A Course in Miracles (The Text; The Workbook; The Manual for Teachers)

This is the 1000+ page treatise on spiritual enlightenment said to have been channelled directly from Christ. In this book, subjects range from the self and forgiveness to health and the afterlife. From the introduction to A Course in Miracles: 'This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.' This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way: Nothing real can be threatened, Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.
