What is A Course In Miracles?

An Invitation to A Great Adventure-
A Quantum Awakening

"A Course In Miracles is a direct communication from God through Jesus Christ indicating the apparent conditional situation between God and man which is one of false separation, and to the manner in which that apparent schism is and was repaired. The sole purpose of A Course In Miracles is to bring enlightenment through the transformation of your mind"

ImageOur principal catalyst for this adventure into the enlightenment of humanity is the spiritual mind-training of A Course In Miracles.  In it we are sharing the illuminate reality of the teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, out of body, in eternity, out of time, speaking to you of the certainty that you are in a dream of separation from which He has awakened.  The Course is an integrating of His awakened mind with your sleeping mind. Presented as a self-study program, the format of the Course is a workbook of daily lessons, a text, and a teacher’s manual. It is available in our Catalog and in most bookstores worldwide, and has been translated into many languages.

The purpose of the mind-training of A Course In Miracles is to activate in you the experience of Singular Reality and to stimulate your recognition of it.  The Course sets up a revelatory moment in which both the experience and the whole context of understanding is given.  This “Holy Instant” or “miracle” occurs through an action of mind where an apparent condition of opposing forces or conflicting ideas is resolved within an experience of all-inclusive peace.

"The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.
Nothing real can be threatened.  Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.

ImageThe merger of energy (Light) and form into a single field of vision within human consciousness is the most revolutionary event in the evolution of the species. The conversion of matter to light involves the full participation of the apparent body organization.  Known as the resurrection, the metamorphosis transfigures the body and merges it with the Single Field of Consciousness we recognize as the Source of Creation.  It is the single most important act in the evolution of man in that it transitions consciousness past its own self-imposed limitation of time and space.

Making the connection between this quantum leap, this stepping from objective time to eternal reality, the movement from the dark particle form to the certainty of the wave of creative light energy, is only an acknowledgment of a unified force field or a Holy Spirit—a totality of the continuing unity re-association of time and eternity.  There are lots of different ways to express this in personal or historic or philosophical descriptions, or, of course, through quantum physics.  Finally, we each must experience this resurrecting reformulation personally through the inevitable necessity of the transformation of our own individual self-awareness.

At the core of every scientific discovery, at the heart of every theology, past the doctrinal debates and beyond the conceptual controversy, is a purity of thought experience that is the essence of all religion.   A Course In Miracles tells us, A universal theology is impossible, but a universal experience is not only possible but necessary.

The technology of this communication is what enlightened teachers have always taught: All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. The nature of Reality is Thought.  Everything is only your idea of it. Total responsibility for what one perceives permits one to change, in an instant, perception in its entirety.  The thought system taught in A Course In Miracles is not based on what one is thinking but how one is thinking.  It is not based on its conceptual content, but on its release.  The practice of releasing every thought awakens us to the memory of ourselves as One. This understanding is the experience of transformation that is the mind training program of A Course In Miracles.

"To free the world from every kind of pain is but to change your mind about yourself."

ImageIn the idea of “a Single Source of Reality,” by whatever name we call it, we sense the promise of a shared identity of unified fulfillment unknown in time and space. A Course In Miracles expresses our innate interlocking communication in the idea, “When I am healed, I am not healed alone”. The individual who knows “God”, “Allah”, or “Universal Mind” is empowered with the awareness of the intimate surety of that Single Source of Reality. He possesses the personal certainty of Self-Responsibility in which he is joined with, and is a whole part of, everything.  Finally, this awareness of total responsibility for what he perceives permits him to change in an instant, perception in its entirety.  To know the world as oneself is a magnetic power, graced by love and forgiveness.
