Publisher's summary

The Manual for Teachers is Book 3 of 4 (three books and one supplement) of the A Course in Miracles series. A Course in Miracles is also known as "the Course" or ACIM. Scribed by Dr. Helen Schucman, it is a self-study course that aims to assist listeners, readers, and students in achieving spiritual transformation. ACIM presents a purely non-dualistic philosophy of forgiveness and includes practical lessons and applications for the practice of forgiveness in one's daily life. As its title implies, A Course in Miracles is arranged throughout as a teaching device. It consists of three books: Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers. The order in which students choose to use the books, and the ways in which they study them, depends on their particular needs and preferences. Two supplements to the Course, "Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process, Practice" and "The Song of Prayer", are also included as part of ACIM.

The curriculum the Course presents is carefully conceived and is explained, step by step, at both the theoretical and practical levels. It emphasizes application rather than theory, and experience rather than theology. Although Christian in statement, the Course deals with universal spiritual themes. It emphasizes that it is but one version of the universal curriculum. There are many others, this one differing from them only in form. They all lead to God in the end.

Book 1: Text is largely theoretical, and sets forth the concepts on which the Course's thought system is based. Its ideas contain the foundation for the lessons in Book 2, the Workbook for Students. Without the practical application the Workbook provides, the Text would remain largely a series of abstractions which would hardly suffice to bring about the thought reversal at which the Course aims.

Book 2: Workbook for Students includes 365 lessons, one for each day of the year. It is not necessary, however, to do the lessons at that tempo, and one might want to remain with a particularly appealing lesson for more than one day. The practical nature of the Workbook is underscored by the introduction to its lessons, which emphasizes experience through application rather than a prior commitment to a spiritual goal.

Some of the ideas the Workbook presents you will find hard to believe, and others may seem to be quite startling. This does not matter. You are merely asked to apply the ideas as you are directed to do. You are not asked to judge them at all. You are asked only to use them. It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and will show you that they are true.

Book 3: 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 a clarification of a number of the terms the Course uses, explaining them within the theoretical framework of the Text. The Course makes no claim to finality, nor are the lessons in its Workbook for Students intended to bring the student's learning to completion. At the end, the listener is left in the hands of his or her own Internal Teacher, Who will direct all subsequent learning as He sees fit.

Supplements to ACIM, "Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process, Practice" and "The Song of Prayer," were scribed by Dr. Helen Schucman, as was A Course in Miracles, and are extensions of its principles.

Deeply moving transformational fantastic

The text is finally and for once the word of God it does not offer ultimate truth it is the way home to ultimate truth that we can understand at this level.
The narrator is at once impassioned and sublime and I don't believe that his job could have been done better than he did it

Start with the Manual for teachers first

It may not work for everyone, but I found Manual for teachers comprehensible and comprehensive. In four hours we get a taste of A Course in Miracles. I am continuing with the Text and the Workbook, but will come back to the Manual again and again. Highly recommended!

indescribable...

This is the most difficult book that I have ever had to accept . It isn't about the course it is about what starts happening as you live by its teachings. It seems to have a spiritual companion that goes with it .

A very interesting look at how we perceive

As you read this book and do the lessons contained within it you will begin to change and grow. After reading over a 100 books concerning spiritual matters and spiritual growth I found this book very helpful in that growth. I used this book to reinforce the ebook edition to reinforce what I’ve read. I do this a lot with books of this nature.

Once you grasp the fundamentals of this book you'll come to understand the nature of reality. I found once I began to see the illusions I created in my life for what they were I began to see my life change for the better. It took me talking to someone about the illusions in their life to have it all fall into place. Now I have it! I have work to do which I will complete!

For the most part I really don’t know how to explain this book without going very deep into it and therefore all I can say is to read it. This book is for ‘teachers’ to help others get through the lessons in the course of miracles by giving a little more insight to help another.

I recommend you read this book and listen to it to get the most from it as no review can never really express the book as they’re someone else’s perception of a book.

change your life!

A universal theology is impossible. But a universal experience is not only possible, but necessary. This course helps bring about this experience.
Nothing real can be threatened
Nothing un-real exist
Here-in lies the Peace of God.
If you have the "fear" if God in you, then this is a must read. it will assure your path to Heaven.

The Journey is complete

Transformational ! It is complete in theory and principle.

Respective in nature but valuable in the long run. Time and focus will make the words meaningful.
