Sarah St. Claire shares that FACING NOT FIXING IS THE WAY OF PEACE with A Course in Miracles!
ACIM's purpose is singular—PRESENT PEACE. With the simplicity of this unified goal out-front everything we seem to encounter is seen as a reflection of our state of mind. Instead of investing further in the repeat pattern of trying to fix the form we focus on gently facing these unconscious and often conflicting beliefs and desires. This simple devotion to looking with the Vision of the Spirit at our innocent, mistaken thinking allows us to rest in God, now.
"The peace of God is everything I want. The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here, the end I seek, my purpose and my function and my life, while I abide where I am not at home." Lesson 205 A Course in Miracles

Sarah introduces the purpose of the new show LIVE ACIM and clarifies the metaphysics of A Course in Miracles. ENGLISH TRANSCRIPT (Inspired to translate this into your language? LMK)
"How can you who are so holy suffer? All your past except its beauty is gone, and nothing is left but a blessing. I have saved all your kindnesses and every loving thought you ever had. I have purified them of the errors that hid their light, and kept them for you in their own perfect radiance. They are beyond destruction and beyond guilt. They came from the Holy Spirit within you, and we know what God creates is eternal. You can indeed depart in peace because I have loved you as I loved myself. You go with my blessing and for my blessing. Hold it and share it, that it may always be ours. I place the peace of God in your heart and in your hands, to hold and share. The heart is pure to hold it, and the hands are strong to give it. We cannot lose. My judgment is as strong as the wisdom of God, in Whose Heart and Hands we have our being. His quiet children are His blessed Sons. The Thoughts of God are with you."
—A Course in Miracles (T-5.IV.8)

EPISODE 2
LIVE ACIM - Living A Course in Miracles with Sarah St. Claire | Recorded: July 13th 2021
Week 2 - Sarah describes how not having a singular goal out front can mask that we have multiple motives in asking for Guidance. Whom is asking? Identity confusion leads to self doubt and amplifies conflicting beliefs derailing our ability to experience certainty. Clarity is needed at the outset to confirm our true goal and unified purpose for everything so we can hear the comforting Answer. We are invited to take each step along the Way with Jesus having faced the fear first.
"The Bible tells you to become as little children. Little children recognize that they do not understand what they perceive, and so they ask what it means. Do not make the mistake of believing that you understand what you perceive, for its meaning is lost to you. Yet the Holy Spirit has saved its meaning for you, and if you will let Him interpret it, He will restore to you what you have thrown away. Yet while you think you know its meaning, you will see no need to ask it of Him." —A Course in Miracles (T-11.VIII.2)
"No one can withhold truth except from himself. Yet God will not refuse you the Answer He gave. Ask, then, for what is yours, but which you did not make, and do not defend yourself against truth. You made the problem God has answered. Ask yourself, therefore, but one simple question: Do I want the problem or do I want the answer? Decide for the answer and you will have it, for you will see it as it is, and it is yours already." —ACIM (T-11.VIII.4)

EPISODE 3
LIVE ACIM - Living A Course in Miracles with Sarah St. Claire | Recorded: July 20th 2021
Week 3 - Sarah speaks on Fear, Function and Faith.
"It would not be kinder to shift the goal more slowly, for the contrast would be obscured, and the ego given time to reinterpret each slow step according to its liking. Only a radical shift in purpose could induce a complete change of mind about what the whole relationship is for.
Their perception of the relationship may even become quite disorganized. And yet, the former organization of their perception no longer serves the purpose they have agreed to meet.
This is the time for faith. You let this goal be set for you. That was an act of faith. Do not abandon faith, now that the rewards of faith are being introduced. If you believed the Holy Spirit was there to accept the relationship, why would you now not still believe that He is there to purify what He has taken under His guidance? Have faith in your brother in what but seems to be a trying time. The goal is set. And your relationship has sanity as its purpose. For now you find yourself in an insane relationship, recognized as such in the light of its goal.
Now the ego counsels thus; substitute for this another relationship to which your former goal was quite appropriate. You can escape from your distress only by getting rid of your brother."
