“I am here only to be truly helpful.” (ACIM, T-2.V-A.18:2)
A beautiful line. Also slightly confusing… if you’ve ever tried to actually be helpful. (There’s a fine line between helpful and codependent!)
Because most of us learned that “helpful” looks like: figuring it out, fixing it fast, and saying something brilliant right on cue. And then the Course quietly leans in and says …or not.
When Jon Mundy was first introduced to the Course in 1975 by Helen Schucman, this prayer wasn’t a performance metric.
It was a gentle undoing. And still is.
Less figuring. Less managing. Less “let me handle this.”
More listening.
As Jon puts it: “You don’t have to figure it out. You just have to be willing to listen.”
In this Conversations on Course dialogue, Jack Rome and Jon Mundy explore what that actually looks like in everyday life. Along the way, Jon shares stories from the early days of the Course—when all of this was brand new, slightly confusing… and somehow already working anyway.
Join us to explore:
✨ Helping: from effort to allowance
✨ Fixing vs. listening (spoiler: only one is peaceful)
✨ The blessing of a well-timed pause
This 75-minute conversation is for anyone who has ever said the wrong thing, felt the reaction rise, or tried to outthink a moment that clearly had other plans.
The Course offers a surprisingly radical alternative:
You don’t need the right answer.
You don’t need to solve the moment.
You just need a little willingness… and maybe one honest breath.
Because when the mind gets quiet—even for a second—helpfulness stops being something you do…
…and becomes something that quietly does you.
(Which, frankly, is a lot less work.)

Meet Our Speakers

Jon Mundy, PhD, is an author of 11 books, a lecturer, the publisher of Miracles Magazine, and the Director of the Miracles Studies program for All Faiths Seminary in NYC. He taught courses in Philosophy and Psychology from 1967 to 2008 at the New School University and State University of New York (SUNY), specializing in the History of Mysticism. Jon’s best-selling book, Living A Course in Miracles: An Essential Guide to the Classic Text, is in 8 languages. Jon was introduced to the Course by its scribe, Dr. Helen Schucman, in 1975. He also occasionally appears as Dr. Baba Jon Mundane, a standup philosopher comedian.

Jack Rome embarked on his journey with A Course in Miracles in 2022, following a spiritual evolution from his mostly secular upbringing. Once mindfulness practice helped him overcome intense separation anxiety at 10 years old, he continued to explore spirituality, drawn by a sense of seeking profound Truth. Inspired by mystical experiences in his early twenties, Jack adopted a deep practice, integrating teachings from both Eastern and Western traditions. These years of practice made him particularly receptive to the teachings of the Course. Jack is also a digital communications professional and volunteers with the Foundation for Inner Peace. In his creative pursuits, both online and offline, he shares original songs under the name “Jackintheway,” with music that reflects the themes and experiences explored in the Course and other similar traditions.
