What is the purpose of the manual?

Originally published in 1976, A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is the Bible of the “spiritual but not religious” movement. It combines profound spiritual teachings with far-reaching and practical psychological insights. It has changed the lives of millions of people worldwide.

The three-volume Course consists of a Text, laying out the concepts that make up its thought system; a Workbook for Students, prescribing 365 daily lessons designed to train the mind to accept its messages; and a Manual for Teachers, explaining how to extend the teachings to others. The course is not a religion; it says that every spiritual path, including its own, leads to God in the end. It is not intended to replace any other faith, and it clearly states that the goal of forgiveness is not to gain salvation or enlightenment but simply to undo the illusion of separation.

When first published, ACIM was met with widespread disbelief and skepticism. Nonetheless, it captured the minds and hearts of many and inspired a whole generation to find healing through love and forgiveness. Today, millions of people have embraced ACIM and are living happier and more fulfilling lives because of its message.

The Course is a remarkable text that is both intellectually sophisticated and experientially challenging. Its language is poetic and often written in blank verse, reminiscent of some of the world’s great literature. Its metaphysics draws on Christian terminology, but its spiritual themes are more akin to Eastern mysticism than traditional Western religion. It also challenges some of the most widely held beliefs of Christianity, such as its doctrines of sin and crucifixion. As a result, some people call the Course a Christian Vedanta or the Western equivalent of the Hindu scriptures.
