A Course in Miracles: Complete & Annotated Edition



A Course in Miracles is a unique spiritual self-study program – a course in mind-training – designed to undo the illusion that you are separate in any way from God or your fellow humans. It is based on the original handwritten notes by scientist and academic Helen Schucman. At the level of the mind we are all united as one. When we learn to live this truth consistently, fear, anger, and guilt give way to a profound sense of inner peace. This revised edition systematically leads you to experience God’s Love in all your relationships through the practice of forgiveness (releasing the past), the willingness to receive and follow higher guidance, and the cultivation of miracle-mindedness. Happiness, peace, joy, and love are the natural outcomes of the Course’s teaching.

In 1965, Dr. Helen Schucman heard an inner voice that would spark the writing of a modern spiritual classic: “This is a course in miracles. Please take notes.” Officially published in 1976, A Course in Miracles has profoundly impacted the lives of millions of students around the globe and continues to grow in popularity each year.

What many students don’t know, however, is that Helen’s original handwritten notes for the Course – which have remained hidden for decades – contain approximately 45,000 words that are not included in the original book. For almost ten years, Course scholar Robert Perry and his colleagues at the Circle of Atonement have worked to carefully transcribe these notes and the result is a new version of A Course in Miracles that – for the first time – contains the source material in its entirety.

Within this Complete and Annotated (CE) edition, readers will not only experience the Course’s wisdom exactly as Dr. Schucman recorded it, but students will also find extensive footnotes that clarify challenging passages plus an appendix of 33 cameo essays that outline ways to apply these teachings in everyday life. An important milestone in the history of A Course in Miracles, the CE edition is a valuable resource for generations of current and future students of this true spiritual masterpiece.



This is the edition of A Course in Miracles that its two scribes, Drs. Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford, authorized for publication by the Foundation for Inner Peace in 1975. It is now available in translation in 27 languages and is widely used by students in thousands of Course study groups around the world.
