This episode concludes the reading and discussion of paragraphs 6-7 of the section Error and the Ego, in which the Course puts a new twist on the old Biblical saying, "Many are called but few are chosen."

This episode begins with correcting something I said in the previous episode, which leads to addressing the idea that ACIM came into being in 1965 because of a "celestial speed-up." I then continue with the reading and discussion paragraphs 4-5 of the section Error and the Ego.

In this episode, I read and discuss paragraphs 1-3of the section Error and the Ego, where the idea of "consciousness" (a term rarely used in ACIM) is mentioned as the realm of separation.

This episode concludes the reading and discussion of the section Perception versus Knowledge (paragraphs 5-7). It is only through perceiving our brother correctly that we come to know God. 

In this episode, I read and discuss paragraphs 1-4 of the section Perception versus Knowledge, which defines and contrasts these two terms. Perception comes from the realm of duality or the dream of separation, whereas Knowledge is synonymous with nonduality or oneness. 

This episode concludes the reading and discussion of paragraphs 3-6 of the section Miracles as True Perception.

Continuing with the theme of the body from the previous episode (029), this episode is a deviation from reading the Course and is an audio excerpt from my book. The chapter is called Body, and contains the Course's view of the body, as well as my hypnotherapeutic (and other) points of view. (The previous chapter in the book is Bad Habits and is excerpted in episode 016.)

In the first half of this episode, I answer a listener's question about how to find balance between taking care of the body and knowing that the body is an illusion. The second half of this episode begins with the reading and discussion of paragraphs 1-2 of the section Miracles as True Perception .

This episode concludes the section Atonement without Sacrifice. I also discuss why the Course is repetitive with its themes. 

In this episode, I continue reading and discussing the section Atonement without Sacrifice, in which the Course gives a new interpretation to the old idea of religious sacrifice.
