Course In Miracles By Marianne Williamson - Book Review

 

ACIM A Course In Miracles is a famous book by Helen Schucman. The underlying premise underlying the story is that the single greatest "miracle" to befall mankind is the act of just achieving a full awareness of the presence of God in one's life. Schucman wrote that this amazing feat was dictated to her by Christ. It contains some of the most powerful messages in the history of all spirituality and religion. Schucman believed that by translating this experience into a "course in miracles," she could help people on earth to achieve a sense of oneness with God. If you can relate to that kind of thought, you may be interested in learning more about ACIM A Course In Miracles.

In the words of the Course description, it is "an introduction to the New Thought movement which is concerned with discovering the role of the mind in perception, thought and action." This course teaches "a simple but powerful formula for developing an ever widening consciousness connection with Spirit." The authors of acim A Course In Miracles describe their approach as "intervention between the human mind and Spirit." They suggest that any individual can benefit from this process by developing the ability to: "receive, transmit and make available to others a powerful new perception of reality based on spiritual insight." By changing the way you look at the world and your place in it, you can alter the patterns of your mental and emotional responses to situations.

The following is information regarding the contents of the course, along with an introduction and summary of what it means to be "atone." Atonement is defined as "the effort to make amends or make complete reparations for past wrong-doing, pain, or harm." People who are atone are said to have achieved "enlightened perfection," and the Course In Miracles is designed to assist individuals through the process of becoming atone. This workbook includes an Introduction to Atonement, the At-Titus Miracle, and the Power of Atonement. The course also includes the worksheet Miracle Proof, which demonstrates that a person who has been atoned can perform many things that were previously thought to be impossible.

The Course In Miracles shows that all things begin with God, and that He is the source of our existence and power. It further explains that our current state of mind and soul are the product of actions performed in the physical world and that by freeing oneself from these negative energies one can achieve freedom from ego. Through the process of applying the teachings found in the At-Titus Miracle, the reader will learn how to: receive, transmit, and make available to others a powerful new perception of reality based upon spiritual awareness. In addition, through this spiritual practice, the reader will experience a great sense of peace, bliss, and self-realization. ACIM teaches that the true nature of reality consists of duality, and that by freeing oneself from the bonds of duality, one will be able to transcend the ego and reach a state of Oneness.

ACIM also teaches its students how to: connect with the presence of God, using the At-Titus Miracle; develop personal relationships with all beings, being or God; and become aware of the presence of spiritual truth in the universe and on earth. Each week, an introductory lecture series begins with an ancient spiritual lesson and ends with a meditation designed to assist students in their search for the truth of God. ACIM incorporates the teachings of several religions, all of which are said to have been revealed by means of the anointing of the Holy Spirit. ACIM uses a seven-step system, beginning with the basics, such as: identifying our sin nature; realizing that we have a voice inside our heads; and learning to walk in the presence of god.

The Course In Miracles teaches how to use meditation, sacred prayer, dream interpretation, and shamanic rites as tools for discovering the true nature of reality and the path towards a life of peace, love, and abundance. It also provides information regarding the need to release ego attachments and the need to align with spiritual forces who will manifest our intentions and goals. Dr. Marquis Paul, one of the world's leading authorities on spirituality and the mind/body connection, calls it "a remarkable, mind-blowing book...set at a blazing pace." This is definitely a must-read book for everyone who wants to live a spiritual life!
