Thank you for viewing this blog.
This blog considers A Course in Miracles (ACIM, channeled by Helen Schucman and William Thetford), A Course of Love (ACOL, channeled by Mari Perron and viewed by some as a sequel to A Course in Miracles), and similar readings.
Celia Hales is the administrator and writer. I am a veteran student of A Course in Miracles, with more than 30 years of study. A former religion librarian at the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities, I now live with my husband in Oxford, Mississippi.

History of the Blog
Note: To locate postings for specific months, see “Archives” in the sidebar.
Beginning on January 1, 2012, I am re-posting revised reflections for the earliest days of this blog, before it was available in search engines. The passages selected for postings were what I consider some of the very best material in A Course in Miracles; most of the passages are from the Textbook and the Manual, with a few from the Workbook for Students.
For 2011, I considered the Workbook for Students of A Course in Miracles. To bring up a given workbook lesson, type ACIM Workbook Lesson x. Alternatively, you can enter the month and date about which you are interested; for example, January 1 (leave off the year). These reflections were normally published daily to cover the 365 lessons in this volume. The two missing segments, March 20 – April 2 and July 6 – July 17, will be published on these dates during 2012.
From May 22 to December 31, 2010, I considered “A Treatise on the New” from the Treatises of A Course of Love (the second volume in the trilogy).
My reflections from April 1 to May 14, 2010, are on the “Forty Days and Forty Nights,” readings that end the third and concluding volume in the series, the Dialogues of A Course of Love.
Prior to April 1, 2010, the postings were all on A Course in Miracles. The Manual for Teachers was considered from January 5 to March 30, 2010.
A Course in Miracles
A Course in Miracles was first published in 1975, and a second edition came out in 1992. It was co-scribed by Helen Schucman and William (Bill) Thetford. There are three parts to the Course: a textbook, a workbook, and a manual for teachers. There is no prescribed order in which the parts must be read. A Course in Miracles is published by the Foundation for Inner Peace, and the Course is widely available in book stores internationally and on the Internet. It has been translated into a number of languages.
The notations to the Course are given as follows: T=Text, WB=Workbook, M=Manual. There are two supplementary readings, referenced as follows: PPP=Psychotherapy, SP=The Song of Prayer.
A Course of Love
One reading of a similar nature is A Course of Love (c2001), channeled by Mari Perron and viewed by some to be a sequel to A Course in Miracles. Its current publisher is “Course of Love Publications,” available on the Internet. This series of three volumes should be read in order: A Course of Love (original volume); the Treatises of A Course of Love; and the Dialogues: Coming to Voice.

This book has short reflections that were inspired by A Course in Miracles. Because this book is based on my journal, it is more personally written than anything in “Blog: A Course in Miracles & More.” The book identifies the relationship of self to Self, self to others, and self to God. The parts are described as follows: (1) identification of the self; (2) learning through relationships; and (3) returning to our Source.
All book chapters can be accessed individually through a sidebar that gives the chapter titles.
OUT OF THE MAZE

This book, also based on A Course in Miracles, gives a personal interpretation of ACIM that concentrates, in three parts, on the following: (1) the ego as defined by ACIM, (2) special vs. holy relationships, and (3) guidance through the Holy Spirit.
All book chapters can be accessed individually through a sidebar that gives the chapter titles.
Thank you for your visits.

/ October 5, 2011Celia, I have read all three books of A Course Of Love as well as all of ACIM… Any ACIM person really needs to be open to ACOL as I feel it has helped me to get out of my head and respond to Love more from my heart joined with my mind – wholehearted… We have a Wednesday night Dialogue Call you should join us sometime.

/ October 6, 2011Dear Greg,
Mari did tell me about your group, as you had requested that she do. I thought at the time I inquired that she was in on the conversation, but I learned that this is not the case. So I wrote to thank her, but told her that I would like to wait until she was part of a Dialogue group.
Thank you for the invitation. I am currently rereading all the books of A Course of Love, in preparation for writing postings in the spring of 2012, probably for a treatise (though I am open to the original volume as a possibility).
Most cordially, Celia
