A Course in Miracles

A Course in Miracles
A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is a profound spiritual guide that leads us to lasting happiness and inner peace. At its core, the Course teaches us that we have two thought systems in our minds:

  • The ego, which is based on fear, guilt, and the belief in separation from God.

  • The Holy Spirit, which corrects the ego’s thought system and reminds us that we are loved, innocent, and one with God.

The Course helps us undo the ego and reveals the non-dual truth that only Love is real, leading us to true peace.

The Heart of A Course in Miracles
In the introduction, A Course in Miracles states:
"This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time."
(ACIM, T-in.1:1–2:4)

The Course aims not to teach the meaning of love, which is beyond words, but to remove the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, which is our natural inheritance. Simply put, it teaches:

  • Nothing real can be threatened.

  • Nothing unreal exists.
    In these two powerful ideas, we find the peace of God.

The Structure of A Course in Miracles
ACIM is a self-study curriculum with three parts:

  1. The Text: This explains the metaphysical framework of the Course’s teachings.

  2. The Workbook for Students: This contains 365 lessons that guide you through the process of undoing the ego’s thought system and strengthening the thought system of Love.

  3. The Manual for Teachers: This offers answers to frequently asked questions and guidance for students and miracle workers in training.

The Workbook for Students is particularly practical, offering daily lessons that help you shift from fear to love. Through consistent practice of forgiveness, you’ll heal your perceptions and gain spiritual vision, remembering that we have never truly separated from God and are eternally safe, healed, and one with divine Love.

Miracles in A Course in Miracles
In ACIM, a miracle is defined as a shift in perception from fear to love. As we practice true forgiveness, we allow miracles to replace all grievances, leading to spiritual awakening and inner peace. By forgiving, we heal our minds and awaken to the joyful truth that we are at one with God and Love.

A Global Community of Healing
ACIM students come together worldwide in study groups, classes, and conferences to deepen their understanding and practice of the Course. Modern Miracles Academy provides a supportive, inspired space for students to study, practice, and grow in their relationship with God and their Inner Teachers.
