At the heart of this weekend workshop, living in the world according to A Course in Miracles' principle of forgiveness is discussed in the context of our teaching and learning, with special emphasis given to the idea that teaching is demonstration, and we learn what we teach.

The focus of these two books is on what it means to be a right-minded parent and a right-minded child. The former role involves being faithful to the changing function of parent, at the same time respecting the child's mind to choose its life experiences, and whether to perceive them through the eyes of the ego or the Holy Spirit. The latter role expresses the meaning of Freud's insightful statement:

The liberation of an individual, as he grows up, from the authority of his parents one of the most necessary though one of the most painful results brought about by the course of his development.

This is one of the most important lessons in the workbook, in that it integrates the two levels of A Course in Miracles: the theory and the practical application of this theory. It also brings to the surface the confusion sometimes resulting from these two levels of the Course's language.l.
