where did a course in miracles come from
A Course in Miracles A Course in Miracles (also referred to as ACIM or the Course) is a 1333 page book containing a self-study curriculum which claims to assist its readers in achieving spiritual transformation. The underlying premise of the work is the teaching that the greatest "miracle" that one may achieve in one's life, is the act of simply gaining a full "awareness of love's presence" in one's own life.[1] The book was written by Helen Schucman who claimed that it had been dictated to her via "inner dictation" which came to her from Jesus.[2][3] Portions of the book were transcribed and edited by William Thetford. The book contains a curriculum to bring about what it calls a "spiritual transformation". The book consists of three sections entitled "Text", "Workbook" and "Manual for Teachers". Written from 1965 to 1972, some distribution occurred via photocopies before a hardcover edition was published in 1976 by the Foundation for Inner Peace.[4] The copyright and trademarks, which had been held by two foundations, were revoked in 2004[4] after lengthy litigation because the earliest versions had been circulated without a copyright notice.[5][6]
Miracle on Ice The "Miracle on Ice" refers to a medal-round game during the men's ice hockey tournament at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, played between the hosting United States, and the four-time defending gold medalists, the Soviet Union.
