ACIM | Why Deprogram Christian Terms in A Course in Miracles?

Alison Anton of the ForgiveNest Podcast talks about how A Course in Miracles redefines, and even corrects, Christian terms. She discusses how traditional Christian terminology can be triggering due to historical misrepresentation and misuse, yet suggests ACIM helps to correct misunderstandings. She leads listeners through a visualization to deprogram (release resistance to) certain charged Christian words, outlining ACIM redefinitions of God (formless love), masculine pronouns (non-gendered spirit), Jesus/Christ (Christ in all), sin (a mistaken belief), and atonement (undoing errors through forgiveness), and points to the Circle of Atonement's Course glossary for more terms.
