Making Relationship Work with A Course in Miracles (Sunday Gathering Sermon)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- We’ve all been in relationships that start out truly harmonious and mutually supportive. You and the other person are committed to the same goals and that feeling of magic connection is there. Next thing you know, it all slowly starts to die or shatters completely. How are we routinely in this place where relationships that begin with so much potential end so poorly? While there are an infinite number of ways to approach this topic from a Course perspective, in our Sunday Gathering sermon Emily Perry answers this question by sharing the one thing that will kill it every time.

Brilliant! Thank you, Emily (and Robert).
Thank you for this … you’ve explained everything that is happening to me right now… I now publicly renounce the ego’s voice and accept the voice of the Holy Spirit
This is a wonderful vid, thank you! I felt so peaceful at the end.
Emily thank you… these teachings have explained and exposed the horrible ego that dominates my mind. It’s so prophetic
I had to force myself to become extroverted on command because I couldn't talk to people. I was wondering: "Why did I struggle with socializing?" And I realized that there's something deeper than just talking to people. I discovered that socializing interferes with my highest values. Socializing betrays being my authentic self; it interferes with original thinking, and it takes me further away from the truth - which is one of my highest values. Socialization introduces pressure on me to conform to the values of the people I'm talking with, and to get mired in group think. I can talk to people only if I'm not authentic. Has anyone experienced this? Can I do something about it?
And when I socialize with people, I must do it consciously. I feel like I'm drained of mental energy.
Agreed 100%…it just means we are the ones who need to interact with peope to show everyone what egoless interactions can look like & more of what we all need to be! That is how you can share your light in hopes to reflect in more positive ways! You keep being you in their presence minus your ego! It will eventually rub off on all and encourage unity, not separation. Perhaps you & I are one of the “chosen” ones? (Without getting into our egos about it, of course😉lol) Somebody has to lead the “mass”!😂
That was beautiful!
I watched the Gratitude Workshop last week!
The part where you spoke about being grateful for moments of others being in their ego-so we then could be grateful for moments to show compassion - really lightened up something in me.
Thank you!
Wow!! Can’t even tell you how relevant this is for me right now! I spent the whole weekend in Phase 1, waging war in my mind, assuming the relationship to be over. When you spoke about Phase 2, I could feel myself entering it. Listening to you describe Phase 4, I could instantly see the loving actions to take. This has been truly helpful ❤
Amazing so on point! It’s all about getting into right relationship with Jesus & ourselves where we are all one🤞🙏💜😇Thank you Thank you Thank you!😘this really speaks to where I’m @ & where I need to be next !😘May God’s will be done
Right on, so difficult to practice. Thanks for taking it apart and giving such clarity to the topic. It gives hope in desiring to reach that high bar. I will be listening to the last half of this podcast repeatedly to help me in my practice and to remind me of what I need to do.
Thank you and May God bless your work.
Thank you Emily and Robert❤
So beautiful Emily - truly inspired 💖
Thank you Emily. So helpful to break it down the way you did. I will practice phase 4 when I meet with my sister with whom there is much conflict right now. I appreciate the guidance.
Beautiful! Thank you. ❤❤
I look forward to being in stage 4 more consistently in all relationships not just romantic ones. Thank you!

Wow! Thank you Emily. You described the current ending of my 36 year long marriage to a "T". I will ask my wife to watch your video.
Emily , I can't thankyou enough for your dedication , conviction and hard work and your beautiful heart , thankyou ❤️
✋️🤟
Thank you for being a blessing to the world… I’ve been heading to hell without realizing it… and this video has made me realize that how the ego has dominated me… I need help… please help me Emily I truly mean this
Do you have a copy of the Course? That would be a very good place to start. ♥️
Yes I do … a black copy with white beads
@@FULLS2S We have many videos here and a free community at community.circleofa.org if you’d like to learn more about the Course and how it can help. Unfortunately we don’t offer counseling programs as yet but just going deeper into the teachings would certainly help. ♥️
Emily; I was wondering if you could possibly do a podcast on “The Face of Christ” & what it really means when ACIM makes references about seeing the Face of Christ on everyone. My wife keeps asking about it as she struggles with the concept. Do you think you could address that sometime in the future? Thanks so much Emily for the work you do! Truly inspiring..!!
Hi Ruben! We’ll add it to the list but just in the meantime…to see “the face of Christ” in the Course means that we are seeing others as who they truly are as God created them….untouched by anything the body’s eyes can perceive. Also, here’s what Christ means in the Course. It’s not Jesus - it’s….
· Christ is God’s Son as He created Him.
· He is the Self we share, uniting us with one another and with God as well.
· Christ is the link that keeps you one with God, and guarantees the separation is no more than an illusion of despair·
Your mind is part of His, and His of yours.
· He remains untouched by anything the body’s eyes perceive.
In the Workbook there is also a section called What is the Christ? I would recommend reading that as well. ♥️ - Emily xx
Emily, how do you interpret the Course perspective on chronic familial abuse…most specifically verbal and emotional. With a person in deep denial hiding behind the church, with passive aggressive psychotic bullying on the side. And brings children into it. “Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists” has been helpful but the abuse always resurfaces. So communicating at all with this person doesn’t seem in the highest and best for either. What does the Course say about going “no contact”?
Krista - I’m very sorry to hear you’re going through this painful situation. Your question deserves far more of a detailed response than this forum allows, but I’ll just say that the Course is not asking us to suffer abuse while thinking it isn’t real. Please take care of your physical safety and the safety of your children and if that means no contact then that’s what it means. The forgiveness work is vital but long history teaches that it’s aided in many cases by distance from those we are trying to forgive. We did a podcast recently on boundaries that addressed this. I’ll post the link below and also add you and your family to our prayer list. 🙏♥️ - Emily

@@CircleOfAtonement Emily, thank you for your thoughtful response and prayers. I will listen to the podcast. 🙏❤️
This video made me feel uncomfortable..........Thank you 🥰🙏
Thank you for this. You had me for the first three phases but when you started phase four, you lost me. I would like to see a modelling of how to be in this phase while expressing your point of view, etc. It seemed like you were saying that we must give up all of our needs and feelings and just do everything for the other person. Surely there must be a way that we can express ourselves while listening to the Holy Spirit. The way you phrased it at first seemed to me to be total self-abnegation and sacrifice and I don't think that's the answer
I addressed that by saying: This doesn’t mean that you don’t put forward the truth as you see it. It doesn’t mean that you cede points that are valid or that you don’t voice disagreement. But it does mean that you don’t try to overpower others with judgment or argument and try to force them into seeing how wrong they are. You can still put forward your points, but you’ll know you’re listening to the Holy Spirit’s Voice when you recognize that your main point is love. And, of course, if you can do that, they will know you are on their side. They will feel safe. And, feeling safe, they will be far more open to what you have to say. - Emily
Could I make a gentle & loving suggestion without triggering you?
@@chriscottone2566 Sure thing.
We always have free will & if we feel an in”spirit”ed need to share an opinion, advice or a strong recommendation we can do so from a place of love as I have done with you for example😇asking permission is a good place to start I feel? Does any of that resonate for you?
This is soooo great and so helpful in understanding so much! Thank you, thank you!!💖
