A Bridge: Exploring the Connections Between A Course in Miracles & A Course of Love
Here are straight answers to questions from students of A Course in Miracles about A Course of Love.
• What's different about the message of ACOL?
• Do both ACIM and ACOL see the world as an illusion?
• How can ACOL help me in my life?
• What could ACOL offer that I haven't already gotten from ACIM?
Many long-time students of ACIM have wholeheartedly embraced ACOL without diminishing in the slightest their love for ACIM. Others have been hesitant about "another Course." This little book was written by students of both Courses. It's offered as a bridge of love. A Course of Love came to its First Receiver, Mari Perron, “as thoughts she did not think.” Although it is a complete work in itself, it identifies itself as being the same voice of Jesus who dictated A Course in Miracles to Helen Schucman. The two courses complement each other. A Course of Love “Where the original Course in Miracles was a course in thought reversal and mind training, a course to point out the insanity of the identity crisis and dislodge the ego’s hold, this is a course to establish your identity and to end the reign of the ego.” In moments like those we are living in, when so many are experiencing anxiety, loneliness, and hopelessness, A Course of Love provides a safe haven to reconnect with the wisdom of the heart. It brings profound comfort and a path to wholeheartedness, a state of Being in which mind and heart are in perfect union and relationship. A Course of Love is a spiritual masterpiece that gently guides the reader to the awareness of Oneness, something that cannot be learned, but only revealed from the truth that resides within. This is not a course for the mind, but for the heart. It is not a way of thought and effort, but a way of feeling, ease, and direct relationship. It contains no self-improvement exercises. No striving for unity or perfection. A Course of Love takes you beyond the rational learning process to an awareness of the truth of who you really are. Your reality is union. Love cannot be taught or learned. Neither can union or oneness. If you continue to see yourself as a student seeking to acquire what you do not yet have, you cannot recognize the unity in which you exist. A Course of Love begins the transformation that is the movement from head to heart and from their separation to their union.

Excellent
I like the way the book brought ACIM and ACOL together in a non-threatening way. By that I mean ACIM students could feel that ACIM is the ultimate teaching and that nothing can exceed it. As a 22 year student of ACIM I too was not sure of how to take ACOL material and felt this strong attachment to ACIM. I was not sure how another course could help me. To me ACIM was all I desired. Another course might steer me in another direction and
confuse me. Well nothing could be further from the truth, at least that’s how feel now after reading both books ACOL and A BRIDGE. I’d certainly recommend it to anyone who might be struggling with a perceived conflict between the two courses.
In a nutshell ACIM introduces us to our fearful ego and encourages us to gradually let it go through lessons of forgiveness. While, ACOL leads us further along our path and back to our source by means of joining our heart and mind in wholeheartedness via our holy relationships with others. In so doing we dis-cover or re-member we are truly one with Love’s extension (creation). We dis-cover or re-member our true Self.
