A Course in Miracles with MiraclesOne

In this honest and practical reflection, Rev. Paul explores the theme of the ego’s story and the belief in separation through the reading “The Cloud of Guilt” from Chapter 13 of A Course in Miracles. Sharing two very relatable personal experiences, he looks at how easily we can be drawn into criticizing or condemning others, especially in casual conversations that seem harmless. What feels like connection in the moment can actually reinforce guilt, projection, and the ego’s cycle of separation. Rev. Paul reflects on how condemnation keeps us trapped in the cloud of guilt, while awareness and willingness open the way to healing. With humility and sincerity, he reminds us that when we condemn a brother, we are condemning ourselves, and blocking our awareness of the light within. This talk is a gentle but powerful invitation to choose again, to pause, and to remember that the light in one awakens it in all.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-course-in-miracles-with-miraclesone--199993/support.

In this reflection, Rev. Paul shares a very real and relatable experience that becomes a powerful teaching moment from A Course in Miracles.Beginning with the February theme, Hero of the Dream, he explores what it means to recognize ourselves as the dreamer rather than the dream. Drawing from Lesson 32, I have invented the world I see, and Chapter 21, Section II, The Responsibility for Sight, Rev. Paul reflects on how quickly the ego can choose anger, how easily peace can feel disrupted, and how gently the Holy Spirit offers another way to see. Through personal insight and Course-based guidance, he reminds us that when our peace is disturbed, it is not a punishment but an invitation to pause, step back, and choose again.This talk is an exploration of responsibility, forgiveness, and the simple yet profound choice we are offered again and again. Do we want pain, or do we want peace? --- Your Donation Helps to Support our Ministry! Thank you for your generosity so we may continue to bring these videos to you.

Rev. Paul has for you a video on Sunday's theme of "Living on Purpose" for Week 2 of August's theme.  Please be aware that in the future, there may be times when he will be unable to produce a video for the week's readings due to his schedule. That is why you may see gaps in presentations, like no video for last week for Week 1. Thank you for understanding. Last week, we accepted the truth that we are the light of the world. This week, we explore what that light does. The Course tells us: Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world. That’s a powerful reminder—your light isn’t passive. It’s radiant. Transformative. It brings peace where there was pain, understanding where there was conflict, and love where there was fear. Forgiveness doesn’t mean condoning harm. It means choosing healing over hurt. It means seeing past the ego’s story and remembering the truth in everyone. When you choose forgiveness, you fulfill your spiritual purpose. You don’t need to do more or become someone else. You simply allow light to flow through you—naturally, gently, and with love. Our meditation for this week helps us to explore further. Link available in the study guide. Week 2 Readings: Living On Purpose Key Idea: When you remember your true nature as light, your life becomes a channel of purpose—extending love, peace, and healing wherever you go. Readings: •    Lesson 62: Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world •    Chapter 18, Section VII: I Need Do Nothing Join us on Sundays at 10:00 am Central Time if you can on Zoom. Be sure to work with these readings with our monthly optional study guide with each week's guided meditations. The guide includes points to consider, reflection and journal prompts!

We share with you Rev. Paul's talk on Week 4 of July's theme. When we look through the lens of ego, the world appears filled with lack, attack, and separation. But the Course gently reminds us that what we see with the body’s eyes is not reality—it is perception distorted by judgment. Access the following readings. • Lesson 93: "Light and joy and peace abide in me." • Chapter 13, Section IX: The Cloud of Guilt--- Your Donation Helps to Support our Ministry!

What if the one thing we resist the most is the one thing that holds the key to our freedom? Forgiveness, in the eyes of the world, can seem like giving in—letting others off the hook. But in the Course’s teaching, forgiveness is the most powerful tool for liberation. Lesson 121 tells us, "Forgiveness is the key to happiness." Why? Because as long as we hold grievances, we’re locked into a cycle of pain. We perceive through the lens of hurt, and the world mirrors back that suffering. But forgiveness dissolves the veil. It unshackles us from the past. It reveals that no one is truly guilty—that what we perceived as attack was actually a call for love. Chapter 30 puts it plainly: "Forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has not occurred." This isn’t denial. It’s the correction of perception. We’re choosing to see with the Holy Spirit’s vision instead of the ego’s. Forgiveness doesn’t change the past—it changes how we see it. And in doing so, it transforms our experience of the present. Forgiveness is how we remember who we really are. And it is how we set others free, too. The Guided Meditation that was shared with the group was "The Key to Freedom." Available in our study guide. Readings: •    Lesson 68: "Love holds no grievances." •    Chapter 5, Section V: The Ego's Use of Guilt --- Your Donation Helps to Support our Ministry!
