Non Duality Teachers and the Belief in the World.

The Awakening path and the teachings of all non duality teachers comprise a system of thought that points to a fundamental intrinsic oneness of mind—an experience of pure Awareness without separation.

If the goal of Awakening is for an experience of pure awareness or oneness, then the world of form seen as separate objects must be an expression of duality. Anything that reinforces this will cover over the oneness that you are. David Hoffmeister, one of the most consistent and clearest contemporary teachers of non-dualism has been saying for a quarter of a century that the world is a “distractive device” for the mind. A life busy manipulating the world while trying to discover who you are, will not work. But there is something inside of you that intuitively knows oneness is real! David Hoffmeister, one of the many western non duality teachers, has consistently taught the whole untainted picture of the Awakening journey. His gentle manner and happy tune is a delight for those whose eyes have grown tired of the bustling activity of the world’s ways.

We are one and we are not separate. Yet, to be able to discover the reality of our awakened living presence, we will have to question everything that we hold valuable.

A Course in Miracles

A Course in Miracles

A Course in Miracles is a vibrant non-dual program to heal and awaken the mind. For me, after decades of seeking, it was the answer to the deepest call of my heart. It brought clarity to the seeming discrepancies between it and the Judeo-Christian theology I was born into, and is a very clear and practical program for undoing all the blocks to awakening to your true identity—to Oneness.

A Course in Miracles works directly with the mind to release all thoughts of judgment, guilt, sickness, fear, and death (the ego thought-system) through forgiveness and miracles. This mind-training program brings you into a deeper relationship with your internal teacher, so it can guide you through this cleansing and purifying process. This returns the mind back to its natural, awakened state.

With willingness to question every thought and value that I hold, A Course in Miracles promises that its teachings cannot fail! I am blown wide-open with gratitude and love for this book and for the clear teachings of David Hoffmeister.  They are unwinding me from the cruel and harsh belief in a world of victims and victimizes that I perceived, to a new way of seeing, and of being more consistently aware, joyful, and at peace!

A Course in Miracles Online

"A Course in Miracles is a modern-day program for healing the Mind, removing all judgment, learning to trust the Higher Self/Holy Spirit/Intuition, and coming to consistent Peace of Mind."

–David Hoffmeister

The Course was initially scribed and typed up during the years of 1965–1972 by two professors of Medical Psychology at Columbia University: Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford. With the aid of Ken Wapnick, Robert Skutch, Judith Skutch Whitson, and philanthropist Reed Erickson, "the Course" was published on June 26, 1976 (by the Foundation for Inner Peace) and has gone on to sell over 3 million copies in 25+ languages.

What Is A Course in Miracles? 

A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is a self-study program with a unique approach, designed to bring a consistent state of happiness and peace to the student through the application of its principles. These principles can seem radical and "not of this world." However, this uncompromising approach is very effective for those looking to heal abandonment, victimhood, and any other seeming lifelong issues.

Following the intentional and careful structure laid out in A Course in Miracles leads inevitably to an experience beyond words. As the Course states, "A universal theology is impossible, but a universal experience is not only possible but necessary. It is this experience toward which the course is directed." C-in.2:5-6 The simplicity of this statement becomes evident through the study of the Course.

The practice of A Course in Miracles Online can be like climbing a ladder. Each rung represents a new realm of understanding where beautiful pearls of wisdom have more depth the higher one climbs. Another simple, yet profound theme, from the introduction of ACIM:

"This Course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way:Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.Herein lies the peace of God." In-2

A Course in Miracles is comprised of three books: the Text, the Workbook for Students, and the Manual for Teachers. It also includes a glossary-style "Clarification of Terms" and two pamphlets (supplements).
