Alison Anton of the ForgiveNest Podcast continues her ACIM-based series “The Root of All Emotion,” focusing on attack thoughts as projection. Alison states that projection requires guilt and an “other”, first projected onto God, then displaced onto people and situations to hide deep intrapersonal guilt that sustains fear, time, and a cycle of punishment. She describes emotions as mind-generated thoughts, translated through the subtle and gross body as feeling and emotion as we know it. Alison previews the next episodes on how emotions present themselves in the body, and what to do with them.

How can I know who I am when I see myself as under constant attack? Pain, illness, loss, age, and death seem to threaten me. All my hopes and wishes and plans seem to be at the mercy of a world I cannot control. [ACIM CE W-56.1:2-4]
Guilt feelings are the preservers of time. They induce fears of future retaliation or abandonment, and thus ensure that the future will remain like the present. [ACIM CE T-5.VI.17:1-2]
