Frequently Asked Questions

What does A Course in Miracles teach?

A Course in Miracles teaches a spiritual path of being and relating to one another through the practice of:

  • Healing of our perceptions and making forgiveness our way of life.
  • Extending healing to others through acts of loving kindness.
  • Training our minds to see the invisible divine reality in everyone without exception.

 

What are the benefits of studying the Course?
  • Deep and profound peace of mind
  • Relationships transformed from contentious into holy
  • Frequent holy instants, i.e. spiritual experiences in which we temporarily enter a boundless realm of peace, joy, and love
  • Receiving guidance from the Holy Spirit for the decisions of our lives
  • Finding our special function, i.e. the particular role God has for us in the world
  • Release from guilt
  • The recognition of our true Self
  • A life lived in love instead of fear, peace instead of conflict, and joy instead of pain
  • The experience of God’s presence in each day
  • Release from a sense of powerlessness, loss, and deprivation
  • Being truly helpful to others on their journey home

 

How do you “take” the Course?
Rather than a course that one takes and completes, A Course in Miracles is a lifelong spiritual path. It is laid out in three volumes: the Text, the Workbook for Students, and the Manual for Teachers.

Integral to following this path are:

  • STUDY THE TEXT: Studying the teachings, not merely as an intellectual exercise, but as a means of transforming your perception of others, yourself, and the world. This is the foundation for all that follows.
  • PRACTICE THE WORKBOOK: Practicing the ideas you have studied through daily lessons, which include practical exercises, meditation, visualization, prayer, and seeking guidance. 
  • EXTEND AS TAUGHT BY THE MANUAL FOR TEACHERS: Extending and demonstrating to others the miracles of love and forgiveness that you have experienced through your study and practice. As you act in truly helpful and loving ways, the healing of your mind is reinforced and brings healing to others. 

To begin your journey with A Course in Miracles, we invite you to join our Course Companions program. 

Once I’ve purchased a program, how do I access it?

All of your purchased programming is available within our community site at community.circelofa.org

I’m already in a volume of the Course. Can I start Course Companions where I’m at?

Yes, you can. While we recommend starting the program from the beginning of a volume, all of the commentaries and reading schedules are accessible in the membership site, so it’s easy to start wherever you choose.

Can I go through the Text and the Workbook in the same year?

We strongly encourage you to go through one volume of the Course at a time. As many students have learned, attempting to go through multiple volumes at once can quickly become overwhelming and lead to discouragement.

How much time does this require?

While you are free to go through the Course at whatever pace you choose, if you would like to complete the Text or the Workbook in one year, it’s best to plan for about 15-20 minutes of reading each day. If you’d like to go a little slower, we have both 12-month and 18-month reading schedules for the Text in our Course Companions program.  

How long does my Course Companions membership last? How do I cancel?

Your Course Companions membership lasts as long as you like. Depending on the payment option you select, you will be billed monthly or annually until you cancel your subscription, which you can do at any time by clicking on “My plans and purchases” in our community site at community.circleofa.org.

What if I have more questions?

Please send us an email to info@circleofa.org and we’ll be happy to help.
