What is A Course in Miracles?

'A Course in Miracles®' is a comprehensive spiritual teaching, drawing on the insights of depth psychology. Whilst reinterpreting the Christian story, it contains a synthesis of the teachings that lie at the heart of the world's great religions.

The Course aims to help us remove the blocks in our minds to the awareness of love's presence through the practice of forgiveness and to start listening to the 'Voice for God', our inner teacher.

A 'miracle' is a change in perception that brings inner peace; that enables us to view the world through the eyes of love, rather than through the eyes of fear.

The Course was first published in 1976 and over a half million copies have been sold around the world in the English language. It has been translated into eight other languages, with many other translations in progress. It is published in the UK by Penguin Books.

"The Course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.

This course can be summed up very simply in this way:

Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God".
