ACIM is a combination of both spiritual and psychological teachings. It can be an effective and empowering path for those who are shaped by western culture, and who need to change habitual patterns of behavior or thinking. Text

A Course in Miracles is a self-study book for experiencing spiritual transformation. It offers a profound set of philosophies, principles, and techniques that lead to genuine fulfillment. It also gives practical guidance on how to practice forgiveness and develop a loving relationship with God, or Jesus, the source of all true love.

The text of A Course in Miracles is written by Helen Schucman, a psychologist who developed the teachings from inner visions and experiences she had throughout her life. It was her contribution to a greater plan to restore humanity’s forward progress in its spiritual development.

Helen had a unique gift of inner visions and psychic experiences. She also had a strong, unwavering faith in God and a powerful desire to help others.

In the summer of 1965, after years of conflict with Helen’s husband, Louis, and Bill, she began receiving a series of inner visions and heightened dreams. She also had an experience in which she walked through a door and was told to take notes. It was during this time that the Course in Miracles was conceived.

Although she was a psychoanalyst, and the psychology of A Course in Miracles deviated significantly from what Freud taught, it did not in any way deny or override the psychological foundations she knew. In fact, the teachings of A Course in Miracles have an extremely logical, rigorous approach to the development of the ego’s thought system.

This logical, strict approach has become one of the main characteristics that distinguish A Course in Miracles from other writings that use "channeled spirit" as a means of conveying truth. These writings may begin with beautiful, inspiring ideas and then drift into confusion, logically leading to conclusions that are contrary to Sacred Scripture and the Church’s teachings on salvation.

There are several reasons for this, but the most important is that Helen had a very logical mind. She was a Platonist, and there are many references to Plato’s Republic and the Allegory of the Cave. She was also a fan of Shakespeare, and much of the text in A Course in Miracles is written in Shakespearean form. Moreover, she was strongly influenced by Edgar Cayce, who was a well-known occultist at the time she wrote A Course in Miracles. Workbook

A Course in Miracles is a spiritual self-study program for people who wish to experience a life of greater love and peace. It is based on a thought system developed by Helen Schucman, a psychologist.

It is a highly structured and systematic approach to healing one's consciousness through forgiveness. It is a modern classic, having been translated into more than 20 languages and sold millions of copies worldwide.

The course consists of three books: the Text ( 669 pages), the Workbook for Students (488 pages), and the Manual for Teachers, which answers questions that might come up as students progress through the Text and Workbook. It also clarifies some terms used throughout the Text and Workbook.

There are 365 lessons in the workbook, which are designed to be done daily. They are meant to train the mind, thereby allowing students to perform their own miracles. It is suggested that students complete all 365 lessons within one year.

A lot of people read the book and get confused by it, but it really isn't difficult at all once you make a commitment to do it for a period of time. You need to do it slowly and in stages so that you can learn at a pace that works for you.

Generally speaking, I would recommend that you read at least the first couple of chapters of the text before reading the workbook lessons. Some of the workbook lessons can seem uncomfortable, silly or unbelievable and it is helpful to be able to see the truth of what the course is saying before you start doing them yourself.

Many people also find it helpful to have someone else to do the work with them, such as a mentor or healer. They can point out where they have slipped and guide them back on the path of healing.

The philosophy of A Course in Miracles is Platonic, and there are references to Plato's famous Allegory of the Cave from the Republic. It is also Shakespearean in its language, with much of it written in blank verse and in iambic pentameter. Manual for Teachers

A Course in Miracles, spelled ACIM and written by Helen Schucman, teaches a nondual philosophy of forgiveness and provides practical lessons for changing the way you perceive others. It was published in 1965 and has since been translated into more than 20 languages and sold millions of copies worldwide.

Its three books -- Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers -- are designed to be a teaching device. They are arranged as a curriculum that is learned by each student under the guidance of the Holy Spirit or Jesus, who will guide and direct the learning as He sees fit.

The Course follows the traditional pattern of educational courses, with a textbook to be read and studied by the student, a workbook that consists of lessons that the student practices in order to learn the material presented in the textbook, and a manual for teachers, which is intended to be used to teach the material to other people. The first two volumes are primarily theoretical, and the third is more practical in nature.
