5 Quotes From “A Course In Miracles” That Will Set You Free
A miracle is simply a shift in perception
A course in miracles (ACIM) is a widely revered, fairly recent spiritual text. Simply put, it teaches its readers to replace fear with love.
Like so many others, I came to ACIM through Marianne Williamson’s best-selling book “A Return To Love”, in which she shares her reflections on the course and complements them with personal anecdotes.
Williamson’s book has become somewhat of a manifesto in new age culture. And ACIM has since gained a following that ranges from modern “spiritual gurus” like Gabrielle Bernstein to yoga teachers around the world.
While Williamson was thoroughly ridiculed throughout her entire presidential candidacy, I have to say I understand the hype around her teachings. Her book has helped many people, including myself, find their way from fear to love.
If this sounds too wishy-washy, and you don’t know what I mean when I say that, keep reading.
ACIM defines a miracle as simply “a shift in perception”. It offers a profoundly unique perspective on life. The original text is a whopping 1,333 pages and was allegedly “channeled” over the course of seven years by Helen Schucman, a psychology professor at Columbia University.
