The great classic work, A Course in Miracles, is devoted to teachings about who we are, our relationships to God and with each other, and the actually mental nature of our bodies and the world. There are three constituent parts to the Course: The Text, a Workbook for Students, and the Manual for Teachers. The Text lays out the theoretical foundation for the metaphysical system of the Course. The Workbook contains a series of 365 Lessons to be practiced daily for the purpose of retraining the mind and healing our perception. Finally, the Manual contains information for and about advanced teachers of God. The Course is also about miracles, which students understand to be, in part, a shift in perception to healed vision. But miracles are more than a shift in perception, because the shift has consequences in the world as we see it. The Course is a self study educational program for retraining the mind that is spiritual, rather than religious, in its perspective. Although the Course uses Christian terminology, it expresses a universal experience, and its underlying ontology is reminiscent of ancient refrains, echoing the world's most hallowed traditions.

The story of the Course began when Columbia University research psychologist Dr. William Thetford decided he had had enough of the intensely competitive and negative climate he was experiencing and declared to his colleague, Dr. Helen Schucman, "There must be another way, and I am determined to find it. She agreed to help. What ensued was a dramatic progression of waking dreams for Schucman, which culminated in October of 1965 with her experience of a voice which spoke clearly in her mind, saying, "This is a course in miracles. Please take notes."

Course in Miracles Society was founded in 2000 to publish and distribute Jesus' Course in Miracles, a precursor of ACIM Original Edition. When the Course was found to be in the public domain, the Original Edition was born. A Course in Miracles-Original Edition is the unabridged volume of the Course as it was completed by Schucman and Thetford in 1972, before substantial editing by others.

This is the edition of A Course in Miracles that its two scribes, Drs. Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford, authorized for publication by the Foundation for Inner Peace in 1975. It is now available in translation in 27 languages and is widely used by students in thousands of Course study groups around the world.

A Course in Miracles is a unique spiritual self-study program-a course in mind-training-designed to undo the illusion that you are separate in any way from God or your fellow humans. At the level of the mind we are all united as one. When we learn to live this truth consistently, fear, anger and guilt give way to a profound sense of inner peace. The Course systematically leads you to experience God s Love in all your relationships through the practice of forgiveness (releasing the past), the willingness to receive and follow higher guidance, and the cultivation of miracle-mindedness. Happiness, peace, joy, and love are the natural outcomes of the Course s teaching.

A Course in Miracles consists of three separate volumes: Text, Workbook for Students and Manual for Teachers. The Text presents the theory of the Course, laying out its central ideas in a holistic, symphonic-like progression. The Workbook for Students provides 365 lessons, one for each day of the year. It begins the process of changing the student s mind and perception. The Manual for Teachers is written in question-and-answer form to address many of the most important and practical Course topics. Also included in this Combined edition only are two valuable Supplements to the Course: Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process and Practice and the beautiful and inspiring Song of Prayer.
