A Miracle Is The Choice To Love Rather Than Fear. Lastly, recognize that you are making this choice of atonement every day. A miracle, according to the course, is simply the act of choosing to respond with unconditional love. There is no order of difficulty in this, which simply means there are no large or small miracles.
When you choose always to respond to the world with love, you enter into a peaceful experience and an ecstatic life. This is the kingdom of heaven.
The illusions you see before you are constructions of your mind, as your mind creates meaning and interpretation to your experience. So long as you insist on developing your own judgments, you will be unable to see the universal love-energy that is already before you.
You are probably not used to thinking of yourself as God, nor are you used to thinking that everything is love. After all, you can point to clear examples of hatred or fear in your world, and perhaps even in your own life.
Anyone who has ever opened A Course In Miracles knows that the book is not exactly a light read. The language is extremely dense and often technical, referring to a number of Biblical ideas and terms in a way most people haven’t ever seen before. If you were to judge by the writing style alone, the course seems almost impossible to decipher, ...

A Course in Miracles is the name of a book that was written by a channeled spirit, who claimed to be Jesus. Described as “spiritual psychotherapy”, it’s been widely promoted by Oprah, and as of January 2008, she now has Marianne Williamson, the Course’s leading spokesperson, teaching this “Course” on her world-wide XM radio show.
A Course in Miracles asserts again and again that: A sense of guilt for having done “wrong” is an illusionary invention of our own minds, and is to be downplayed or overlooked as much as possible.
Text page 158, Line 2 – “The reality of everything is totally harmless, because total harmlessness is the condition of it’s’ reality.”
EVEN FOR THE NON-CHRISTIAN, THE VERY REAL DANGER of studying “A Course in Miracles” can clearly be seen in what the Course asks you to believe: Claiming that physical life on Earth is really just a “nightmare” the collective human race is having while in a state of psychic sleep, (text pg. 18 and throughout) the Course teaches that: everything you see around you is an illusion, (lesson #14 and throughout) that sin and guilt are not real but, “solely an invention in your own mind” (lesson #70) that, you can neither hurt others, nor be hurt (text pg. 96 and throughout) … that “ you can and should deny any belief that error can hurt you” … the false promise that: if you see your neighbor as sinless, “ you will be released entirely from all effects of sin” (text pg. 474) that “ the reality of everything is total harmlessness” (text pg. 158) … that you alone are the sole cause of anything hurtful that’s ever happened to you (lesson #23, #304, and throughout) … that, “ The world you see has nothing to do with reality. It is of your own making, and it does not exist.” (lesson #14 and throughout)
This is unfortunate, because many of the Church’s most trusted Catholic leaders-such as Fr. Mitch Pacwa and Fr. Benedict Groeschel - (Who has been quoted as saying, “A Course in Miracles has served to undermine authentic Christianity, more than just about any other work I can recall.”) — have warned the faithful for years, to stay away from this false teaching for the following reasons:
The teachings of A Course in Miracles have FAILED many, if not all, of the standard “tests of discernment” the Church has used for centuries, to distinguish a true and Godly spirit from a false one.
I’ve publicly stated my opinion, that “You cannot study A Course in Miracles without seriously jeopardizing your faith, and putting your mental, physical, and spiritual health at risk.”
