What is A Course in Miracles?
A COURSE IN MIRACLES is the unearthly contemporary body of work given to the mind as one form of the answer to anyone’s call for a “better way”.
The primary purpose of the Course is to learn mind training so one can undo the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence and bring about a consistent state of joy and peace reflective of our natural state as Soul.
Anyone willing to follow the instructions given and apply the principles and lesson plan laid out in the Text, Workbook and Manual for Teachers are assured of the change of mind the course affirms.
The goal of A Course in Miracles is peace for us and all the world.
How do I start ACIM?
- I suggest to begin by flipping through its pages to Get a feel for the Course.
- Either set an intention or ask what is most helpful for you to reach right now, and flip through it to see what pops out at you.
- I find anytime I do this, I land on the perfect section for me to read and apply.
- This is a great way to get acquainted with the Course.
- I would then start by doing the Workbook Lessons.
- We are asked to apply one lesson a day for 365 days.
- If you need to take longer than a day on a lesson to allow it to sink in or do it better, you may do so.
- But we are asked not to do more than one lesson in a day.
- The lessons begin with asking only one minute of our time, a few times a day.
- If you want to see the videos from when I recorded all 365 workbook lessons on YouTube in 2013, watch them here.
- I would read the 31 Chapters of the Textbook, from beginning to end, along with the Lessons
- Think of this as a Course, because it is.
- The Text is 31 chapters and is the ‘A Course in Miracles’ curriculum/theology/ foundation for which the Lessons are built on.
- I find reading the Text out loud or listening to the Audiobook is helpful to find the rhythm of the words and connect to its deeper meaning.
- If you are looking for an Online Study Group, sign up here. We are going through the Text together every Tuesday.
- When you are done the Workbook Lessons and the Textbook, its time to move onto the Teachers Manual so that you can give what you have received.
- The author of the Course is Jesus of Nazareth, received and scribed by Helen Schucman with crucial support and dedication from Bill Thetford. We are asked to take Jesus as our teacher, and Holy Spirit as our inner healer and guide.
- This course, if taken seriously, at the pace that works for you, and applied diligently every single day to your mind and events that come up each day; will carry you to the place of perfect peace, freedom, purpose and joy within. It can do this because God Will’s it.
- I am forever grateful for the Course, and for Jesus and am grateful to be walking this path with you 🙂
