A Course in Miracles can be difficult to understand on first reading as it is written on quite a high intellectual level. It can help to read some introductory material alongside a study of the Course. This series of articles and diagrams is presented with that in mind. This eBook begins with some brief, introductory material covering how A Course in Miracles came, what it is and a summary with charts. It is followed by a collection of 33 articles and diagrams I have written over recent years; they explore many of the themes found in the Course, including the metaphysical and practical teachings. At the end of this book you will find two 'bonus chapters' ('Healing Ourselves' and 'The Ladder of Forgiveness') - excerpts from two of my other books (Healing the Cause and The Findhorn Book of Forgiveness). A Course in Miracles has been the inspiration for this book. What I have written is my own interpretation of some of the principles in the Course and, as such, it cannot match the depth and purity of the original teaching. If you find my writings of interest I would encourage you to study the Course's teaching, for which there can be no substitute.

The manual has its place in the curriculum of the Course by virtue of its role in explaining how we should teach this course, which means how we should learn it. Its purpose is to guide us in becoming teachers of God through demonstration. In one way or another, each section is about learning how to accomplish this. This line-by-line presentation of the manual is organized around two major themes and variations of these two themes, thus demonstrating through the use of this musical form the masterful way in which Jesus weaves together his message. The first theme unifies all of the seemingly disparate questions posed in the manual-that of separate versus shared interests. This theme is the core of the Course's concept of forgiveness. It is what makes healing possible, and is also the basis of the important topic in the text: the distinction between form and content. It emphasizes that we are all the same, reflecting the much larger theme of the Oneness of God's Son, and his perfect unity with his Creator and Source. The second theme is equally important-in fact, it would not be possible to learn that our interests are shared without it. It is the key to the practice of the Course: asking the Holy Spirit for help. By asking help of our inner Teacher, we become aware of our wrong-minded thought system. In what the Course refers to as our right mind, the Holy Spirit gently corrects our misperceptions.
Get Ready for Unstoppable Inner Peace Author Corinne Zupko undertook her study of psychology out of necessity when debilitating anxiety threatened to derail her life. Seeking ways to do more than temporarily alleviate her symptoms, Corinne began to study A Course in Miracles (ACIM), mindfulness meditation, and the latest therapeutic approaches for treating anxiety. In From Anxiety to Love, she shares what she learned and gently guides you through the process, helping you undo anxiety-based thinking and fostering mindful shifts in your thoughts and actions. Whether struggling with everyday stress or near-crippling discomfort, you will find that Corinne’s approach offers a new way of healing from — rather than just coping with — fear and anxiety.

One year after A Course in Miracles was published in 1976, in response to requests for an introduction that could be handed out to interested people as a way of presenting the Course and explaining its origin, its scribe Helen Schucman agreed to write one. It was in three parts and was called the Preface. As the third of this three-part Preface, "What It Says" was scribed by Helen by the same process of inner dictation from Jesus as was the Course itself. It introduces, as would a musical overture, the major themes to be discussed, thus providing a succinct overview of the spiritual journey presented in A Course in Miracles. It is a remarkable piece, elevating the reader to the same level of form and content found in the Course itself,. This book offers a line-by-line journey through this beautifully written document, in many ways a minor masterpiece.
"For those interested in learning about the integration of psychology and spirituality, Dr. Jesseph's book, is excellent. It also presents in a unique way an overview of the principles and metaphysics of "A Course in Miracles.""--Ruth R. Gillman, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Temple University.
In the history of the Western World, the Bible has been a perpetual source of inspiration and guidance for countless Christians. However, this Bible has also left a trail of pain. It is undeniable that the Bible is not always used for good. Sometimes the Bible can seem overtly evil. Sometimes its texts are terrible. Bishop John Shelby Spong boldly approaches those texts that have been used through history to justify the denigration or persecution of others while carrying with them the implied and imposed authority of the claim that they were the "Word of God." As he exposes and challenges what he calls the "terrible texts of the Bible", laying bare the evil done by these texts in the name of God, he also seeks to redeem these texts, hoping to recover their ultimate depth and purpose. Spong looks specifically at texts used to justify homophobia, anti-Semitism, treating women as second-class humans, corporal punishment, and environmental degradation, but he also delivers a new picture of how Christians can use the Bible today. As Spong battles against the way the Bible has been used throughout history, he provides a new framework, introducing people to a proper way to engage this holy book of the Judeo-Christian tradition.
We meet him late in life: a quiet man, a good father and husband, a fixture in his Brooklyn neighborhood, a landlord and barber with a terrifying scar across his face. As the book unfolds, moving seamlessly between Haiti in the 1960s and New York City today, we enter the lives of those around him, and learn that he has also kept a vital, dangerous secret. Edwidge Danticat’s brilliant exploration of the “dew breaker”--or torturer--s an unforgettable story of love, remorse, and hope; of personal and political rebellions; and of the compromises we make to move beyond the most intimate brushes with history. It firmly establishes her as one of America’s most essential writers. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Edwidge Danticat's Claire of the Sea Light.
