{"product_id":"a-course-in-miracles-combined-volume","title":"A Course in Miracles : Combined Volume","description":"A Course in  Miracles is a complete self-study spiritual thought system. As a  three-volume curriculum consisting of a Text, Workbook for  Students, and Manual for Teachers, it teaches that the way  to universal love and peace—or remembering God—is by undoing  guilt through forgiving others. The Course thus focuses on the healing  of relationships and making them holy. A Course in Miracles also  emphasizes that it is but one version of the universal curriculum, of  which there are \"many thousands.\" Consequently, even though  the language of the Course is that of traditional Christianity, it expresses  a non-sectarian, non-denominational spirituality. A Course in Miracles  therefore is a universal spiritual teaching, not a religion.  The \"Text\"  presents the theory of the Course and has built into its study the development  of the experience of forgiveness that is the Course's goal for  the student. In this regard, A Course in Miracles states that \"its  goal for you is happiness and peace.\" (Text, p. 241) (T-13.II.7:1)  The Text also explains the basis for fear and guilt, and how they can  be overcome through miracles, which are defined as maximal \"expressions  of love.\" Miracles are also defined as the shift in perception from  fear to love.  The \"Workbook  for Students\" consists of 365 lessons, an exercise for each day  of the year. This one-year training program begins the process  of changing the student's mind and perception, though it is not intended  to bring one's learning to completion. As stated in the Preface to the  Course, \"At the end, the reader is left in the hands of his or  her own Internal Teacher, Who will direct all subsequent learning as  He sees fit.\" (Preface: ix)  The \"Manual  for Teachers\" is written in question-and-answer form and provides  answers to some of the more likely questions a student might ask. It  also includes clarification of a number of terms the Course uses, explaining  them within the theoretical framework of the Text and for their practical  application through the Workbook.   A Course in  Miracles was \"scribed\" by Dr. Helen Schucman through a  process of inner dictation she identified as coming from Jesus. A clinical  and research psychologist and tenured Associate Professor of Medical  Psychology, she was assisted by Dr. William Thetford, her department  head, who was also a tenured Professor of Medical Psychology at the  Medical Center where they both worked.  A Course in  Miracles was first published in 1975, the year Dr. Schucman assigned  copyright of the Course to the Foundation for Inner Peace (FIP). Since  the beginning and as designated, this Foundation has been its publisher,  disseminator, and copyright\/trademark holder, although in 1999 it assigned  the copyright and trademark to the Foundation for A Course in Miracles  (FACIM). There are currently about one and a half million copies of  the Course in circulation worldwide. Translations in Chinese, Dutch,  German, Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish are also available,  with twelve other translations now in progress.    What exactly,  then, is A Course in Miracles? The summary introduction, which  appears in its Text, is quite succinct and brief. It reads:     \"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.\"","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":40221157949521,"sku":"X13022","price":14.71,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":40221157982289,"sku":"X13022","price":11.77,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":40221158015057,"sku":"X13022","price":10.59,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":40221158047825,"sku":"X13022","price":9.41,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/files\/7103491.jpg?v=1717741732","url":"https:\/\/thryft.sbs\/products\/a-course-in-miracles-combined-volume","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
