A Course in Miracles tells us that "God's Voice speaks to me all through the day" (W-pI.49.Heading). An essential teaching of the Course is that we should listen to that Voice and let it guide all of our decisions. This guidance needn't take the form of an audible...
I have recently moved to Atlanta, Georgia, and my relocation to the "Bible Belt" has put me in regular contact with conservative Christians for the first time in my life. One thing I've noticed in a number of them is a strange combination of loving generosity toward...
The question of whether the Holy Spirit acts in the world is a crucial one, because it has a direct impact on our understanding of God's relationship with the world, and our relationship with God. Did God actively respond to the separation by creating the Holy Spirit,...
My academic advisor in college, a dyed-in-the-wool atheist, used to say (with an impish smile) that "Man created God in his own image." As a student of A Course in Miracles, I certainly don't believe that we made God up out of whole cloth. But a recent study has...
The Voice for God or the Voice of God? The Foundation of Inner Peace (FIP) edition of A Course in Miracles is very clear that the Holy Spirit is the Voice for God, not the Voice of God. That edition routinely calls Him the “Voice for” and not once calls Him the “Voice...
The Discourse about Bill’s Parents What would it be like to have the author of the Course speak to us personally about a situation we are wrestling with? What would it be like to have him as our therapist, so that he could guide us through the process of identifying...
I want to share a wonderful story of something that happened to me last year. It gave me a definitive experience of the teaching in the Course that the Holy Spirit will provide all things that we truly have need of. My work in the publishing “wing” of the Circle means...
This year we have taken a giant and exciting step forward in our practice of the Course, and I am writing to tell you all about it. For the past few years, Robert and I have been teaching daily Workbook classes, going through the lessons in chronological sequence as...
It seems to me that almost everyone carries respect for Jesus. I find it remarkable that one man can command respect from such a broad spectrum of people. Yet we have so many different ways of seeing him: the divine Son of God sent to earth to die for our sins, a wise...
After I wrote the recent post "Real relationship with Jesus, real relationship with others," I made one of those connections that, to me, affords us a little window into the mind of the author of the Course, whom I believe is Jesus. The post was about a passage at the...
Recently, a friend asked me what, according to the Course, happened to Jesus after his resurrection. I wrote the following summary: I’ll try to give you a brief account of what I see the Course saying about Jesus’ resurrection and after. The crucifixion was planned as...
Helen Schucman's subway experience was one of the pivotal experiences in her life. Though it occurred over 25 years before she began scribing A Course in Miracles, it was an extremely powerful example of what the Course would later call a miracle. In this experience,...
