Opening ACIM Quote:"If you knew Who walks beside you on the way that you have chosen, fear would be impossible." (ACIM, T-18.III.3:2)Today's Guest:Tatjana Fernandez joins Tam and Matt to share a heartwarming forgiveness with her Father.Mentioned in this Episode:A quote attributed to Ram Dass: “If you think you’re enlightened, go spend a week with your family.”Poem By Max Ehrman: This is the original text from the book where Desiderata was first published."Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy." https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.htmlThink your Forgiveness Story Could Inspire Miracle Voices Listeners?

ACIM Quote:"In my defenselessness my safety lies. 1. You who feel threatened by this changing world, its twists of fortune and its bitter jests, its brief relationships and all the “gifts” it merely lends to take away again; attend this lesson well. ²The world provides no safety. ³It is rooted in attack, and all its “gifts” of seeming safety are illusory deceptions. ⁴It attacks, and then attacks again. ⁵No peace of mind is possible where danger threatens thus."

Keith Kavanagh and Celina Granato sit down for an integrative fireside conversation on A Course in Miracles.Anchored in the Course’s central question—“What is it for?”—this episode invites you to look beyond appearances and address the root of suffering as the Course defines it: not the world, not circumstances, but what we take ourselves to be.What to expectThe Purpose of the Course: Forgiveness (without Story)A clear, uncompromising exploration of how forgiveness heals the mind by allowing emotions to be felt without narrative.Awakening to the Peace of GodHow the world was made to hide guilt—and how the Holy Spirit re-purposes the world for healing, revealing a peace the world can’t touch.From Metaphysics to Daily PracticeConcrete insight into how forgiveness is applied “in real time” in relationships and everyday life.This conversation offers a direct look at forgiveness as a quiet, powerful undoing of guilt through awareness and non-judgment—bringing a gentle return to purpose and the remembering of the one Identity we share.Connect with Keith Kavanagh: https://www.acimwithkeith.comFeature originally aired: 1/29/2026Music: Swaying Silhouettes by Nathan MooreFind More "Conversations on Course" here: https://www.youtube.com/@FoundationforInnerPeace/search?query=conversations%20on%20courseThe Foundation for Inner Peace does not endorse any individual interpretation of “A Course in Miracles.” We aim to provide a space for open discussion and exploration of its teachings.

(ACIM, T-4.III.1:12-13)Notable Quote From Today's Guest:"So when we decide not to fight and we're going to a truce, that's not peace, because we're just saying that I'm gonna prepare, I'm gonna hold on to these things so that I can use these weapons at a later time, against my husband, against my friends, against my family.So true peace is to let go of all those imaginary weapons.” - CarlosToday's Guest:Tam and Matt are joined by Today's guest, Carlos.

(ACIM, T-25.III.6:1-8)
