A Course in Miracles works by helping you to shift your mindset. Undoing fear and stepping into love is what ACIM teaches. Your thoughts create your reality and therefore, if you can shift these thoughts from fear to love, your reality will change.
In this article, I'm sharing soothing, comforting quotes from A Course in Miracles on the topics of fear, love and healing that spoke to me, and I hope they do the same for you. 1. “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.”
“Miracles enable you to heal the sick and raise the dead because you made sickness and death yourself, and can therefore abolish both. You are a miracle, capable of creating in the likeness of your Creator. Everything else is your own nightmare, and does not exist.
With the help of Bill Thetford, Ken Wapnick, Robert Skutch, and Judith Skutch Whitson, the Course was compiled, edited, and ultimately published (by the Foundation for Inner Peace) on June 26, 1976. New experience comes from following A Course in Miracles’ intentional and careful structure.
ACIM suggests that time is a story we made up, a game we have agreed to play. An invention of the intellect, time expands or contracts according to the consciousness you hold at any given moment. It is more like rubber than concrete.
A Course in Miracles is a psychological-spiritual path immersed in Love. It brings joy, peace, love, understanding of self and others, spiritual connection to the divine and your inner guidance, and spiritual & psychological wisdom.
In the language of A Course in Miracles, ego means something a little bit different than our common understanding. We think of ego as our own self-esteem or self-worth, hence the popular misinterpretation of my opening quote.
In my mind ACIM Original Edition is the absolute best version for self study, the additional material in the first eight or so chapters is worth having available.

Guilt is a sure sign that your thinking is unnatural. Unnatural thinking will always be attending with guilt, because it is the belief in sin. The ego does not perceive sin as a lack of love, but as a positive act of assault.".
The painful emotion that stems from believing that you have sinned and have thus corrupted your being, making yourself worthy of punishment and unworthy of love. The Course teaches that this belief is false, for your true nature as God’s holy Son is incorruptible.
The activity of the Holy Spirit which shifts our perception from the false to true and thereby grants an unconditional, instantaneous, and free deliverance from the imprisoning (yet illusory) problems of this world. We accept miracles into our own minds, extend them to others (which is the primary meaning of the world in the Course), and thereby recognise that we have received them.
Love. The single emotion of Heaven. In love we view something as so attractive, so compatible with us, that we go out to it, give ourselves to it, and join with it. We can only truly love as God does, Who loves everyone equally and totally.
