A Course in Miracles

A Course in Miracles

A Course in Miracles begins…
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.

As its title implies, the Course is arranged throughout as a teaching device. It consists of three books: Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers. The order in which students choose to use the books, and the ways in which they study them, depend on their particular needs and preferences.

The curriculum the Course proposes is carefully conceived and is explained, step by step, at both the theoretical and practical levels. It emphasizes application rather than theory, and experience rather than theology. Although Christian in statement, the Course deals with universal spiritual themes. It emphasizes that it is but one version of the universal curriculum. There are many others, this one differing from them only in form. They all lead to God in the end.

The Text is largely theoretical, and sets forth the concepts on which the Course’s thought system is based. Its ideas contain the foundation for the Workbook’s lessons. Without the practical application the Workbook provides, the Text would remain largely a series of abstractions which would hardly suffice to bring about the thought reversal at which the Course aims.

The Workbook includes 365 lessons, one for each day of the year. It is not necessary, however, to do the lessons at that tempo, and one might want to remain with a particularly appealing lesson for more than one day. The practical nature of the Workbook is underscored by the introduction to its lessons, which emphasizes experience through application rather than a prior commitment to a spiritual goal:

Some of the ideas the workbook presents you will find hard to believe, and others may seem to be quite startling. This does not matter. You are merely asked to apply the ideas as you are directed to do. You are not asked to judge them at all. You are asked only to use them. It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and will show you that they are true.

Finally, the Manual for Teachers, which is written in question and answer form, provides answers to some of the more likely questions a student might ask. It also includes a clarification of a number of the terms the Course uses, explaining them within the theoretical framework of the Text.

The Course makes no claim to finality, nor are the Workbook lessons intended to bring the student’s learning to completion. At the end, the reader is left in the hands of his or her own Internal Teacher, Who will direct all subsequent learning as He sees fit.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars This is why George
A George Carlin quote that I have agreed with for years is: “If this is the best God can do, I”m not impressed. Results like these do not belong on the resume of a supreme being. This is the kind of stuff you’d expect from an office temp with a bad attitude. In any well-managed universe, this guy would have been out on his all-powerful a__ a long time ago.” The Course explains why this is so…. God did NOT create this mess. Finally, something has helped me to understand this world. But to believe is not the same as to experience. Having practiced several religions and examined many others, I feel finally with the understanding and guidance The Course gives that experience will come.

5 Stars A Course in Miracles
I am only to be added to the many before me who marvel at this book’s scope and depth. It will be long studied by me for its spiritual lessons hopefully to be lived as they are understood.

5 Stars Deeply Spiritual
A deeply spiritual book that has touched me. This book is one that I will read every day for the rest of my life. It helps me get in touch and stay in touch my spiritualness. The exercises help clear my mind so I can see.

5 Stars Beyond review
After being a Miracles student for about 15 years now, I know making any attempt to review it is plain ridiculous. It is beyond evaluation. It is my path home. It is my way out of suffering and all illusions. I live the Course as much as I am willing and at the end of the day, it works. By all means, read the introduction, What It Says, but the truth is in living it. If it is for you then no review will influence you at all.

You will know what is true.

5 Stars The spiritual path to end the cycle of reincarnation
If you think you are on a path to spiritual enlightenment, you must read this book.
