It can be a dilemma: You need to set a boundary with someone, and yet you don't want to be unloving. Helen Schucman, the scribe of A Course in Miracles, faced this very situation. A man she had counseled had developed feelings for her, and now she faced the quandary of what to do. She first received guidance and then wrote him a long letter, a letter which appears to have been inspired from a higher source. In this podcast, Robert and Emily will reveal the ingenious solution that Helen opted for in dealing with this situation. They will also explore how we can apply the essence of her solution to our own challenging situations where we need to set a boundary with love.
