A COURSE IN MIRACLES Study Resources

A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is an advanced, nearly 1,300-page self-study psychospiritual training program. Scribed by Helen Schucman, PhD, with the assistance of William Thetford, PhD, while both served as research and clinical psychologists at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons (1965–1972), ACIM presents itself as the Voice for God—identified with Jesus and the Holy Spirit—offering a systematic path to spiritual awakening.

At its heart is an advanced forgiveness technology, where the student learns to identify and release discordant states of thought and emotion—fear, guilt, lack, imperfection, and all forms of separation. Through this process, the pure, nondual reality of love, life, and creation is revealed, a state ACIM calls miracle-mindedness—the shift from the lower human perception to the higher Christ Mind.

The Course is composed of three main parts:

  • The Text (669 pages): provides the theoretical foundation.
  • The Workbook for Students (365 lessons): offers a daily, practical training in shifting perception.
  • The Manual for Teachers and supplemental sections: support those who complete the Workbook.

Widely regarded as one of the most profound psychospiritual teachings of modern times, ACIM has been translated into more than 25 languages and embraced by millions worldwide. It synthesizes nondual Christian mysticism with insights resonant with ancient Buddhist, Indian, Jewish and Egyptian traditions—making it one of the most transformative works for individual and collective healing, enlightenment, perfection & ascension.
