A Course in Miracles Workbook Lessons

A Course in Miracles is an unusual set of books, both in terms of content and form. It consists of a Text that lays out the ideas that are foundational to its thought system, a Workbook for Students, which emphasizes experience over belief in a theology, and a Manual for Teachers, which addresses questions that may arise along the way. The language of the Workbook is poetic, and much of it is written in blank verse. The intellectual level at which the Book is written is high, and many metaphysical, theological, and psychological concepts are woven into its lessons.

The goal of the Book is not merely to teach us about Jesus and his teachings, but to bring our attention back to ourselves, to recognize the love that is our true identity, and to return it to God, where it belongs. The purpose of the exercises in the Workbook is to train our minds in a systematic way to a different perception of everyone and everything we see. Some of the ideas it presents are quite new, and some can seem startling at first. The important thing is to practice them, not judge them.

To help with this, the Workbook contains a section called “clarification of terms,” whose purpose is to define some of the major concepts in the Text and the Workbook. This appendix is not required reading, but it can be helpful to students who find themselves confused by some of the terminology used in ACIM.

A Course in Miracles is designed to be practiced systematically over a one-year training period. Each day, you will practice one of the 365 daily lessons in the Workbook. While it is possible to complete the course in less time, it will require an intense commitment to practicing these ideas, as well as a willingness to question every value we have held about the world and ourselves. It is not a path for the faint of heart!
