Description

‘A Course in Miracles’ is a book that was transmitted in the 1960’s and 70’s to an American professor of psychology by the name of Helen Schucman, who heard the voice of Jesus Christ speaking to her and was instructed by him to write down what she heard. Her transcriptions were edited and collated by her and a group of friends and became the book ‘A Course in Miracles’ that has subsequently been read and studied by millions of people around the world, spawning a whole new movement of people around the world seeking to understand and apply the true teachings of Jesus.

One of the challenges with studying the Course is that much of it is written in quite formal language using Shakespearean iambic pentameter; another is that its three parts are over 1,200 pages long, but the biggest difficulty people experience is that it explains a thought system - the thought system of the Holy Spirit - that is completely opposite to the thought system of the vast majority of people living in the world, which is a thought system coming from their egos rather than the Holy Spirit. Many people find it too challenging to work through the Course on their own and need the guidance of a teacher who understands the Course better than they do and a forum in which to discuss some of the ideas presented in the Course and ask any questions they may have about it.

Because of this need, Jonathan Quail will be running sessions for students of the Course every second or third Sunday to help them to work through the Course from beginning to end and understand its extremely powerful but for many, difficult-to-grasp, principles. This session is an introductory session where Jonathan will give an overview of the Course and the way the study group will work. If you have ever wanted to read the Course, but feel daunted by the task, this is your opportunity to study it along with other like-minded people and be guided through the process by someone who has who has studied the Course intensively for the last 5 years as well as a number of other books written to explain the Course’s message by various authors, most notably ‘The Disappearance of the Universe’ by Gary Renard, which has been hailed as a work that saves people 20 years of time trying to understand the Course’s true message.
