A COURSE IN MIRACLES
ACIM: A Journey to Inner Peace
Welcome to your introduction to A Course in Miracles (ACIM)—a profound spiritual text that offers a pathway to inner peace, forgiveness, and unconditional love. Whether you're just hearing about it or seeking a deeper understanding, this page will guide you through its essence and benefits.
What is A Course in Miracles?
ACIM is a self-study spiritual guide that combines Christian terminology with universal spiritual principles. It was channeled through Helen Schucman in the 1970s and is designed to help individuals:
Shift their perception from fear to love.
Develop a direct connection to their inner wisdom or Higher Self.
Release grievances and judgments that block joy and peace.
The Course is divided into three parts:
Text: Explains the foundation of ACIM’s philosophy.
Workbook: A practical guide with 365 lessons, one for each day of the year, aimed at transforming the way you think and experience the world.
Manual for Teachers: For those who feel called to share its teachings with others.
The Core Teaching: Choose Love Over Fear
At its heart, ACIM teaches that the world we see is a projection of our own mind, shaped by fear and separation. By choosing love instead of fear, we can dissolve the illusion of separation and remember our unity with all of creation.
One of its central messages is:
“Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.”
