Course 401 Reviews
Course 401 really opened my eyes to the importance of looking at relationships as a reflection of what is going on in my mind. The "Clouds in My Relationships" and "Realizing Oneness in a Relationship" exercises helped me experience this truth in a profound way. — R.F.
I experienced how even a seemingly small upset is enough to create a sense of division in my relationships. Realizing how many times and in how many ways I was blocking true intimacy was uncomfortable. I had to see these blocks in order for them to be healed. This awareness brought a deepening commitment. The experience of having the thoughts of judgment washed away cemented my faith. — J.C.
It was extremely liberating to let go of some of my ego-based ideas. I found myself walking with much more love and understanding.

This course is a reminder that we are making it all real. The most valuable thing I gained came after experiencing the “receiving a message from your inner Star Child” meditation. It deepened my understanding. I was able to see that it is all a forgiveness lesson. I merely need to change my perception. Star Child is just a metaphor. — S.C.
The voice of the innocent Star Child is the same as the voice of the Holy Spirit. It’s uncanny how much of what I’m learning in the course seems to be an exact parallel of my life. — J.M.
Inner transformation seemed to happen without me consciously knowing. The experience of love brought tears to my eyes on many occasions. Truly amazing to experience that Love inside me, regardless of what was happening, was the most beautiful thing. — J.C.

This course had a very direct, basic and profound effect on me. I loved it. It helped me clarify many concepts with which I have struggled for a very long time. — E.K.
When we live the Sacred Life we don't hold onto the past. We can no longer use it as a way to predict the future, so the adventure is the holy instant all the time.

This course helped me further open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It helped me soften even more both in my relationships and in every day circumstances. I gained so much serenity. It had great impact on my state of mind and my level of anxiety. All of the practices, meditations and content provided great comfort. It had immeasurable value to me. — A.R.L.
The letter from my true Self was powerful and life-changing. I find myself writing letters daily now. It’s leading me to greater depths of love, forgiveness, and peace. My relationships are all transforming before my eyes. This was by far the most transformative course for me. — T.R.
It was helpful working with the Observer Self and seeing how trance scripts creep in when I'm not aware. I learned to observe thought patterns and to not automatically believe them. As this course steadily reinforced this practice, I noticed more frequently how easily I can fall into the temptation of making old scripts real. — J.C.
Course 901 Reviews
I have done the ACIM lessons many times and read the text as well. But stopping to focus on specific sections gave them new meaning to me. They felt more powerful and had more of an effect on me. Taking time to write specific sections down strengthened the ideas and concepts. It helped to embed them deeper into my consciousness. I absolutely loved the format of this course. Each day I did this course had a profound effect on my frame of mind. It had a wonderful effect on my spirit. It truly opened my heart and my mind. — A.R.L.
This course taught me good guidelines for practice, application and communication of ACIM. The meditations, remember cards and opening prayer were all a great help in quieting my mind and preparing to hear the Voice for God. Having a Mind Healing Partner brought clarity and depth to my learning experience. It deepened my awareness for the need of learning “together.” — L.J.

Step 3: Bringing Inner Guidance to Your Relationships
301: Christ Vision
Come back to the awareness of your perfect wholeness with Christ Vison. Learn how, with your thoughts and beliefs, you are writing your book of life, your holy book. In a guided meditation, you will learn how to rewrite your holy book of life with the help of unlimited, all-knowing Christ Vision. This rewriting will help you transform your life through correction rather than self-condemnation. In this course we will be working with the essence of awakening training. Experiential processes will help you move past the outer form to Christ's perfect Love.
- Put yourself in the perfect environment for healing fear, guilt and self-punishment.
- See through the illusionary forms as you practice allowing Christ Vision to move you to think of yourself as one with all, encompassing all humanity in Love.
- Work with Christ Vision to see a person or situation in your life differently, from a perspective of oneness.
With Christ Vision, you are knocking on the door of the greatest force of Inner Light there is. The door opens and you recognize the Light and Love you feel as your own.

This was a gentle reminder to refocus my thoughts. I am the creator of my own heaven or hell. I am powerful in Christ.
The "Christ Vision" meditation is one of the best meditations I have ever heard. This course is just what I need at this point in my life. Thank you.
It was important for me to realize that it is my thoughts that write my life. I need to be aware of them in the "now" if I am going to ask for help to change my perspective.
I got in touch with Holy Spirit and was shown how to deal with my relationship with my oldest son. I learned that I have an attachment to the stimulation of fear, competition, blame, etc., and that this is my payoff for not doing what is in my deepest best interest.
This course makes it so clear that we write our own stories and that we can rewrite every part that needs rewriting. Most importantly, this course shows us how to do this. It left me speechless with just feelings — feelings of the Christ Spirit alive within me. It was a truly healing experience.
Wow! Shazamm! Right at the beginning of this course I had a very healing experience with the first meditation. I feel a greater awareness of the nearness of Christ Vision and what I can let go to open up to it more. This course was alive with Love.
401: The Synergy of Intimate Relationships
All of us are searching for intimacy, companionship and nurturing. You may ask, "Why have I had such difficulty with intimate relationships in my life?" We find the keys in our own self-worth issues and our willingness to be intimate with ourselves.
Intimacy is a peak experience. We intuitively recognize that "in-to-me-see" is essential to growth and the enhancement of self-worth. In this course you will learn the answers to common questions such as: What is intimacy, and how do I recognize it? How do I know if I can handle a truly intimate relationship? How can I prepare for it?
In this course, you will see how we each draw to us the relationships we need to show us the beliefs and attitudes that are keeping us stuck, that are blocking our path to the Light within. You will look at the roadblocks you put in the way of intimacy and how to move past them.
With the help of experiential processes and meditations, you will look at troublesome situations in your life and see how to transform these situations with the help of the all powerful force of Love that is within you. You will see how it feels when you are playing the "separation game" by focusing on differences, and how to change that to the "Oneness game" by looking past differences to the innate goodness in others.

I feel this was an opening in experiencing intimacy in relationships.
This course was very enriching and enlightening. It really drives home the point that what we see in others is actually what we see in ourselves. I saw that Spirit brings relationships into our lives for lessons we are to learn or give.
Since I have just embarked on a new intimate relationship, this course was extremely helpful. Rather than pulling back or running away when my fears and insecurities rise up, I can now see this person as an opportunity to see myself and I can ask to have my mind be healed.
This was a very powerful and profound course for me. I am now looking at intimacy in a different way. It helped show me some aspects of myself I didn't even know were there.
This course was very deep and profound. I now see the ways that I project my issues and feelings outward. What I see is a reflection of my "state of mind" at the time! It was moving and heartfelt.
210: Star Child — Seeing the Innocence Within
The Star Child is that childlike essence within you, that energy of Love which pierces through the confusion and brings clear vision into your life. Star Child lightly and gently helps you let go of struggle. It is your inner Comforter, your innocent Self.
You will be led on a guided journey to become aware of the reality of your inner Star Child. You will be able to ask for and receive insight on questions of importance to you.
- Practice letting go of limiting, nonproductive self-talk.
- Gain a detached perspective of people, situations and issues in your life, allowing you to see your loved ones from a higher perspective.
- Get in touch with a deeper level of peace.
Your inner Star Child will help you experience a feeling of invulnerability and trust. You will become less fear-driven and more led by Love as you allow your Star Child to help you loosen your grip on the game of illusions in this world. Your Star Child will joyfully expand your awareness to be deceived no more, to wake up from your dream of separation.

The meditations in this course were particularly helpful to me. I am learning to trust in taking all my fears to the Source within.
I was able to look within in a simple way. As the gentleness healed my heart, new insights surfaced about my relationships, especially in working with clients.
This course reminded me to focus on what's important to my soul. Most things of this world are not important to my soul. It encouraged me to see from my soul's perspective.
I really felt the course opened me to a new sense of freedom — a deeper level of understanding the freedom I have within me. I loved the insights I received from the processes and meditations.
I appreciated the idea of letting go in stages. The Star Child image encourages a letting down of defenses. It is nonthreatening.
Star Child is a helpful concept that makes it easier to accept our true Divinity. I especially appreciated the feelings of love, innocence and power of truly being a child of God.
I remembered to lighten up. The only big deal is to remember there are no big deals. Also remembering that power does not mean force. Power is the confidence and steadiness of Star Child to look past illusions with gentleness. This is about my fourth time through this course. I'm getting it! It is so incredible, no, so perfect, to keep learning at deeper and lighter levels every time.
201: Adventure into the Sacred Life — Introduction to Spiritual Ministry
Self-realization comes when we acknowledge our true purpose and have the courage to follow it. Many have found that when they help others, they help themselves. There is no greater act of self-empowerment than that of empowering another. A sacred life, dedicated to remembering the truth about ourselves and others, is the fast track to true, lasting happiness. The sacred life begins when you transcend the duality of me/you and no longer see yourself as separate from others.
This course examines the inner drive and motivations to serve the awakening. It will explore both the potential pitfalls and enormous personal rewards of choosing spiritual service as a pathway of return to your Source. The quality of your passage in the sacred life depends on the clarity of your intention. In the sacred life, you serve as a bridge which connects yourself and others with the All. You transcend your separate identity, reunite with your Self and act as a channel for God's healing.
This course will provide keys to being your true Self, so you can be a more effective facilitator, counselor and friend. It is for all who wish to experience a deeper awareness of Infinite Love in their lives.

I reached for and received a clearer perspective, a vision, of what it means to live a Sacred Life. I have yearned for some tools to remember to bring forth and remain in sacredness in all that I do. I am beginning to get it! And I am loving it. I am honored to be involved and part of this ministry training. R.S.
It taught me that I can have compassion for the pain associated with separation without having to feed into it. This was another fantastic course that I would like to take again.
This course had a very direct, basic and profound effect on me. I really loved it and found it very helpful in clarifying many concepts with which I have struggled with for a very long time.
Incredibly helpful. I had more insights today than ever before! All the meditations brought me to a deeper awareness of my Inner Guidance. I felt a new level of growth.
I realized that my own perceptions of self-limitations prevent me from really loving people. I saw how I hold back from giving because of feelings of "not enough," or feeling unlovable.
201: Adventure into the Sacred Life is a great course! Very helpful meditations and study materials. I'm learning so much. I really feel a shift in my life.

I want to facilitate this course often so others can experience the peace and unconditional love for others like I now can more readily do with the knowledge of this course. Thank you.
With faith in Spirit, I am not alone as I recognize and release addictions and habit patterns of behavior that no longer serve me. I found that my observer self sees things very differently from my reactive self. Tension in my body is a great indicator. All relationships serve a higher purpose.
I was able to look within in a simple way. As the gentleness healed my heart, new insight surfaced about my relationships, especially working with clients.
I marvel at how well the course is put together, how pertinent it is to my daily living.
The Softening Technique is very helpful in my stressful job. I learned how to identify the trance scripts in my head and not attach to them. I really enjoyed the processes, and will use them often.
The most valuable thing I gained in this course is the incredible lesson to be absolutely quiet and just listen for as long as it takes. The connection I felt with Spirit and my partner was awesome.
This course provides concrete, practical ways of re-patterning trance scripts from my past. The processes are very useful. I want to do them with my partner at home.
901: Introduction to Miracles Practice
A Course in Miracles is all about forming and reinforcing the practice of receiving and extending miracles. This is the journey Home. This is the core of our reawakening to the strength and peace of God that has never left us. We have just temporarily covered It up by putting our faith in the false ideas of believing in bodies. Accepting the miracle, which is the correction of our perception, comes with our willingness to receive the truth of our true Identity in God as universal, undivided Love. This means being willing to let go of the idea that we are separate from the oneness of God. The miracle is what we receive in our mind as we let our belief in weakness, limitation and separation be replaced by our eternal reality as Love.
This course is all about allowing ourselves to form and reinforce the daily practice of receiving and extending miracles. With the Holy Spirit, we allow ourselves to see the false ideas for what they are and allow Him to bring us the vision of true perception. In forming this daily miracles practice, we allow our confused minds to be healed of our belief in weakness, limitation and darkness. We are persistent and diligent in continuing and strengthening this daily miracles practice. We want to return Home and we have the means to do it.

It was very helpful to study one theme in depth, drawing upon ideas from different parts of ACIM and seeing a common thread that ties them together. The passages in the study material were very helpful and beautifully conveyed ACIM's core principles in an easier to understand language. The concrete guidelines for how to connect with the Holy Spirit were especially helpful. It was truly life changing!
The processes were excellent tools to help me see miracles, to see with Christ's vision.
I feel that I received a deep healing. It was very profound in helping me to understand ACIM at a very deep level. Working through the course, Holy Spirit gave me a gift of deep peace.
The reading material and interaction with my Mind Healing Partner brought a new level of awareness to me. It gave me valuable tools I can refer back to on a regular basis whenever I begin to experience illusions of fear and separation.
This course helped me see more clearly where I have obstacles or blocks that keep miracles from my awareness and what it would mean to remove them. I experienced an opening in my mind where Holy Spirit leads me to the miracle of joining with the One Mind.
Now I can laugh with Holy Spirit at the stories I made up about being separate from God, separate from Love. I feel more willing to turn any discomfort or lack of peace over to the Holy Spirit to receive His "happy dream" in exchange. As we moved more deeply into the material, I felt a great sense of joy, hope and peace that I can open to the help of the Holy Spirit.

The course material was very specific about an aspect of ministerial work I thought would be more difficult.
I really appreciate having all of these samples of different ceremonies that others have created in an organized Spiritual ceremonies reference book. I feel more confident about performing ceremonies now with this training.
I found this course to be very complete. In the 220 notebook there are many beautiful ceremonies for a great diversity of occasions, from weddings and memorial services to baptisms and candle lighting services. The Ceremony Planning Questionnaire is a great tool for helping me work with people in creating their own unique ceremony.
This course answered specific, detailed questions about weddings. I also appreciated the practice in performing and developing spiritual ceremonies for people. I now understand what makes spiritual ceremonies memorable and meaningful to the participants. This is an important part of my ministry training. I loved it!
Yes! Yes! Yes! This course was incredibly helpful in learning how to create and perform or facilitate spiritual ceremonies. It was so valuable to experience creating ceremonies that can make life changes, celebrations and rituals very meaningful and personal.
