A Course in Miracles

An Introduction by Moreah Ragusa,
adapted from her book Rediscovering Your Authentic Self: Applying A Course in Miracles to Everyday Life

A Course in Miracles is an internationally acclaimed spiritual text that was scribed over a seven-year period in the late 1960s by Helen Schucman and William Thetford, Professors of Medical Psychology at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, who attributed its authorship to Jesus. Although Christian terminology is used, it is not ascribed the meaning in which it is traditionally understood. Instead, it is used in a way that perfectly upholds love and innocence and the eternally unassailable perfection of both God and the Child of God, the Christ or Sonship, of which Jesus is a part.

Through the Course, we are encouraged to explore the idea that the Christ Mind is within us all and is revealed to be the actual place where all is one.

These teachings have touched my life so deeply, and continue to do so today, that I have committed to make it my life’s work to learn and demonstrate them with each person and every event in my life.

"Miracles are expressions of Love. They undo fear and restore the truth.”

Whenever we feel afraid, guilty, or powerless, it is time to ask for a miracle.  Our reality is love, and in any moment we forget this, we call on the miracle for remembrance of this fact. The request for a miracle is always answered because it is a request for love and truth to be restored to the situation. Whenever we ask for a miracle, the correction of fear and error is sure to follow.

Every expression of love is miraculous because it brings with it the evidence and validation that we are loveable, and deserving of the greatest life has to offer—peace of mind, and joy.

A miracle is a corrective “agent” from which both the recipient and the provider of the miracles receive blessings. They each receive blessings because the miracle restores truth, and thus understanding, to any situation which was hostage to fear, dishonesty, lack, limitation, or illness.
