All suffering in the world arises out of wanting happiness for self. All happiness in the world arises out of wanting happiness for others.2
Someone who does not run toward the
allure of love walks a road where nothing lives1

A Course In Miracles is a unique practice of extraordinary power - on a par with the world’s most profound, millennia-old spiritual traditions. This site was created to a) examine A Course In Miracles in light of the world’s great wisdom traditions and (b) explore all facets of the Course from the dogma-free perspective outlined here. To learn more about our site, feel free to read our mission statement. If you’re new to the Course, you may want to read up on The Basics, check out Our Point of View or familiarize yourself with any number of Fundamental Themes. Otherwise, head straight to our Writings section where you can pick and choose from a variety of cutting edge articles. In our “Course & Other Traditions” section, for example, you’ll find Dr. Roger Walsh’s assessment of the Course in light of the world’s central spiritual practices, his discussion of the Perennial Wisdom of A Course In Miracles and his fascinating piece, Beware The Dual Nondual, Also coming soon: an informative exploration of the relationship between the Course and Buddhist practice. If you’ve ever been intrigued by the Course’s radical stance on physical illness, click on “The Course & Physical Illness” where you’ll find a stunning single case study/self-report, examining the impact of A Course In Miracles on a long term case of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (D. Patrick Miller). Miller’s article is arguably the most credible account ever published of the Course’s potential to help cure a physical illness. Or check out our Cool Stuff section where you can read What Is The Course, a courageous, true-to-life account of how the Course is actually practiced (Hugh Prather). Prather’s article is near-shocking in its honesty; and ultimately, it addresses an extraordinary question: what does it mean to be an authentic, spiritual human being. Also in Cool Stuff: Dr. Walsh’s brilliant piece on multiple interpretations of the Course. We Course students tend to believe our own interpretation to be the “right” interpretation; needless to say, such beliefs reflect the insidious ego. Walsh’s article is the perfect antidote. In our Practice section, you’ll find my own article, Be A Light Unto Yourself (Peter Solon, Ph.D). You might be surprised to learn––when it comes to methods of practice––Course students have far more freedom and many more options than they typically realize. We’ll also be expanding our Unexplored Terrain section. Here, we intend to examine a vital but completely neglected area: entheogens and the Course; as well as self psychology and the Course, creativity and the Course and more. Stay tuned. Ah yes: if you’re interested in learning about a unique, user-friendly Electronic Version of A Course In Miracles, based upon the well established second edition, click here. One last item. Our website is still young. In the coming year, we plan to expand in several directions, adding articles to each of the above sections. Do come back soon. Or better yet: come visit our center in Dharamsala, India where you can meet other Course students, participate in one of our many programs and enjoy a delicious cup of chai.
