Are You Afraid of the Light?

from A Course in Miracles · host Jennifer Hadley

Jennifer Hadley dives into A Course in Miracles Chapter 13, Section 6 - "Finding the Present" - exploring why we struggle to see people as they are now instead of through the lens of our past experiences with them. She unpacks the Course's teaching that "the past can cast no shadow to darken the present unless you are afraid of the light," and gets vulnerably honest about her own edge: the stickiness she feels when someone hurts the people she loves. Jennifer distinguishes between being present with someone without judgment and being naive - you don't have to give them access to your bank account to practice seeing their Christ nature. She shares how intellectual understanding of spiritual teachings isn't enough; we must actually live and apply them moment by moment. The episode closes with an invitation to free forgiveness workshops at PowerofLoveMinistry.net and the liberating truth that when we see our brothers and sisters without their past, we are released too.
