A Course In Miracles
Introduction
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.
The Public Domain Version of "A Course In Miracles"
I will do some research on the history of ACIM adn also the Public domian legal issues for general reference purposes. WHile respecting the Foundation of Inner Peace for all its work and effort, I also greatly appreciate the miracle that versions of ACIM is now public domain and the information can be used freely and hope that it is used in the spirit of truth and healing that it was intended for.
I ran a daily ACIM email list for a group that I helped to facilitate at the Unity Church in Boulder. This was basically a private list for just my ACIM group (about 100) and friends and family. I would just get up almost every day, type in the acim lesson for the day, and then write a little bit. Then I put a link on my web site to make it easier for the next year's students to join. This also gave people who visited my www.hologram.net web site to also sign up. I have quite a few people from around the world who enjoyed this little tidbits. then one day I got a legal letter from the foundation of inner peace asking me to take their logo off my site (which was just a link to Amazon to sell their version) and to quite sending out portions of the lesson. It was infringing on their copyright. I did explain that it was generally just a private list, and that I wasn't "copying" the whole lesson.... they let it slide. I kept up with the list, then automated it to read online, but then stopped facilitating a few years ago and haven't change the web site in a while.
