What Is A Course in Miracles?

To answer this seemingly simple question, we'll provide a brief answer, a medium-length answer, and a long answer.

Brief answer

A Course in Miracles is a spiritual path. It purpose is to train us to accept and extend the shifts in perception that awaken us to God. It consists of three volumes, which signify the three aspects of its program:

Text: Through studying the teaching, the Course's thought system first enters our mind.

Workbook for Students: Through doing the practice, the Course's thought system penetrates more and more deeply into our mind.

Manual for Teachers: through extending our healed perception to others, the Course's thought system receives its final reinforcement and becomes the only thing in our mind.

Medium-length answer

Read Allen Watson's piece, "A Beginner's Overview of A Course in Miracles."

Long answer

Read Chapter Two of Robert Perry's Path of Light, "What Is A Course in Miracles?"
