The Course is the result of the collaboration between two Columbia University psychologists: Dr. William T. Thetford and his colleague, Dr. Helen Schucman. In 1965, Helen experienced what she described as a Voice which spoke clearly in her mind, saying “This is a course in miracles. Please take notes.” With Thetford’s support and assistance in transcribing her shorthand notes, Dr. Schucman took down some 1,500 typewritten pages of A Course in Miracles over a period of seven years. The voice, which spoke through Helen, clearly identified himself as Jesus. The “original edition” is the unabridged volume of the Course as it was completed by Dr. Schucman and Dr. Thetford in 1972 and before further editing had taken place. WHAT IS COURSE IN MIRACLES SOCIETY? Course in Miracles Society [CIMS] is a 501 (c)(3) [non-profit] organization incorporated in 2000 which holds the copyright on A Course in Miracles Original Edition©. It is an international group of Course students and teachers organized to discover, authenticate, and propagate the Divine Teachings of A COURSE IN MIRACLES. As students, we seek to increase our knowledge of Jesus' words and to deepen our experience of His teaching. As teachers, we work to circulate the message of A COURSE IN MIRACLES throughout the world by our words, our deeds, and by the example of our lives. WHY ARE THERE PEARLS ON THE COVER? In the months preceding the beginning of the dictation of A Course in Miracles, Dr. Helen Schucman experienced a series of vivid waking and sleeping dreams. In three of those dreams, she was presented with a book. It was thick and black and had large gold letters on the cover. In one of those dreams, she saw it draped in a strand of pearls. That image is reproduced in the artwork for this edition in homage to Dr. Schucman’s perseverance and dedication to the completion of the Course. There is an ancient symbolism to pearls. From the earliest of times, pearls have been considered miraculous. Unique in all the world of nature, their beauty comes from the most mundane of substances and yet, it is somehow transformed by a living organism into one of the most beautiful objects known to man. And it is the way pearls “play” with light that gives them their fascinating beauty and their almost mythical status. Pearls have become, in other words, an archetypal image of what can happen to the human mind that dedicates itself to perfection, utilizing the hard knocks of daily living as a stimulus to growth. “The Pearl of Great Price”. That which is of such momentous value that you would sell all that you own to possess it. “Pearls of Wisdom” Thoughts which illuminate and simplify one’s thinking, bringing peace and clarity. “A String of Pearls” A veritable chain of wisdom and insights, spreading out and then interweaving as a string of brilliant flashes that lighten up the very dark world around us. A string of pearls is, in other words, the perfect symbol for ~”A Course in Miracles. ”FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/acim.original.edition/ TWITTER: http://www.twitter.com/acim_original

Some rooms you find. This one finds you. Epopteia is the reading room of Galena House, the literary world of author Avery Lane Maxwell. Every book on the shelf is free to read — no account to make, no name it needs from you. The lamp is already lit. And the house reads aloud. The Hearth plays the house's own warm narration beneath the page while you read: pause it, scrub it, let it turn the pages for you. The first chapter of every narrated work is read free; the complete audiobook of Still, by Design. belongs to holders of the Audiobook seat, available from the house. Inside the room: the featured novel and the full shelf, a living feed of photographs from an inn at nine thousand feet, The Amber Thread (the magazine of the house), the House Journal written between arrivals, and a preview of the second book before anywhere else. The room remembers where you stood — on your own device and nowhere else. Physical books, in cloth and paper, are sold out in the world; the signed copies come from the house's own shop.
