Looking To Find Inner Peace

By Bradd Alan


One can consider ACIM or A Course in Miracles as a self-study material that can help individuals to regain peace and built up their mental strength. It also teaches individuals how forgiveness plays an important role in our daily life. It is a book, but doesn't considerably have an author; however one can find it listed in the US library.

Though, the original text of the ACIM is known to be written by Helen Schucman and its assistant William Thetford. She claimed that the inner voice that exclaimed her teachings was Jesus itself. The first ever published ACIM was on 1976, since then it underwent through different revisions and further revised editions were also published. A Course in Miracles is known to have been divided into three parts, the first part is the text or the lessons of life, the second part is a workbook that allows the student to apply the lessons in their life and get its understandings and lastly it has all the frequently asked questions by students or the teaching manual and.

The moment you start looking for the good in you, you start getting more aware of your inner self, get stronger acceptance and more authenticity. You start believing in the qualities that you possess and get closer to the divine essence. Also you start working on yourself to get better and better. Once you start acknowledging the goodness inside you, it further helps you to strengthen your inner self and leads you to the Foundation of inner peace.

You must also remember that looking for the good in yourself, doesn't make you a selfish individual. This simply shows that you are accepting your life as it is and also respect the honourable divine essence in you and also other living beings around you. Also going through the divine in all the individuals supports you to instantly get connected to the inner peace.

Later they also got the opportunity to meet Robert Skutch and Judith Skutch Whitson, members of the Foundation for inner peace. Then in the 1976 the first book was published, both the Foundation and Penguin Book publishers wanted to own the copyright for the material, however due to litigations the first edition of the book is still under public domain.

The Course is considered as a teaching device; of course the learning provided in the Course, is life changing. A Course in Miracles material has been divided into three books, the text which has around 600 pages and the student's workbook where it gets to experience the lessons, and a 90 page teacher's manual for better assessment of the students.

As an individual start to look good in it, it realises that there are several other positive feelings like love in it and becomes more aware of it. The unconditional love that it gets aware of does expand and flow to one other, which another way towards inner peace.

The Course doesn't claim to give an individual all the possible learning however they do give you a start. ACIM tells that the truth is unchangeable and ever-ending; also the world is filled with perception, even interpretation and change too. The perception leads us to the ideas that we believe and we get distracted from the real truth and get away from God.
