What is A Course in Miracles?
It is a Path of Spiritual Development. The Course takes the form of an educational program consisting of a Text, a Workbook for Students, and a Manual for Teachers. Further material consists of the Supplements, called Purpose, Process and Practice of Psychotherapy, the Song of Prayer and The Gifts of God.
The aim of the Course is to re-educate our perception of reality and teach us to extend this new perception to others, so that we can both extend happiness and inner peace and therefore find happiness and inner peace ourselves.

Introduction from the Text of 'A Course in Miracles'
1. This is a course in miracles. ²It is a required course. ³Only the time you take it is voluntary. ⁴Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. ⁵It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. ⁶The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. ⁷It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, which is your natural inheritance. ⁸The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.
2. This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way:
²Nothing real can be threatened.
³Nothing unreal exists.
⁴Herein lies the peace of God.

My Course Journey
My journey with the 'A Course in Miracles' began in 1994. Since then I have studied and taught the Course both in english and german. During the years I have mentored Course students and held study groups and workshops in Australia and Germany. For more than 30 years I have also explored numerous approaches to healing the human mind and found that the Course offers a complete and practical path. It is not just a set of ideas to understand and somehow apply, it offers an educational program that guides us in understanding, practicing and fully internalising its transformational ideas. Over the years I have studied the extraordinary wisdom of the Course using the widely known blue book from the publisher of the FIP edition of A Course in Miracles, the Foundation for Inner Peace. I am now using the purple book from the publisher of the complete and annotated edition of 'A Course in Miracles', the Circle of Atonement. The purple book has included more of the original handwritten notes from Helen Schucman, the scribe of the Course. Through my own studies for 30 years I found that the wisdom of the Course is the expression of a higher level of intelligence, and because it so profound and beautiful, it has earned my trust. Also rather than taking the course's wisdom seriously because of its authorship claim I take its authorship seriously because of its wisdom. For me the Course offers a real solution to the many problems we have always faced and we're facing in the world today. It offers a genuine path to spiritual awakening. |
