What is A Course in Miracles?

Originally published in 1976, A Course in Miracles has been called a “modern spiritual classic” and an “esoteric bible that went mainstream.” It has changed the lives of thousands and has touched people from all walks of life. ACIM is a three-volume set of books that combines profound spiritual teachings with far-reaching psychological insights. It teaches forgiveness as the path to peace. It has also influenced the growing numbers of people who consider themselves spiritual but not religious.

A Course in Miracles is a self-study spiritual thought system that consists of a Text which lays out its concepts, a Workbook for Students consisting of 365 daily lessons and a Manual for Teachers. It uses Christian terminology but is ecumenical in its scope and emphasizes experience over belief in a theology. It clearly states that it is not a religion and is only one of many thousands of ways to find God.

The Course’s language is poetic and written in blank verse, leading many to compare it with some of the world’s great literature. Its thought system is intellectually sophisticated, combining spiritual inspiration with deep psychological understanding of such phenomena as the dynamics of the ego and the psychology of forgiveness.

Its practice is challenging, requiring an openness to see the world differently and a willingness to question the values and beliefs that govern so much of human behavior. But it also offers hope and encouragement, recognizing that transformation is possible and calling upon everyone to be part of its healing process.

Although ACIM is a self-study curriculum, its teachings are so difficult to comprehend and follow that most students eventually join a study group or one of the several accredited churches inspired by it. It is estimated that there are millions of ACIM followers around the globe.

What is A Course in Miracles for?

A Course in Miracles is a spiritual teaching that emphasizes forgiveness as the way to inner peace. It is a universal path that uses love and forgiveness to uncover the layers of conditioning and misbelief about yourself that have kept you from remembering who you really are. The goal of the course is to reclaim your innocence and return to God's perfect love for you.

The Course began with two Columbia University psychologists, Helen Schucman and Kenneth Wapnick, who became disillusioned by the angry and divisive nature of their workplace. They decided to look for a different way, and the Course was received by them through a process of "inner dictation" that began in 1965. It was completed in 1976, and the book has become a modern spiritual classic. More than three million copies have been sold without any paid advertising, and it has touched people from all walks of life and every major religion.

While the Course uses Christian terminology and evokes themes familiar to Western culture, it is ecumenical in its approach and states that there is no one true religion. It is a self-study thought system that contains three books: the Text, which lays out its concepts; the Workbook for Students, which is comprised of 365 daily lessons emphasizing experience over belief in a theology; and the Manual for Teachers, which provides answers to questions commonly asked by students.

Although the language of the Course is poetic and often written in blank verse, its thought system is intellectually sophisticated and combines spiritual inspiration with deep understanding of such subjects as perception and belief systems. The lessons are practical, and the Course encourages you to apply them in your everyday life.
