This biography of Helen Schucman focuses on the lifetime conflict between her spiritual nature and her ego, and includes excerpts from her recollections, dreams, letters, and personal messages from Jesus -- all never before in print. The book gives a detailed account of Helen's personal experiences of Jesus, her relationship with William Thetford, and her scribing of the Course. The last part contains reminiscences of Helen by Kenneth Wapnick, which draw upon their intimate relationship that spanned the last eight years of her life.
This book provides an in-depth introduction to the principles of A Course in Miracles. It first explains the central ideas in the ego's thought system of sin, guilt, and fear, and its defenses of denial and projection. Next, the Holy Spirit's thought system of forgiveness is explained, showing specifically how it and the miracle undo the ego's chief defense against the Love of God: special relationships. Included also are chapters on the purpose of Jesus' life, and the story of how the Course came to be written.
Resistance, a key concept in learning our lessons of forgiveness, is rarely used in the Course. Yet only it can satisfactorily explain the common paradox of sincerely attempting to learn and live the Course's principles, while, frustratingly, not doing just that. This paradox is explored: the many forms of resistance and their basis in the fear of love; Freud's valuable insights; and the miraclelooking with Jesus without judgment at our investment in maintaining the ego.
This study weaves passages various from A Course in Miracles into a comprehensive theory of time. In three parts, the book first explains the holographic though illusory nature of time. It next discusses the plan of the Atonement, the role of the miracle and forgiveness, and the time collapse they foster. The third part discusses the end of time, and includes the Course's concepts of the real world, the Second Coming, the Last Judgment, and finally God's last step.
Thinking Clearly and Biblically about Eternity, Afterlife, and Death Did you know that the original biblical languages use several words for heaven and hell that mean different things? Did you know that there are different beliefs about how many heavens and hells there are?

Sense and Nonsense about Heaven and Hell by Kenneth Boa—author of spiritual formation bestseller Conformed to His Image—helps you cut through the clutter to see what the Bible really reveals about heaven and hell, salvation, and judgment. In this book, you'll learn: Why Jesus is the only means of understanding heaven or hell. Different biblical words for heaven and hell and what they likely meant to the authors who wrote them. A biblical understanding of whether "the fires of hell" are literal or figurative. What we can and can't know about heaven from what's been revealed in Scripture. A better understanding of God's judgment: who will go where, and why. Get ready for some surprises! This book will help you set aside your preconceptions and pierce through the myths and misinformation to gain an accurate, truly biblical perspective on heaven and hell.
Reflecting the view of A Course in Miracles that "a universal theology is impossible, but a universal experience (love) is not only possible but necessary, " this dialogue was held in the loving spirit of friends respecting their differences and agreeing to disagree. Dr. Wapnick and Rev. Clarke define the differences clearly, showing unequivocally that A Course in Miracles and the Bible are mutually exclusive theologies that can never be integrated into one coherent spirituality. Themes include the origin of the world, Jesus, the Eucharist, and daily life.

This eight-volume set is the end product of a series of classes I conducted at our Foundation's former location in New York. The classes consisted of a line-by-line analysis of the lessons, introductions, reviews, summaries, and the Epilogue. I have considerably enlarged some of the original discussion, supplying additional references to other relevant portions of the Course, the Preface, the two pamphlets, poems from The Gifts of God, and the prose poem "The Gifts of God." This work can thus be seen as a complete Course companion to accompany students on their own journey through the workbook.My purpose in presenting the classes originally, as it remains in this book, was to help students better understand the meaning of the lessons and their place in the curriculum of A Course in Miracles, and most of all, to help students see the importance of applying the daily lessons to their everyday lives. Without such application, the brilliance of Jesus' words is wasted, and they become simply a sterile system of intellectual teachings.This book can be read in at least three ways: 1) straight through, as one would do with the text; 2) different lessons at different times; or 3) one lesson at a time, as a companion to each lesson. I would urge students, however, if they are doing the workbook for the first time, to read the lessons as they are, without my commentary. In other words, as with all my other work on A Course in Miracles, this book is meant to supplement a student's experience of the workbook, not to substitute for the workbook as it was given to us.(Adapted from the Preface)
This introduction to A Course in Miracles discusses the dynamics of the ego and its plan for salvation. It presents the undoing of the ego by the Holy Spirit's forgiveness, discussed as a three-step process. The final section treats these themes in the context of Christianity's teachings on forgiveness, as well as the example of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. This second edition includes a new preface which discusses the use of biblical language in the Course, and an afterword enlarging on the book's discussion of Jesus.
The manual has its place in the curriculum of the Course by virtue of its role in explaining how we should teach this course, which means how we should learn it. Its purpose is to guide us in becoming teachers of God through demonstration. In one way or another, each section is about learning how to accomplish this. This line-by-line presentation of the manual is organized around two major themes and variations of these two themes, thus demonstrating through the use of this musical form the masterful way in which Jesus weaves together his message. The first theme unifies all of the seemingly disparate questions posed in the manual-that of separate versus shared interests. This theme is the core of the Course's concept of forgiveness. It is what makes healing possible, and is also the basis of the important topic in the text: the distinction between form and content. It emphasizes that we are all the same, reflecting the much larger theme of the Oneness of God's Son, and his perfect unity with his Creator and Source. The second theme is equally important-in fact, it would not be possible to learn that our interests are shared without it. It is the key to the practice of the Course: asking the Holy Spirit for help. By asking help of our inner Teacher, we become aware of our wrong-minded thought system. In what the Course refers to as our right mind, the Holy Spirit gently corrects our misperceptions.

Study of the Course is facilitated by understanding its vocabulary. Therefore, this Glossary-Index was prepared as a study guide for students. It includes a summary of the theory of A Course in Miracles with a listing of all major terms in the Course and the two scribed pamphlets Psychotherapy and The Song of Prayer; a glossary of 135 terms, each followed by its important references; and an index of more than 800 scriptural references found in the Course, cross-referenced to the Bible. It is bound as two books in one -- one keyed to the first edition of the Course, and the other keyed to the second edition.
This book explains in the depth the non-dualistic metaphysics of A Course in Miracles, and its integration with living in this illusory world. It demonstrates how the Course resolves the paradox of an imperfect material universe seeming to come from a perfect immaterial Creator. The study is carried out in the context of the Platonic and Gnostic themes that have run through Western intellectual and religious history, and the contrast of these with the Course.
This book discusses the sections in Chapter 19 of the text of A Course in Miracles called "The Obstacles to Peace, " which provide an important summary of the Course's thought system. These four obstacles focus on the ego's attraction to guilt, pain, death, and the fear of God's Love, and their undoing through forgiveness. Interspersed in this line-by-line analysis are references to other passages and sections in the Course that bear on these teachings.
In the waning days of World War I, William K. Dean was brutally murdered, his body hog-tied and dumped in a rainwater cistern on his farm in the quiet town of Jaffrey, New Hampshire. Suspicion quickly fell on Dean's wife, an invalid in the early stages of dementia. Her friends, outraged at the accusations, pointed instead to a former tenant of Dean’s, whom many suspected of being a German spy. Others believed that Dean's best friend, a politically powerful banker and judge, was involved. Deep Water is based on extensive research into the Dean murder, including thousands of pages of FBI documents, Grand Jury testimonies, newspaper accounts, private correspondence, and the archives of the Jaffrey Historical Society.
