In this soul-stirring episode, Susan Michel takes us deep into the transformative power of A Course in Miracles. From her personal journey out of darkness to becoming a beacon of joy and peace, Susan reveals how forgiveness, sitting with pain, and choosing love over fear dissolve emotional blocks and awaken the radiant joy that is our true nature. A must-listen for anyone ready to move from emotional pain to lasting serenity.

Key Takeaways

1. A Course in Miracles is a non-dualistic spiritual thought system that teaches: “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.” Only love is real.

2. Miracles are simply expressions of love. Every trigger or attack is actually a call for love—and responding with love (instead of defense) is the pathway to inner peace.

3. Emotional pain persists because childhood trauma gets stored in the unconscious. Triggers in adulthood are divine opportunities to bring that pain to the surface and heal it.

4. Healing happens when we take 100% responsibility for our pain instead of blaming others—sit with the pain, own it, and invite the Holy Spirit/God to remove it.

5. The single deepest block to the awareness of Love’s presence is the belief in separation from God. We are never alone—God is the ocean, and we are the waves.

6. True joy is not found by avoiding pain but by having the courage to face and release it. “We can learn through joy or we can learn through pain—either way, we learn.”

7. Practical daily living: When someone cuts you off in traffic or criticizes you, choose to see their behavior as a call for love and silently extend love instead of reacting in fear.
