A Course in Miracles is a three-volume set consisting of the Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers. It aims to undo the illusion of separation from God and others by teaching forgiveness, releasing the past, and cultivating higher guidance. The Text presents the theoretical foundation, the Workbook provides 365 daily lessons to change the student's mind and perception, and the Manual for Teachers addresses practical questions and clarifies key terms. The course emphasizes the importance of spiritual vision, the unity of all, and the correction of misperceptions to achieve inner peace and happiness[3][4][5].
In 'The Awakened Brain,' Dr. Lisa Miller combines cutting-edge science, including MRI studies, genetic research, and epidemiology, with practical advice to show how humans are universally equipped with a capacity for spirituality. The book demonstrates that an engaged spiritual life enhances grit, optimism, and resilience, while providing protection against addiction, trauma, and depression. It offers insights and tools for people of all ages and backgrounds to tap into their innate spirituality and build a life of meaning and contribution.

You are in for a treat! In this episode of the Simple Reflections Podcast I am joined by my dear friend and colleague Dr Bill Pettit.
Bill turns 83 later this month but in the last 18 months or so he seems to have developed a second wind, and I wanted to ask him about it and his upcoming courses:
· Witnessing Miracles
· One Cause, One Cure
For those that don’t know Bill, he has been practicing Psychiatry for 53 years, the last 43 of which have been with an ever-deepening understanding of the Three Principles. This arms him with a body of experience treating patients presenting symptoms from a cross the mental illness spectrum.
It’s this experience that we touch on in this conversation and that Bill will be diving into in much greater depth in his two courses.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on our conversation and what questions they bring to mind for you?
