A
Course in Miracles (page
1 of 2)
A Course in Miracles is only one of the many great spiritual
teachings in the world. It is only one of many paths to wholeness
and, it is only one of many sources I use in my work with you.
A Course in Miracles is a set of three books, sold only
as a set. The volumes may be separate but are usually bound
into a single book. The Course was first published in 1976.
The three volumes are titled Text, Workbook for Students,
and Manual for Teachers.
The Course as a whole sets forth a curriculum for mind-training.
It emphasizes application rather than theory. Its Preface states,
"Although Christian in statement, the Course deals with universal
spiritual themes." It presents a carefully planned spiritual
training program, intended to help us remember our true Identity
as God's perfect creation, through the means of forgiveness
practiced in our daily relationships. Some have called it a
course in spiritual psychology, since the Course makes free
use of many psychological concepts and terms such as denial,
projection and dissociation.
The Text is largely theoretical, and presents the thought
system on which the Course is based. It is meant to be read
in the order given, as it presents a reasoned argument for the
thoughts it sets forth. Volume II: Workbook for Students (488
pages)
The Workbook includes 365 lessons, one for each day of
the year, which are meant to be done no more than one per day,
although you may want to spend more than just one day on some
of the lessons. It provides the practical basis of the Course.
The theoretical material of the Text is essential to make the
Workbook lessons meaningful; but without the practice of the
Workbook lessons, it is not possible to achieve the goals the
Course sets forth.)
