A Course in Miracles Meetup Near Me
A Course in Miracles is a self-study spiritual thought system that includes a Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers. It is non-denominational and teaches that forgiveness leads to peace.
ACIM teaches that everything that seems to be separate from God is actually an illusion and therefore unreal. It is thus teaching nondualism.
Become a Miracles StudentIf you are interested in learning A Course in Miracles, it is helpful to find a group of like-minded individuals to study with. These groups may be part of a church, but they are usually independent and non-sectarian. The group can be led by a trained ACIM teacher or one of the members. This allows for the formation of a safe environment to learn and grow. The Course is very challenging, and it helps to have a support system to help navigate the lessons and 365 daily readings.
The manual for teachers includes a question-and-answer section that addresses some of the more common questions about the Course. This section is very helpful to new students and also clarifies several terms used in the Course.
The answer to this question is yes, it is totally in keeping with the spirit and message of A Course in Miracles for a member of a group to be asked to leave if they do not abide by the rules set forth by the group. The analogy of a three-year-old throwing a temper tantrum is often given to illustrate this point.
Become a Miracles TeacherA Course in Miracles is a self-study spiritual thought system that offers a path of forgiveness and returning to God. Its teachings are based on universal principles and are intended to lead to an experience beyond words. The intentional and careful structure of the Course’s principles allows for an experience that is consistent and reflects the truth of who we really are.
The ACIM classes offered by Jennifer Feiereisel are designed to focus on total comprehension of the Course’s teachings. She uses passages and clues from all three parts of the Course (the Text, Workbook Lessons, and Manual for Teachers) to bring clarity and understanding. Her goal is to meet the consciousness of the class and take leaps and bounds as Spirit directs.
During the class, students will be encouraged to study and apply the principles of the Course to their daily lives. It is possible that the group will experience difficulties in their application. It is important for the members of the group to be willing to allow for the best outcome for all. For example, if someone is unwilling to abide by the rules of the group and consistently brings up inappropriate, divisive, or judgmental comments, it may be necessary for the group to ask them to leave. This is entirely in keeping with the spirit and message of A Course in Miracles.
Become a Miracles CounselorDeveloped in the mid-70s, A Course in Miracles is an a-taught spiritual thought system comprised of a Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers. It teaches that the goal of life is to escape from fear by undoing guilt and forgiving others. The Course also teaches that God is love, and that we can experience his love by believing in him. It is not a religion, but rather, a way of remembering the truth.
Its teachings are based on the belief that our problems arise from the separation from love, which is caused by ego-centered thoughts. The Course states that we can become more loving by replacing these ego-centered thoughts with the truth of God’s love for us. This is done through the practice of the daily lesson in the Workbook for Students and by practicing the teachings of the Text. The course aims to bring about healing in relationships and in the world by teaching forgiveness, which is the way to return to the loving presence of God.
The Course was “scribed” by Helen Schucman through a process of inner dictation, which she identified as coming from Jesus. It was published by the Foundation for a Course in Miracles, a not-for-profit organization in Roscoe, New York. Although the Foundation is not affiliated with any church or denomination, it has been promoted by popular New Age authors such as Marianne Williamson and Oprah Winfrey. The Course draws on a variety of spiritual traditions and is influenced by psychotherapy.
Like other New Age teachings, the Course rejects the Biblical concept of sin and teaches that there is no need for guilt. It claims that death is only an illusion and that there is no such thing as evil. It even teaches that murder, rape, and other forms of violence are not real.
For Christians, the Course is unequivocally anti-biblical and should not be considered a source for spiritual understanding. It is clear from Scripture that only the Son of God, Jesus Christ, is our Savior. He is the only one who can defend our spirit against Satan.
Become a Miracles LeaderWe are dedicated to the principles of the Course in Miracles. We are a non-profit organization that provides the resources and the environment for students to learn and practice ACIM in a community of love. Our goal is to help students remember their true nature and escape from fear through forgiveness.
The spiritual teachings of A Course in Miracles are fully compatible with Unity’s non-denominational approach to Christianity. The Course is a self-study spiritual thought system consisting of a Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers. The teachings are universal and non-sectarian.
It is perfectly in accordance with the spirit and message of A Course in Miracles to ask someone to leave a group when they refuse to abide by its rules or to allow their behavior to interfere with the group’s ability to function. In fact, that is the only loving thing to do.
