[quote:Anonymous Coward 640562:MV83Njc1MjlfMTE3OTYzNzFfNEFCOEFDNTg=] There is a lot of good stuff in it. (yes I am skimming it), but still too bossy for me, and downright heretical in some spots. I want to defy gravity and fly. This course does not address this, but tells me that if I get sick it is my own fault.-That a person would choose to be sick to defend yourself from truth. I never liked ideas that blame sick or poor people for thier circumstances. [/quote]

Hmmm. So the background on A Course in Miracles, from the way that I understand it, is that this woman & her friend/collegue, who had important acedemic careers, took mental dictaion from The Holy Spirit and created this Course in Miracles.
The thing that I don't like about it so far, is that they tell you to only look-at one lesson a day, and the course is designed to last exactly one year.
One lesson per day.
The 1st lesson pretty much says, "everything you see is what you think it is." or something like that.
It is kind-of bossy. I don't know if I want to commit an entire year to this unless I can read the whole thing maybe.
But I feel like I'd be breaking some kind-of rule.
And why should I even follow rules that I don't understand??
Anybody do this course over the course of a year?
What if I told myself that time is not real or what I think it is and speed-through?
