Dr. Helen Schucman – A Course in Miracles (Jesus)

Posted on 29 Aug 2009 at 2:29am
A Course in Miracles (also referred to as ACIM or the Course) written by Dr. Helen Schucman with the help of Dr. William Thetford is a book that describes a purely non-dualistic approach to spirituality. Schucman claimed to have dictated the book based on an inner voice, which she described as coming from a divine source, specifically Jesus Christ.

ACIM integrates ideas from Christianity, Eastern religions, mysticism, psychology, and Platonism, viewing reality as monistically consisting of a single thing, the love of God and the physical world as a projection in the mind. ACIM focuses on teaching the student how to gently undo the ego thought system through the practice of forgiveness, although the traditional concept of forgiveness is set aside in favor of an approach that does not make the “error real.”

Believers in ACIM consider it an inspired scripture using Biblical terminology, but possessing a greater coherence by dint of its consistent source. The traditional Biblical terminology used is redefined and given new meanings by the voice that dictated the Course. source
