About this episode

Jennifer Hadley discusses how blaming others can trap us in pain and explores the relationship between anger, projection, and fear.

What if every time you blamed someone, you were actually locking in the very pain you wanted to escape? In this episode, Jennifer Hadley explores Chapter 7, Section 8 of A Course in Miracles - "The Unbelievable Belief" - and unpacks a fundamental law of the mind: without projection, there can be no anger; without extension, there can be no love. Jennifer confesses that anger used to be her favorite emotion - and explains how she came to see that projection is always an expression of fear. Using vivid examples from insecurity to homophobia, she reveals why we attack in others what we hate in ourselves. She also shares why taking total responsibility - with zero blame - is the counterintuitive way out of suffering. If you've been stuck in conflict and can't figure out why, this episode might show you exactly where it's coming from.
