“Soul” has become a controversial word among students of A Course in Miracles. The word was there in the original dictation but was almost entirely edited out by the time the Course was published in 1976. Indeed, it was even mostly edited out in the Complete and Annotated Edition. What’s going on here? In this podcast, Robert and Emily answer a variety of questions about the soul: What is it? Why are we so attached to the word? Why was “soul” largely edited out? Are there passages that speak of the concept but don’t mention the word? Why does Jesus call it “controversial”? How important is it really? What is the big takeaway for our lives? Please join us for an informed tour through a concept that is little known in the Course but that most all of us feel a connection with.
