Rethinking Spiritual Authority

Exploring A Course in Miracles

In the spiritual field, we tend to grant enormous authority to those who claim to be directly in touch with true reality and who speak with total certainty. But should we? In this episode, Robert and Emily argue that the very nature of perception is that it’s uncertain. No one on earth really knows in the fullest sense of the word. What do we do, then, when someone steps forward and says they know with utter certainty because they are a direct conduit for ultimate reality? If you’ve ever given a spiritual teacher your total trust, only to withdraw it later, you will want to watch this episode.
