Alison Anton introduces a ForgiveNest Podcast series on emotion in the body through the lens of A Course in Miracles, arguing that emotions are expressions of a deeper, intentional chain of “miscreation” in the mind. In part one, she frames a three-part miscreation process: a driving thought of arrogance (wanting to be the author of oneself and reality rather than accepting being created by God), a will toward ignorance (choosing to obscure or forget God and true identity), and volition expressed as ‘attack thoughts’. These attack thoughts generate guilt, fear, and an expectation of punishment, underpinning projection, the idea of “the other,” and the illusion of bodies. She previews part two on projection and presents forgiveness as the solution.
