WHAT IS A COURSE IN MIRACLES – ORIGINAL EDITION?

The Course is the result of the collaboration between two Columbia University psychologists: Dr. William Thetford and his colleague, Dr. Helen Schucman.

In 1965, Helen experienced what she described as a Voice that spoke clearly in her mind, saying “This is a course in miracles. Please take notes.” With Thetford’s support and assistance in transcribing her shorthand notes, Dr. Schucman took down some 1,500 typewritten pages of A Course in Miracles over a period of seven years.

As she often explained, she heard a kind of inner dictation and felt compelled to write it down, even though at times she disagreed with the content and resisted the process. The voice, which spoke through Helen, clearly identified himself as Jesus.

The "original edition" is the unabridged volume of the Course as it was completed by Dr. Schucman and Dr. Thetford in 1972 and before further editing had taken place.

WHAT IS COURSE IN MIRACLES SOCIETY?

Course in Miracles Society [CIMS] is a 501 (c)(3) [non-profit] organization incorporated in 2000 which holds the copyright on A Course in Miracles Original edition©. It is an international group of Course students and teachers organized to discover, authenticate, and propagate the Divine Teachings of A COURSE IN MIRACLES.

As students, we seek to increase our knowledge of Jesus' words and to deepen our experience of His teaching.

As teachers, we work to circulate the message of A COURSE IN MIRACLES throughout the world by our words, our deeds, and by the example of our lives.

WHY ARE THERE PEARLS ON THE COVER?

In the months preceding the beginning of the dictation of A Course in Miracles, Dr. Helen Schucman experienced a series of vivid waking and sleeping dreams. In three of those dreams, she was presented with a book. It was thick and black and had large gold letters on the cover. In one of those dreams, she saw it draped in a strand of pearls.

That image is reproduced in the artwork for this edition in homage to Dr. Schucman’s perseverance and dedication to the completion of the Course.

There is an ancient symbolism to pearls. From the earliest of times, pearls have been considered miraculous. Unique in all the world of nature, their beauty comes from the most mundane of substances, and yet, it is somehow transformed by a living organism into one of the most beautiful objects known to man.

And it is the way pearls "play" with light that gives them their fascinating beauty and their almost mythical status. Pearls have become, in other words, an archetypal image of what can happen to the human mind that dedicates itself to perfection, utilizing the hard knocks of daily living as a stimulus to growth.

"The Pearl of Great Price".

That which is of such momentous value that you would sell all that you own to possess it.

"Pearls of Wisdom"

Thoughts that illuminate and simplify one’s thinking, bringing peace and clarity.

“A String of Pearls”

A veritable chain of wisdom and insights, spreading out and then interweaving as a string of brilliant flashes that lighten up the very dark world around us.

A string of pearls is, in other words, the perfect symbol for ~"A Course in Miracles."

Adding: Thanks for the super quick reply!! 2024 edited. Notifications are no longer working. Is this app been maintained? Almost perfect! Understood that the content has to be online. However, it should remember the last place read instead if having to reselect it every time the app is opened. Perhaps set a beginng date for the Workbook and open the Lesson of the day. Thanks! ....

The APP is being worked on right now and the Notifications are being fixed. In the meantime, the BOOKMARK feature is currently the best way to resume. (To set the BOOKMARK, just click the Bookmark symbol at the top center of the screen you are on. Then when you want to go back to it, go to SETTINGS | BOOKMARKS.)

I purchased this app because I loved the idea of being able to take notes and the layout looked really nice (which it is). However, the note-taking section is extremely UNuser-friendly in that it is very difficult to scroll either up or down to make edits and changes, or to see any more than a few lines to see where you are. Extremely disappointing. Also, as another reviewer said, not having any bookmark, or way to go back to where you left off, is ridiculous in such a huge text and makes each day a case of re-reading volumes to find your last read. Yes, I could make a note somewhere but surely a bookmark or "go back to most recently read" options are not too much to ask? Also it would be nice to have a speed up/down option on the audio reader as it's so slow I literally fall asleep when listening. Having spent money to buy the app, which I never do normally, I'd like to see the first 2 things at least sorted out...

NOTES are mostly for highlighting phrases & noting quick thoughts. The NOTES can also be a Bookmark. Just SELECT, COPY, and PASTE into NOTES a short selection & jot down the Text Ch/Sec or Lesson of where you left off. BTW-Future updates will keep your place open when you close the APP. Until then, if you leave APP open, your place will stay ;-)

Sadly since the update the notifications aren't working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and checked my phone security settings. I would love this app even more if the editing function was improved in the notes section. Very difficult to scroll and edit text. I'd also love a bookmark function.

All is well again! Our Developers have fixed the issue with the Reminders. We are a Non-Profit Org and wish we had the funds for more bells and whistles but hopefully the way the APP is now will be of some service. ;-)
