The Course In Miracles is a book that offers its readers a beginning look into their relationship with the Divine. The Course in Miracles book is divided into 3 parts, so it's users can use the concepts in their daily lives. The Workbook section is taught worldwide and provocative discussions usually emerge from these classes.
I have been teaching this work for over twenty years and my understanding of the contents keeps evolving all the time. This work is one of the best ways to make peace with your ego while connecting to the Holy Spirit. We find the truth of who we are and our best way to serve ourselves and others through the lessons within the covers of The Course In Miracles book and trainings.
As we explore and create the intention of becoming very clear in our discernment between the ego and the Holy Spirit, we must look closely at the mind and how it works. As we allow the Spirit to come among us, questions are asked, answers come, and experiences are shared. We want to take practical examples from our lives and apply the ideas to them. If we do not use the Course, it is just a book filled with high ideas of metaphysics and theory.
All spiritual teachings are meant to be applied. We need to live the teachings to shift our lives into a loving state. If there are parts of our lives that are not congruent with them then the Course In Miracles will gift you the awareness of where you're not aligned to your truth so your mind can shift to be a demonstration of it. As upsets come up in daily life, as they always do, they can be traced back through the metaphysics, which are meant to be practical and useful.
We must always come back to the awareness that it is our own perception that needs to be healed! Our minds make the decision to heal or not; there is never anything happening in the world of form that causes a change in mind.
There really is only one question that the mind keeps asking over and over on a very deep level: Who am I? The ego asked the first question ever. There was no question in Heaven, there was just Oneness. There have been an awful lot of questions raised since this first question of: Who am I? It was the ego that asked it. The ego wants you to label it- as a man or a woman, you are a son or a father or a brother, you are a sister, a husband, or a wife. You are a construction worker, an engineer, a mathematician, a tennis teacher.
Christ did not ask this question. Jesus Christ had complete certainty in Heaven.
Every other question has come from that first question, including all the questions about the world, about the sub-atomic levels, about science, about philosophy. All the other questions build on top of that first one.
So Who are you? If you would like help discovering your spark of the divine, please join us at www.livingmiraclescenter.org.

Awakening through A Course In Miracles
This review is from: Awakening Through a Course in Miracles (Paperback) I studied A Course in Miracles for 19 years and thought I understood it. But reading Awakening Through A Course In Miracles took me to a much deeper level. What is so different about this book is that the author, David Hoffmeister, has been there and done that. Since his awakening almost two decades ago, David has clarified the message of the Course across the United States and in over 20 foreign countries. He consistently speaks with the wisdom and unconditional love of the Christ Mind.

Do You Sometimes Wonder If the is Devil Real?
Most of the religious text through history have spoken about an outside force that can "trick" you into making bad choices that ruin your life. This concept of the Devil assumes that you can be a victim of circumstances. Let's consider that notion here. What if you are not separate from God in anyway? Then the Devil can have no power over you. The Devil represents fear- a fear in your mind that can be shifted.
