From Words to Experience in A Course in Miracles

Exploring A Course in Miracles

In contemporary spirituality, we are told to "go beyond concepts and words" to a more direct connection with God. We are told not to be too "in our heads" because thinking blocks spiritual experience. These are very popular teachings, but how should we view these ideas as students of A Course in Miracles, especially given that the Course is 2,000 pages of words? Not surprisingly, the Course has its own answer to this question - namely, it's is asking us to use words as a way to go beyond words. To put it another way, we're meant to use words as the vehicle to reach experience and, in this episode, Robert and Emily share what that means and how the Course asks us to do it.
