ACIM, or A Course in Miracles, is a purely non-dualistic philosophy of forgiveness. It presents practical lessons and applications of forgiveness, and encourages its practice in one's daily life. It is a self-study curriculum that guides students in achieving spiritual transformation.

The Course has been called "the world's most practical and helpful guide to living the spiritual experience." It is a systematic, organized course that helps you discover and live your true nature. It does not attempt to teach the meaning of love, for that is beyond its capacity, but it can help you remove ego-based blocks to the awareness of the peace of God, or love's Presence, which is your natural inheritance.

It is designed to help you unwind your ego thought system and limiting beliefs so that you can experience the miracles of forgiveness, the Spirit's guidance, and a loving life in God. It offers an easy-to-follow, day-by-day approach to unwinding the mind from ego thoughts, and learning how to trust in the Spirit and let go of judgment, guilt, criticism, and condemnation.

OVERVIEW

A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is a self-study course based on a purely non-dualistic philosophy of forgiveness. It teaches a day-by-day, step-by-step approach to clearing away the debris from the ego thought system and limiting beliefs, that cause stress, anxiety and fear in our lives.

The Course is a spiritual study program that is often quoted by Marianne Williamson and Eckhart Tolle. It is a powerful tool for the spiritual growth process and is a must-have for all seekers of personal and universal peace.

Manual for Teachers

Many students of A Course in Miracles know that it consists of three books: a Text, Workbook for Students and Manual for Teachers. These volumes all have different purposes, depending on the needs and preferences of their users.

The Text is for readers, the Workbook for Students is for practice, and the Manual for Teachers is for teaching. As such, these volumes are designed to help students develop the skills necessary to complete the Course and become Internal Teachers for themselves.

Throughout A Course in Miracles, Helen Schucman explains that God has appointed a teacher to teach His Course and guide his or her pupils on the journey to healing. This is a special task that requires mature students who have already developed the abilities to study and apply the Course's principles and ideas in their daily lives.

This manual is a unique document in the ACIM literature, written specifically to serve this purpose. It focuses on the role of the teacher in guiding his or her pupils and answers some questions that students often have about their teacher-pupil relationship.

One of the major themes in the manual is that of separate versus shared interests, which evolves from the larger theme permeating the entire Course, of perfect unity between God's Son and His Creator and Source. This theme unifies all the seemingly disparate questions that appear in the manual for teachers and is the basis for its unique definition of a teacher of God.

Another theme is that of the two forms of a teacher, that of a healer and that of a teacher. The first form is envisioned as a Course-based version of a Christian Science practitioner, who visits people in need and offers them the healing power of forgiveness.

The second form is that of a teacher who chooses to be a teacher and who teaches A Course in Miracles, thus becoming the internal mentor of his or her pupils. This choice is a personal demonstration that the student has learned the Course, and that he or she has chosen to share the teachings with others (Manual, p. 4; M-2.4:1).

The goal of an expert teaching system is to determine the cause of your error and to offer corrective measures. That is why The Miracle assigns an importance value or weight to each of the 41 error categories for a Lesson, then designs a number of exercises to help you overcome your errors. These exercises are presented as needed, when The Miracle detects error trends in your practice sessions.

Audio

A Course in Miracles, originally scribed and typed up by Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford during the years 1965-1972, is one of the world's most popular spiritual teachings. It explains that the apparent condition between God and man is a false separation. It suggests that the way to repair this condition is through a process of enlightenment, which consists of the dissolution of the mistaken perception of separate interests, and the establishment of a direct relationship with God, the divine spirit within us.

A very practical approach, the daily lessons in A Course in Miracles are a step by step way of clearing away the ego thought system and limiting beliefs which prevent us from experiencing our true nature as the Spirit of Love. We learn to trust the Holy Spirit and let go of judgment, guilt, criticism, and condemnation which distract us from the beauty that reveals itself in each moment.

Practicing A Course in Miracles requires consistent mind training and introspection. It also requires the application of the daily lessons to our everyday lives. This can be very challenging, especially when we are caught in our own ego-based beliefs and thought patterns.
