A Course in Miracles is a contemporary curriculum designed to help people repair their minds, let go of all judgement, develop trust in their higher selves, the Holy Spirit, or their intuition, and achieve constant peace of mind.
Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford, two Columbia University medical psychology professors, originally wrote and typed the course between 1965 and 1972. In collaboration with Judith Skutch Whitson, Reed Erickson, Ken Wapnick, Robert Skutch, and Judith Skutch Whitson, "the Course" was released on June 26, 1976, and has since sold over 3 million copies in over 25 languages.
What Is A Course in Miracles?
Through the application of its principles, A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is a self-study program with a distinctive methodology that aims to consistently lead the learner to a condition of happiness and tranquillity. These ideas may come across as extreme and "out of this world." Nonetheless, those seeking to resolve issues of victimisation, abandonment, and other seemingly enduring problems find great success with this unyielding method.
A Course in Miracles' deliberate and methodical structure will undoubtedly lead to an experience that is indescribable. A worldwide theology is unachievable, but a universal experience is both required and feasible, according to the Course. The training is designed to help you have this experience. 2:5–6 C-in. When the Course is studied, it becomes clear how straightforward this statement is.
A Course in Miracles consists of three books: the Text, the Workbook for Students, and the Manual for Teachers. It also includes a glossary-style “Clarification of Terms” and two pamphlets (supplements).

A Course in Miracles, Book ACIM
[A Course in Miracles Text, Workbook, and Manual for Teachers]
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.
Original Course Guidelines Given By Jesus
A Course in Miracles was copyrighted when it was first published in the 1970s in order to keep its thought-system intact during the first 3 decades of its birth and distribution to the world.
Only Jesus and the Holy Spirit can reveal the meaning of the Course to the student’s mind. Only God knows the readiness of the student to receive this revelation.
ACIM was only to be published by those who devoted their lives to its guardianship.
ACIM has and will make its own way around the world. Freely you have received, now freely give.
Free copies of ACIM were to be provided to those people who could not afford the cost of the Course. This function was originally the responsibility of the publisher, and now is up to everyone who hears and Answers the Call. ACIM is now offered freely on the Internet for those who wish to read and/or print a copy of the book for their study and use.
Revenues and donations are always to be used for sharing and extending the Course with the world and experiencing the Inner Peace of the Kingdom of Heaven within.
ACIM Principles of Miracles
There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not “harder” or “bigger” than another. They are all the same. All expressions of love are maximal.
Miracles as such do not matter. The only thing that matters is their Source, which is far beyond evaluation.
Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle.
All miracles mean life, and God is the Giver of life. His Voice will direct you very specifically. You will be told all you need to know.
Miracles are habits, and should be involuntary. They should not be under conscious control. Consciously selected miracles can be misguided.
Miracles are natural. When they do not occur something has gone wrong.
Miracles are everyone’s right, but purification is necessary first.
Miracles are healing because they supply a lack; they are performed by those who temporarily have more for those who temporarily have less.
Miracles are a kind of exchange. Like all expressions of love, which are always miraculous in the true sense, the exchange reverses the physical laws. They bring more love both to the giver and the receiver.
The use of miracles as spectacles to induce belief is a misunderstanding of their purpose.
A Course In Miracles: LIVE with David Hoffmeister
In A Course in Miracles, Jesus tells us that miracles should be involuntary and that they should not be under conscious control. (T-1.I.5)
When we go on this Inner journey, we think that we need to learn and understand a lot, that we need to understand what God is. Yet, when we go into this mystical direction, the purpose is to release everything that stands in the way of receiving inner guidance and following that.
Once we start to give ourselves over to this guidance, we start to see that we were wrong about everything we thought we knew. That is what guidance is leading us to, to this happy realisation of, I was wrong about all the painful judgments and beliefs about myself and everything else.
In this sense, a mystic can be described as someone who stays very relaxed in the realisation of, I don’t know, and I am taken care of.
So What Are A Course In Miracles Videos?
These are videos from mystic David Hoffmeister that teach a deep commitment and devotion to God. It is a single-pointed devotion to God. When you wake up in the morning, your sole purpose is to reach eternity. That is the only purpose there is! Now you may ask, “How?” It is by allowing miracles to come through you that you become a miracle worker. You become consistently miracle-minded; you consistently come to your right mind—the present moment and escape hatch to eternity.
When you give your heart to God and say, "Here I am Lord,” it focuses your mind like a beam of light for God.
As we come closer to the mystical Heart of Christ, we come closer to the Heart of God. By laying aside all judgement, and allowing for this simple and serene state of mind, we go beyond this world. This is a state of mind that is above the battlefield and has accepted Christ within.
There are no more words to say, just quiet listening to the Song of Heaven.
Simply do this: Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. ²Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. ³Hold onto nothing. ⁴Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. ⁵Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God. (ACIM, W-189.7:1-5)
