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.
A Course in Miracles (also referred to as ACIM or the Course) is a self-study curriculum for spiritual transformation. The book describes a non-dualistic metaphysics with the concept of forgiveness given practical application in daily living.
A Course in Miracles laid the foundation for many New Age philosophers and authors, including Marianne Williamson, who introduced the audiences of Oprah Winfrey to the Course in several of her own works.
This edition is the original text of the Course, and is a combined volume that includes:
