10 Hallmarks of the Spiritually Advanced:
An Overview of the Characteristics of God’s Teachers

As an added bonus, from now until May 15th, when you purchase an annual subscription to Course Companions, you will receive a copy of the Complete and Annotated Edition of A Course in Miracles as our gift. If you live in the United States, we will even cover shipping costs. (Shipping is not included for international orders.)
There is a universal desire that runs deep in all of us to become a better person, even an ideal person. Yet what exactly are we aiming for? We get many conflicting messages on this issue, and our own ideas may be vague and changeable. It would help us to have a clear vision to shoot for, one that ignites our motivation and inspires the very best in us.
That is exactly what A Course in Miracles offers. In a lengthy section in its third volume, the Manual for Teachers, the Course paints a portrait of a spiritually advanced person. It is a portrait of someone who is, quite simply, breathtakingly good. This portrait stands in stark contrast to the human beings we are accustomed to. And yet it is somehow familiar, perhaps because it mirrors that deep-seated longing in us to become truly good.
Join Robert Perry and Mary Buchowski as they walk you through each of the ten character traits identified in the Characteristics of God’s Teachers section of the Manual for Teachers volume of the Course. Whether you consider yourself a teacher or not, we hope you’ll join us to learn more about what it means to be spiritually advanced from a Course perspective.
About The Circle of Atonement
From our origin in 1993, the purpose of The Circle of Atonement has been to be a bridge into the profound and unparalleled wisdom of A Course in Miracles. We clarify the Course’s sometimes difficult language in order to make possible a deeper understanding of its teachings. We then help you put those teachings into practice, explaining how to apply them in your everyday life. Our work grows out of our commitment to be as faithful as possible to what A Course in Miracles says. It also grows out of our years of dedication to walking this path ourselves and our desire to see the Course’s purpose realized in the lives of students and in the world.
