This
is the edition of A Course in Miracles that its two scribes, Drs. Helen
Schucman and Bill Thetford, authorized for publication by the
Foundation for Inner Peace in 1975. It is now available in translation
in 27 languages and is widely used by students in thousands of Course
study groups around the world.
A
Course in Miracles is a unique spiritual self-study program—a course in
mind-training—designed to undo the illusion that you are separate in
any way from God or your fellow humans. At the level of the mind we are
all united as one. When we learn to live this truth consistently, fear,
anger and guilt give way to a profound sense of inner peace. The Course
systematically leads you to experience God’s Love in all your
relationships through the practice of forgiveness (releasing the past),
the willingness to receive and follow higher guidance, and the
cultivation of miracle-mindedness. Happiness, peace, joy, and love are
the natural outcomes of the Course’s teaching.
A
Course in Miracles consists of three separate volumes: Text, Workbook
for Students and Manual for Teachers. The Text presents the theory of
the Course, laying out its central ideas in a holistic,
symphonic-like progression. The Workbook for Students provides 365
lessons, one for each day of the year. It begins the process of changing
the student’s mind and perception. The Manual for Teachers is written
in question-and-answer form to address many of the most important and
practical Course topics. Also included in this Combined edition
only are two valuable Supplements to the Course: Psychotherapy: Purpose,
Process and Practice and the beautiful and inspiring Song of Prayer.
