Notable Quote From Today's Guest: "So when we decide not to fight and we're going to a truce, that's not peace, because we're just saying that I'm gonna prepare, I'm gonna hold on to these things so that I can use these weapons at a later time, against my husband, against my friends, against my family.So true peace is to let go of all those imaginary weapons.” - Carlos

Opening A Course in Miracles Quote: "I am not a body. I am free. 1. Freedom must be impossible as long as you perceive a body as yourself. ²The body is a limit. ³Who would seek for freedom in a body looks for it where it can not be found. " (ACIM, W-199)
ACIM Quote: "From His purpose comes the means for effortless accomplishment and rest." (ACIM, T-24.VI.13:7)
ACIM Quote: "In my defenselessness my safety lies. 1. You who feel threatened by this changing world, its twists of fortune and its bitter jests, its brief relationships and all the “gifts” it merely lends to take away again; attend this lesson well. ²The world provides no safety. ³It is rooted in attack, and all its “gifts” of seeming safety are illusory deceptions. ⁴It attacks, and then attacks again. ⁵No peace of mind is possible where danger threatens thus." (ACIM, W-153)
Guest's Favorite ACIM Quote: You are a stranger here. ²But you belong to Him Who loves you as He loves Himself. ³Ask but my help to roll the stone away, and it is done according to His Will. ⁴We have begun the journey. ⁵Long ago the end was written in the stars and set into the Heavens with a shining Ray that held it safe within eternity and through all time as well. ⁶And holds it still; unchanged, unchanging and unchangeable. (ACIM, C-ep.2:1-6)
Keith Kavanagh and Celina Granato sit down for an integrative fireside conversation on A Course in Miracles. Anchored in the Course’s central question—“What is it for?”—this episode invites you to look beyond appearances and address the root of suffering as the Course defines it: not the world, not circumstances, but what we take ourselves to be. What to expect The Purpose of the Course: Forgiveness (without Story) A clear, uncompromising exploration of how forgiveness heals the mind by allowing emotions to be felt without narrative. Awakening to the Peace of God How the world was made to hide guilt—and how the Holy Spirit re-purposes the world for healing, revealing a peace the world can’t touch. From Metaphysics to Daily Practice Concrete insight into how forgiveness is applied “in real time” in relationships and everyday life. This conversation offers a direct look at forgiveness as a quiet, powerful undoing of guilt through awareness and non-judgment—bringing a gentle return to purpose and the remembering of the one Identity we share.
