When Helen Schucman, a professor of medical psychology at Columbia University, began hearing an inner voice of rapid dictation (which she eventually identified as the voice of Jesus), she decided to start taking shorthand notes. Then, with the support and encouragement of a colleague, Schucman continued to assemble the teachings that came to her. The result is A Course in Miracles, a book that has spawned hundreds of study groups and an international following. Although some may find the teachings simplistic ("To heal is to make happy"), many are struck by the predominately compassionate and eloquent passages of this Christian-based interpretation of the Bible ("Whenever you deny a blessing to a brother you will feel deprived, because denial is as total as love"). Indeed, many of the teachings carry weight and certainly merit the acclaim and attention that this book has generated. --Gail Hudson

 This Book is Ridiculous August 10, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is filled with a bunch of statements with no proof or evidence to support them.
Anyone who finds this book useful, is gullible, and can believe things anyone tells them.
This book makes claims which are supposed to be "knowledge" however have nothing to back them up, they are just empty sentences.
I can sit around and write "Miracles come from love. Love is the greatest thing in the universe, etc"
This is not a book with knowledge, it will not enlighten you (unless you can easily believe empty statements with no back up or evidence)

This is a very profound book. It is a big book and challenging for many who are not focused on finishing it. But, when you do, you will notice many changes in your life.
In fact, you don't even have to do the whole course, as it seems when you are having an off day, you can just pick up the book. When you open it, you will be lead to the exact page you need to read. I would recommend this book for someone who wants to break down old belief systems. One these are brought down, the book allows for your consciousness to align with love. Which can be very powerful.
A great book to have
Music to my ears July 29, 2008

This book is amazing. It is a masterpiece of mind training and cutting edge philosophy. It leads the reader towards a peaceful interpretation of life.
I found this work when I was having severe health issues and was in deep despair. It did not disappoint me. Working with the lessons I was able to find new attitudes towards my problems that gave me hope. Eventually this led to actual physical healing.
This book delves heavily into the function of the relationship in healing and as identity. This was way before people were talking about "quantum entanglement" and the "intersubjective" perspective. Each reading brings new insights. Applying it to your own life brings about a deep sense of connection.
The text can be thick at times. I have met many people who have been turned off by this factor. It's well worth the work to understand it. I began to sing the lessons to myself to make them easier to integrate and memorize. Since much of the lessons are in iambic pentameter, this works very well. They even work well as rap music!

Change your mind, Change your life July 19, 2008

This book gives you a method by which to change your life. It is spoken in a spiritual language (not religious) but can be understood outside of the spiritual realm. It states that God's teachers come from all religions and NO religion. The longer I study the book, the more I know it's true. There are study groups EVERYWHERE. Surf the net for them or look on meetup.com. I am a student of philosophy, psychology and prior to reading this book, agnostic. The author was a Columbia college professor and Jew. The lighter reading versions of this message include Conversations with God (Walshe) Power of Now (Tolle) and The Four Agreements (Ruiz)
 Vedanta/Buddhism for dummies? July 13, 2008

If we are all in an "illusion" what is your moral campus? I mean, and do not take an offense to it, I buy the concept of acim since it is simplified Buddhism and as such it is my faith. If I want to teach some one about Maya I could not give a better book to read is the course, or better yet listen to the tapes (what a powerful verse and language)
But learning about Maya(acim) will not help you to "awake", or will it? Is that enough, you think to "forgive" constantly but remain the same person as you were in 10 reincarnations before? Where is the progress, where is the path?
Spirituality is referred as a path we walk on.
In a way; what would stop me to be the same little person who lies, want to get ahead, thinks of himself and lives his petty, stupid little life without any remorse or any lessons learned throughout lifetimes? I can just forgive myself for being selfish. Will forgiveness teach me to be like Mother Theresa? I doubt it. It will become repetitious and boring after a while.
Have you met anyone who "awakened" via acim? I do no mean this question as contentious but a serious one. I know people who "awakened by practicing selfless, meditative and spiritual lives,
Artists or even priests, but I like to know if "forgiveness" is really enough or it is just a facade.
