A Course In MiraclesNovember 17, 2008 A seed from nature In the mind of man Under the ray of light Sprouts a bush in thought With bud of one rose Unfolding natures purpose Her soft pedals undaunted As her contemporaries trespass Reflecting the light of God's sun Through her beauty in sent And splendid tenderness in sight Nothing to learn she already knows Given to one in return for one Balanced to be as it was intended A course in miracles

Life ChangingNovember 8, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book changed my life. It helps me learn how to love people and myself. I have studied religions, metaphysics, and new age philosophies and this book is easily the most important book I have ever read. I have been a student of the course for 16 years and as a result I am full of peace, love, and happiness and see the world through eyes of love. It has healed my relationships with people in my life as well as soothed my anxieties.
The text is very challenging to read and it is helpful to have a study group or a primer to help you understand the topics. The workbook is easy to follow and gently guides you through 365 practical and effective daily meditations.
Do yourself a favor and buy this book. Do the people in your life a favor and practice its principles. :)

Explores the frontier of thought-power with informality. Sage, meticulous, orderly, this book offers the reader a gentle venue for investigating the dynamics of spirtuality. If it gets diffusive, read 21st Century Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures or something else that can help the mind project further into the ideas and come to the conclusions best fitting your situation.
One of the best books on the PlanetOctober 4, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is written from Spirit. The paperback version contains all three books in the Course: Text, Workbook for students, and Manual for teachers. This work includes the universal concept of Consciousness as the Source of all with an emphasis on Fatherhood(Creator), Brotherhood(everything created), and Holy Spirit(the Voice from God as the Teacher). Its main focuses are on Brotherhood, Forgiveness, experiencing the Present Moment and Spiritual Awakening. If you are at the highly developed spiritual stage needed to grasp this book, you will be highly rewarded. If not, you should read it anyway to gain that highly developed spiritual insight, but first you should read Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment and "A New Earth" A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61) (and anything else written by Tolle) to gain insight into the type of concepts needed to understand what is being taught in the Course.
Make sure that you read the "Text" before or at the same that you do the "Workbook for Students" for a much more in depth understanding of the workbook.
It is the bible of NOW... "New wine in a new vessel"
