A Course in Miracles is something of a phenomenon that has affected the lives of many thousands of people; a Workbook for Students, containing 365 daily lessons that are designed to train the mind of the student along the lines set forth by the Text; and a Manual for Teachers, which answers some of the questions most likely to be asked by one studying the Course, and clarifies some of the terms used in the books. While the Course is primarily a self-study program, many hundreds of study groups have been established worldwide.
A Course in Miracles is a restatement of the core of wisdom found in every major world religion. However, the Course is a spiritual teaching rather than a religion. While it uses Christian terminology, it is ecumenical in nature and states that "a universal theology is impossible, but a universal experience is not only possible but necessary." The Course makes no claim of being "the only way," but clearly states that it is only one of many thousands of forms of "the universal course" that can be used for personal transformation.
A Course in Miracles teaches that there are only two basic thought systems, one of perception and the other of knowledge. It teaches that our relationships offer us unique and valuable opportunities for learning, awakening and healing. The Course offers a variety of approaches by which relationships based on fear and lack can be healed. Forgiveness of ourselves and others provides the means by which we can use relationships to let go of the past with its burden of guilt and grievances.
A goal of A Course in Miracles is to train us to listen to God's voice, the Holy Spirit. This extension of God's mind serves as our inner guide, who will direct our thoughts, telling us exactly what to do, and directing all our efforts. To be truly effective, we must learn to rely on our own internal teacher rather than looking for help outside ourselves. We are thus guided to discover our own God-given function.
