A Course in Miracles

There are currently over one and a half million copies of the Course in circulation worldwide. Translations in Africaans, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovene, Spanish, and Swedish are also available, with many other translations now in progress.

What exactly, then, is A Course in Miracles?

The summary introduction, which appears in its Text, is quite succinct and brief.
It reads:

"This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.

This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way:

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God."

Please share a lesson that has touched you.

Namaste

    Hi, my name is Tina. The Course found me when I was working as a manager of a bookstore and I couldn't keep passing it by. Also, an author friend had taken classes and studies for 10 years on it and was going to start again. So I bought it and have been studying it on my own for many years. But having a group, guidance seemed to be missing. I am very excited to being led to this group.

    Hello All,
    I have had A Course in Miracles in my home for so long I can't remember how I came upon it. Probably via a Unity Church 25 years or so ago. I tried reading it and couldn't understand it. I never seemed to be able to remember what I had read a day later, either. But I kept trying over the years. Then I attended a lecture at a church about ACIM and they teacher said that one does not need a group to study it. All along, I thought it was meant to be studied as a group, and I did not have access to one nearby. So after he said that, I picked it up again and it all made sense that time! I can understand it now. I love reading it, but I have never made it all the way through the lessons. I love Gary Renard's books because he makes it so easy to understand. I listen to his cds in my car on the way to work.

    As Lisa said earlier in these comments, all that exists is Love!

    I read an incredible book called "Vibrational Medicine" and the author paid tribute to the Course In Miracles and the day that he discovered the book was on my birthday. So I naturally drawn to this book. I look forward to the miracles.

    I am looking forward to learning about this. The Secret led me here for a reason and I am not letting it pass me by!

    Greetings! Happy to find you here. I have been studying the Course for about 3 years. There were two people from my church who encouraged me to join the group there. I am just about done, but I am going through it ever so slowly! I almost threw it out the window at about half way through, it so challenged me -- shook my foundations and I am a student of the metaphyscial, the bizzare (sp), mystical, magical, mysterious! My group at church is not meeting now, so it is with a blessing that found you all and I do thank you all for being here to share with! Chris

Peaceful Warrior Movie Quotes and ACIM

I noticed the movie Peaceful Warrior has been mentioned here at PI on other threads.  If you haven't seen the movie yet and would like to: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UX414I/ref=atv_feed_catalog?tag=imdb-amazonvideo-20 I watched this movie, again, a week ago, on my plane trip to a spiritual retreat with my mentor, Erika Awakening.  I was inspired to share the quotes from the movie and add a commentary based on the principles in ACIM.  (I am 6'1" and mostly legs and as much as I love…
