Publisher's summary

First and foremost, A Course in Miracles is a course, an educational program. It is designed to take its students through a process of internalizing its thought system. In this process, we learn to accept into our minds and extend to others what the course calls miracles, which heal the perception of the one receiving them. Each of the course’s three volumes signifies a different phase in this overall process.

(The volumes need not be done in order, but they are arranged in a logical sequence that reflects the overall progression the course seems to expect students to pass through). Volume I: Text is the first, longest, and most important volume. It provides the “theoretical foundation” of the course.

Volume I: Text is a masterpiece of spiritual thought. As it guides us through hundreds of topics, the meanings we have assigned the world begin to fall away, revealing a new meaning in everything. This happens even on the level of language. The course uses familiar terms, but fills them with new meaning, making each term a microcosm of its thought system. As a result, this is not easy to listen to. To reap its rewards, we have to truly engage with it. The course asks us to listen to its words carefully, thinking about what they mean. It asks us to take them personally and treat them as practical, as more than an intellectual game. If we will do this, we will experience our old worldview being slowly dismantled, and a new worldview arising in its place.

Volume I: Text is the first phase of the course’s program. It is here that the course’s thought system initially enters our minds. This is only the beginning of the process, yet it is the foundation for all that follows.

Good!

I was struggling to get time to sit and finish reading my book, as I am a stay at home Mom and I homeschool. This allows me to listen first thing in the morning before the kids get up while I complete tasks that I need to accomplish. The reader was good and clear to understand. Just finished!

Love It

The book contents itself are overwhelming in a good life-changing way for me. I am a committed student of a course in miracles .
I had bought a previous version with a narrator that sounded robotic , to me at least . I tried and tried to keep coming back and listening and getting past the voice of the narrator . But, ultimately I was not hearing the meaning of the words and the story because I was just irritated at the voice . I am grateful to Audible that they. refunded me my credit back .
i sampled a version with music which distracted me as well from the words . I came across this version and I could not be more pleased with the voice of the narrator ! Just a "regular" voice . I am now hearing the
words and story instead of being distracted by a narrators voice that does not work for me .
I am excited to make my way through this book that is so meaningful and will be life-changing for me .

A Masterful performance by Robert Perry!

A Course In Miracles is a masterpiece -- a Heaven-sent blueprint of individual transformation and redemption. There is nothing else like it on earth. It is the Truth in It's clearest, most accessible form.

Robert Perry, a long-time student and teacher of "The Course" has gathered all the "missing" or deleted pieces of the original manuscript, organized and restored them, complete with needed references and footnotes, and endowed us with this edition.

As the narrator, his thorough familiarity with the material, and deep experience of the teaching, shine through. He is not just delivering a piece of text, he is, quite literally, a conduit for the most intimate instruction and personal guidance.

This work is a must for anyone who is serious about "attaining" Divine Consciousness.

There are no words. All good. Life saving.

Everything about this Audible book is exactly what I needed. I had the Audible FIP (blue book). I learned the COA version includes missing texts that were edited out of FIP. Those missing texts help ACIM make so much more sense to me. I am literally eternally grateful.

original text MUCH better

have studied the other versions and after reading this original version straight from Helens handwritten notes, the ACIM makes more sense, more natural, relatable, personal and more friendly. I now realize the difference in energy and feeling each edited version gives off. I definitely prefer this Circle of Atonement version, J feels like an enlightened brother guiding/talking to you,
