A Course in Miracles Made Easy Online Course

In the decades since its publication, A Course in Miracles has captured the hearts of millions worldwide; its healing power is undeniable to those who encounter it. But all too often, people give up studying ACIM, whether due to its lofty language, esoteric principles, or simply their own resistance. In Lesson 1, Alan dives into what ACIM is—and what it isn’t. Dispelling misconceptions about the Course, he lays out how ACIM came to be, reveals its basic themes and principles, and shares the practical results and benefits from using it. He also highlights the ongoing choice we have between love and fear—the “only two emotions in human existence”—and how we can discern those two voices, and explains why reality is the total inverse of what we’ve been taught.

A key theme throughout A Course in Miracles is that of projection. “We see the world through the filter of our own perceptions,” Alan says, but the world in and of itself is neutral, a blank screen. In Lesson 2, Alan explores the critical importance of taking our power back by recognizing that we weaken ourselves by projecting attributes onto others, and strengthen ourselves by reeling in our projections. You’ll also learn about ACIM’s unique understanding of forgiveness; how to use forgiveness to release yourself from mental, emotional, and physical pain; and how to create miracles by shifting your perception. As Alan says, “When you take 100 percent responsibility for what you’ve created, you gain 100 percent of the power to create something new.”

The heart of A Course in Miracles is about healing our relationships. Whether for a moment, a year, or a lifetime, every relationship—romantic or not—is an opportunity to give and receive love as well as shine a light on the illusions that have kept us in pain. In Lesson 3, Alan shares ACIM’s unique definition of “special” and “holy” relationships. He helps you identify special relationships (those in which you give your power away) and recognize their cost, and then he gives you the specific skills and tools you can use to transform special relationships into holy relationships, which are based on wholeness, kindness, and mutual support. And the best part? “You have the power to change your relationship,” Alan says, “without waiting for the other person to do something different.”

Healing is one of the most significant themes in A Course in Miracles, and perhaps one of the most controversial too. Although we commonly attribute healing powers to external sources (whether that be techniques or tools, methods or medical doctors), the real power to heal actually lies in our own minds, the source of all experience—and nowhere else. As Alan says, “the healer lives inside you.” In Lesson 4, he covers what it takes to be healed, how to make peace with our bodies and tap into healing from within, and why love is the ultimate healer. Healing can, in fact, be instantaneous if you let it; you need only choose to be well and recognize the presence of love right where you stand.

“There lives in every human being, a guru,” Alan says, “a wise sage that…has the power to deliver to you all the wisdom you need to navigate your life or make any decision in any given moment.” In this powerful lesson, you’ll discover how easy it is to connect with guidance and walk an effortless path through life. Alan shares how struggle is not a requirement on the spiritual path and explores how to move from a struggle mentality to one of ease—explaining why “ease is one of the most powerful ways to let blessings in.” He also addresses how to deal with resistance and rise above it, and discusses our capacity to tap into the abundant nature of the universe by recognizing the presence of enough.

A Course in Miracles calls us all miracle workers; in fact, we each take turns both needing and offering miracles, whether we realize it or not. In this final lesson, you’ll explore the deepest and richest principles of miracles and learn how to use ACIM to create miraculous transformations in your everyday life. This lesson includes the powerful Healer’s Prayer—how to use it and benefit from it—and illuminates our way to move away from the illusion of death to the eternality of life. It closes with a beautiful meditation of light, energy, and expansion, so that you can amplify the light of the universe and send it out to everything and everyone in existence.

Meditation to Heal Relationships

This soothing meditation will take you on a journey to heal your relationships. Before you begin, prepare to call to mind someone with whom you’d like to either have a deeper and more rewarding bond or experience greater love and peace. Alan will then guide you to mentally meet with this person in a special healing space and open your heart to true healing. This powerful, restorative journey is a gift both to yourself and to the person you have in mind, and it will help you move on with your life in a way that’s empowering, loving, and free.

Favorite Principles of Miracles

In this special audio bonus, Alan goes into depth on his most favorite of the first 50 principles of miracles that open the text of ACIM. Some of these you might recognize from the lessons, and others will be completely new; in either case, you will come away with a deeper understanding of the miraculous. As Alan says, “If you could really grasp even one of them deeply, you would master the entire Course in Miracles—that’s how powerful they are.”

Compelling Questions from the Teacher’s Manual

In this special audio bonus, Alan tackles two of the most popular and mystifying questions from the teacher’s manual of ACIM: “How is healing accomplished?” (aka: “Who is the physician?”) and “How will the world end?” Although these topics were touched upon in the lessons, they’re so important to ACIM students’ understanding that Alan has devoted an entire audio to explaining them in depth.
