We all know the title. A Course in Miracles. That tells us that this is an educational course designed to teach us to experience or give “miracles.” Just as another course might be a course in history, or a course in painting, this is a course in miracles. What the...
What does it mean to be a miracle worker? This theme is so central to A Course in Miracles that its first two chapters are devoted to laying it out. The picture painted by these chapters portrays a vision of a very different life, yet it is a vision that could be...
I am here only to be truly helpful. I am here to represent Him Who sent me. I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, because He Who sent me will direct me. I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me. I will be healed as I let...
At one point, the Course itself (in Section 4 of the Manual, “What Are the Characteristics of God’s Teachers?”) provides an extended discussion of the gifts that come to those who become truly advanced on this path—or any path, for that matter. It calls these...

Last Thursday's class was on how Helen prayed for others. I found three examples in the early Course dictation that demonstrated a way to pray for others that is different from the usual way of asking God or Jesus to help that person. That way, of course, is...
Yesterday, I taught a teacher class on the role of the intellect in the Course and about how to respond to students making comments that betray an anti-intellectual attitude––comments such as, “ I don’t know about this Course; I can’t feel any emotion when I’m reading...
