This is a long term self paced course.
You will know when you are ready to read this simply by reading the 1st few pages or visiting the reviews and synopsis of the book.
I guarantee it will change your life simply by changing and understanding more about yourself.
For me within the first 3 weeks of the exercises the changes have been enormous. Furthermore it puts to bed many mysteries from my pre-teen years and then to a lesser extent my tumultuous teen years. Now I k More...

This book really laid out for me the differences between the ego and the true Self and allowed me to see which was operating when in my life, mostly in myself but sometimes in others. The concepts in this book are amazingly powerful and the kind of simple that is not easy. But the writing is pretty stilted and gender biased/ Christian-y. I had to really force myself to focus on meaning rather than form (which is part of the point!)

No book has influenced me more, nor has had as profound an effect as "A Course in Miracles."
This is actually a 3 volume set of books: a text, a workbook and a teacher's manual, that I read from continuously, and have for the past 31 years. It is one of the most significant spiritual messages of our time. The Course combines 21st Century psychology with non-dualistic metaphysics. (Only God is real.

Spirituality is the most important ingredient in my life. [...:] I am always on the outlook for books that enrich my spiritual understanding. This is definitely one that has done that for me.
The book is written in three sections. The first section is the longest. That is the main text. It is a challenge to absorb. I often found the language to be be difficult to understand. Yet I believe there is a valid reason for this. I think that the purpose is to challenge the reader to get past More...

This book is huge and will take me a long time to finish. It's not for everyone -- there are a lot of stumbling blocks because of the "Christian"-type language. If you're able to get through it, it will be life-changing. All the other books I'm reading that are related to the Course and serve as help tools have already altered the way I see the world, which is ultimately "my" world, my perception, my projections, fears, baggage, etc. Very happy to be reading this book right n

This "course" aims to reverse your thought system. It is not meant to be theoretical, although ideas are presented. It is a course in which you are to experience the lessons, that is where the miracles occur. The merit of each lesson will be in its application - the lesson does not care what you "think" about it, or how you "feel" about it, it just wants you to "do" it!

My favorite chapter from this book:
The Anti-Christ
What is an idol? Do you think you know? For idols are unrecognized as such, and never seen for what they really are. That is the only power that they have. Their purpose is obscure, and they are feared and worshipped, both, because you do not know what they are for, and why they have been made. An idol is an image of your brother that you would value more than what he is. Idols are made that he m More...

This is not a novel. This is a "self-study curriculum which aims to assist its readers in achieving spiritual transformation".
The introduction to the book contains the following summary: "Nothing real can be threatened. Nothin unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God."

Amazing.
Life Changing.
It is a wonderful path to return to Love.
This is my daily study, my daily work, and inspires my daily mantras, and has been since I first read it years ago. I joined a year-long study group to go through the Workbook, and continue the lessons and readings still to this very day.
The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love,
for that is beyond what can be taught.

Miracles are a return to love and are available to us as we are part of God and God's love. A daily course in how to live in the present and to understand how much our thoughts effect our lives. Still reading...

This will take me a long time to read but I'm loving it. I usually find that reading just one chapter gives me enough to think about for days. Love it or hate it, it's an incredible piece of work.

As I read this book, I felt angry and sad. Angry that Schucman cared so little about fellow humans that she would construct this tissue of dangerous lies, and sad that anyone believed it.

Hard to read/stick to, but worth it! If this is Christ, he sure is repetitive....

Wow....this book is amazing. My chiropractor from Sonora referred my to it....it is an awakening for sure.
Alot of my thoughts and beliefs are here.
There is not a moment "in time" that we are not delievered reminders of what we are here for and to share with everyone. Love and inner peace.
My favorite quote, and I use it all of the time:

A gross misconceptualization of everything from spirituality to God to human destiny. Basically, this self-helper's primer bilkes the reader into believing that true happiness can be found if one simply substitutes the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit with the trinity of me, myself and I. Truly worthless drivel in the basest sense of the word. Leave this book where it belongs: in the check-out aisle of the supermarket...

Interesting. I'm not sure what I think about it. Could be one of the biggest frauds going, or it could be the real deal.
I guess it won't hurt anyone though...and it seems to have a lot of truth in it. Whether it's all true...who knows?

I only just started chapter 3. So far the outstanding
"ah ha s" I have had: Miracles are a natural part of life and we SHOULD expect them. The Atonement wasn't the crucifixion, it was the resurrection.

I started to read this book in 1999 by recommendation of my philosopher professor. I have read it at least four times by now (2008) and still refer back to it. This book has been life changing for me.
