A Course In Miracles | Susan Sutherland

What is A Course in Miracles?

A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is a self-study spiritual thought system that teaches the way to universal love and peace is by undoing guilt through forgiving others. It is a book that was published in 1976 by Helen Schucman, who claimed that it was dictated to her word for word via a process of “inner dictation” from Jesus Christ. "Although Christian in statement, the Course deals with universal spiritual themes. It emphasizes that it is but one version of the universal curriculum. There are many others, this one differing from them only in form. They all lead to God in the end".

The Course includes text and theoretical understanding, as well as a workbook with 365 Lessons. The workbook can be seen as the essential component for our journey. It emphasizes application rather than theory and experience rather than theology.

About the Book Club

The text and theoretical understanding is not a direct corresponding day by day practice with the lessons. I will read and post information about the text so we all learn the universal wisdom being shared. We will all undertake the lessons day by day. The minimum commitment is daily reflecting. Some days may have a journal entry, some just a quick contemplation. The guide indicates that this practice should be one day at a time, so do not plan to set a time on Sunday for a week's worth of work. One lesson, each day. If you miss one, do not quit; but the goal is to just take each lesson day by day.

I will be sharing the text and my thoughts on the Patreon App. We will also have a FB group to share and work through these lessons together.

I am not a trained ACIM teacher. I am embarking on this journey with you. So as we get into this and need to change / adjust how things are done, I ask your permission to pivot.

There will be a $5/mo fee. Though nominal, an energetic exchange promotes the intention of growth and self-investment and there is greater incentive to follow-through and "do the work".
