Welcome back to MY - Alan Carroll, where we support you in building your mindfulness muscles and achieving conscious awareness. In this enlightening episode titled "MY_Bill Free," we dive deep into the transformative power of forgiveness and the teachings of A Course in Miracles with our esteemed guest, Bill Free.
With over 50 years on his spiritual journey, Bill shares his evolution from a "Jesus freak" deeply embedded in traditional Christian teachings to discovering the profound wisdom of A Course in Miracles. Together with our host, Alan Carroll, they explore how forgiveness—not as we traditionally understand it, but as recognizing that what you thought happened never did—can open our minds to truth and inner peace.
We'll also discuss Bill's transition from seeking truth in the Holy Land to embracing Eastern teachings like Advaita Vedanta and the insights of spiritual masters such as Ramana Maharshi and Yogananda. This episode promises to offer a rich tapestry of wisdom about releasing grievances, self-inquiry, and the power of choice in thought and vibration.
Join us as we unravel the foundational lessons of A Course in Miracles, focusing on dismantling conditioned thought systems and revealing the presence of love. Whether you're a curious seeker, a devoted follower, or somewhere in between, this conversation invites you to explore the potentials of spiritual growth and self-realization.
So, sit back, open your mind, and get ready to embark on a journey towards inner peace and a greater understanding of your true self. Let's begin!
This episode is a deep dive into:
🌟 Forgiveness as a Pathway to Truth: Bill Free emphasizes that forgiveness, according to A Course in Miracles, means recognizing that what one thought happened never actually did. This radical approach aims to open the mind to truth and remove obstacles to experiencing love's presence.
🌟 Mind Training with A Course in Miracles: The course is a comprehensive program with 365 daily lessons designed to dismantle conditioned thought systems and release from fear and worry. Lesson number 1 – realizing that nothing we see has any inherent meaning – sets the stage for a transformative journey towards conscious awareness.
