You are correct as it becomes all focusing and makes life very difficult.
50:00 - So sane! Thank you Robert & Emily🙏❤
An illuminating and inspirational gem for going forward! Thank you so much for your ongoing enrichment of this community .
Fantastic! Thank you for this! 🙏❤️
This is s0 good and SO needed. Thank you!
That life expectancy average is distorted by including low birth mortality rates. Birth mortality is what improved not adult life span.
Took the words right out of my mouth 💯🎯

This is a difficult concept for me to grasp. Since studying the Course, I have seen how my life has changed positively, and I absolutely believe this sentiment of illness starting with the mind. And yet I am in physical pain every day with a severe case of rheumatoid arthritis, with major deformities in my hands. I have family members who are very self-serving with absolutely no illnesses to speak of. I am having a difficult time reconciling my illness when I see others living healthy, pain-free lives. To be clear, I don’t feel bitterness or resentment toward others who don’t have physical pain. I just need help understanding why I still have so much pain within my own body when I feel that my mind is so much healthier than it used to be. ❤
I’m sorry you’re in pain. RA is a very difficult diagnosis to live with and to treat well. Congrats to you that you have worked so much on your mental (mind) health and I’m sure that your quieter and calmer mind is helping reduce your inflammatory symptoms. Please don’t blame yourself if you’re not recovering completely. Keep asking the HSpirit to show you anything else that will point you in the direction to help your physical condition.
All the best ❤❤
Wow no mention of diet ie Keto or carnivore lll😊
Brilliant! So insightful 👏✌️❤️
You two are really great. I have been reading, studying, and making effort to put the teachings of ACIM into practice for years and I simply love how nicely you have presented this material. I will be subscribing to your Circle. Love & Peace Brother Vin
Wonderful! Welcome aboard! ♥️
Gulit is a love ender which is why if your cut off from the vibration of love....your body gets sick for love is the antidote to all HEALING ❤❤❤
Earlier today I listened to the latest episode of Lee Whiting's podcast. It's on one woman's "spiritually transformative experiences," but it might also be described as one beautiful example after another of a miracle-minded person at work, that is, living to help others. CZcams won't let me paste a link, but the title is Janice Goff: God Speaks thru Coincidence
I wanted to express my gratitude for the informative and enjoyable podcast. It has helped me gain a better understanding of this particular aspect of the course. I appreciate the effort you both put into creating such a valuable resource. Wishing you both a wonderful holiday season!
I'm willing to give it a try
This was really nice. Thank you so much.
Very inspiring indeed, big thanks!
Yes I am guided all day long to communicate love through my body to all humans and all animals. I communicate harmlessness and oneness with all beings in the Sonship by not attacking and murdering humans and animals through my thoughts and actions. I am guided by "Teach only love for that is what you are" that I leave no being I share this planet with out of my circle of atonement.
Dear Robert, can you please spell the name of the person, who is your "favorite example". I couldn't get it of your pronunciation (English is not my native language;)) Thank you!

@@MargaretReyesDempsey Thank you:)
Thank you so much.
Wow ! Thank you!
When we identify/think of ourselves as loving energy, energy doesn't get sick, etc....
Within JC's teaching that "we inherit the sins of our Fathers", does this mean we must be cognizant of our ancestral lineage and prepared to do the work of cleansing, purifying, and healing various egoist attributes or qualities from them? And in doing so, will we have not only healed ourselves, but our ancestors as well?
Thank you for a wonderful discussion and ACIM insights... I spent time years ago attending weekly ACIM presentations by Marianne Williamson at the Ebel Theater in LA. Still resonates to this day!
Hi there! The Course does teach that we can clean up our own lovelessness from the past - even past lifetimes - and that is good and healing work to do. It also teaches that, in doing so, we can atone for our mistakes and the unloving actions of others. It’s not concerned at all with “our ancestors” though. It wants everyone healed everywhere equally. Hope that helps!
All pent up emotions can trigger dieEASE... not just holding guilt- but shame, grief, sadness, hatred, anger, resentment, etc... Issues in the tissues! The Light energy coming from the sun transmitted into our food biophotonically will also raise the vibration of the vessel.. Our misaligned ego centered thoughts can be seen as pathological with the body storing toxic emotions in one feed back loop... The mind can be the key to happiness or bondage...🙏
Be Love in all ways. Maybe stop thinking of oneself as having a body, know oneself as Loving Energy....that serves Love
Just be Love everywhere and all-ways
Community and sharing and connecting..
Great content!
People can read all they want likely still chasing after accomplishment as a gage to their worthiness, but concepts will not perform the integration or reprogramming & alignment process🙏
Great video! Where can I learn more about Peace Pilgram? I've never heard of her and I've been studying the course for about 20 years. Thank You!💞
Hi Troy! There's lots of information about Peace Pilgrim online as well as a decent documentary o CZcams. Enjoy!
I prefer the word "arrogance" to "pride" in the context you are both using it.
Thank you so much for all your wisdom. Are you brother and sister?
No. We are married. ♥️
And that doesn't just go for the appearance of the body .... it also goes for touting one's opinions (aka politics).... the ego wants to be right 😁🤣
What about pride in what we know and our gifts expressed in pride?
Pride takes many different forms for sure!
How much "shopping for clothing" do we really need?
🎉😊❤😇🥰💋💤💥✌is the form for all
Physical health is only mental.
Sickness is anger projected upon the body!!
When the mind has remembered it is one with its source and with all things, the body will become perfect!!

Thank you, this was the first video I have ever seen from you. I made a lot of notes, as I am going through some health issues now, and a question arise - what is the technique to lift the conventional purposes we use the body for? Would it be spiritual practices? Thank you for the work you do!
What is source of quote: “There’s no measure of mental health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”?
That quote is attributed to Jiddu Krishnamurti.
How about inborn illnesses?
"We're not there yet"?? This is a journey without distanc to a goal that has never changed. We have never left "There"
That’s true. And we fell asleep and are on a journey to awake. It’s both.
"Life expectancy not the same as health expectancy"
Mother Teresa, St Farncus of Assisi... exemplars of this...
Why focus on the body at all? Why not focus on healing the mind instead?
In part because these bodies experience so much pain. But you’re right. In the Course it’s healing the mind that results in healing the body.
How about people WHO have problem with gender?
Hmmm illness is the shadow of guilt, ok and how about babies and children that are ill? What guilt do they have, having barely entered life???
The Course teaches that we have all been around a very long time, and that the same guilt that causes illness in the body brings the body into existence in the first place. In other words, our minds are very ancient even when our bodies are new.
@@CircleOfAtonement ive had the course for 3 years now and i've wonderded, does this actually / literally mean people develop cancer because they caused it themselves in their minds on some level?
Help others? To feel better?
Did Jesus get exercise, take supplements and adorn himself?
