“A Course in Miracles”
“A Course in Miracles” is a spiritual text first published in 1975. The book is composed of three volumes: “Text,” “Workbook for Students,” and “Manual for Teachers.” It was written by Helen Schucman, a clinical psychologist, and dictated to her by an inner voice that she identified as Jesus.
The book presents a non-dualistic philosophy, which means that it teaches that there is no real separation between the self and God. It promotes the idea that individuals are not separate from each other and that the world is an illusion. The text also emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and the power of love as the means to achieve spiritual enlightenment.
The “Workbook for Students” contains 365 daily lessons that are designed to help the reader understand the principles outlined in the text and apply them in their daily lives. The “Manual for Teachers” includes guidelines for those who wish to teach the course to others.
The book has gained a significant following, particularly in the New Age spiritual community and self-help circles. It has been translated into several languages and continues to be widely read and studied. Some people find the book to be a powerful tool for personal transformation, while others criticize it as being un-Christian or even dangerous.
