A Course in Miracles presents a comprehensive philosophy for understanding yourself, your world, and the beliefs and perceptions that shape your experience. Yet its often esoteric writing style can make its ideas difficult to understand and apply.

→ Clarifies the level of “reality” being discussed.
→ Explains unusual definitions and terminology.

Do you struggle to find joy, happiness, and inner peace in your everyday life? Do you seek answers to the “big questions” about existence, the meaning of life, who and what you are? Would you like a bigger-picture philosophy that empowers and liberates your authentic self?
Stop struggling and find it with Understanding A Course in Miracles Text, Volume II, Chapters 16–31.
A Course in Miracles (ACIM) presents a comprehensive philosophy that provides answers to these big-picture questions and much more. Yet understanding and applying its teachings can present two basic self-study challenges:
You must decipher ACIM’s often esoteric writing style.
You must learn to view your world from a different belief system without being imprisoned by your old beliefs.
Understanding A Course in Miracles Text was created to help overcome these challenges and uncover the deep yet practical answers found within the Course.
This enhanced edition:
• Replaces pronouns and unclear references with the actual terms being referenced.
• Provides detailed explanatory notes following the ACIM Text paragraphs.
• Clarifies the level of “reality” being discussed.
• Explains unusual definitions and terminology.
• Helps uncover the deeper meaning and practical application of the Course.
But understanding the words is only part of the challenge.
The detailed explanatory notes help you explore the deeper meaning and philosophy behind the Course while examining the fear-based beliefs and perceptions through which you may currently view yourself, your world, and God.
The goal is not simply to understand the theory intellectually. It is to use that understanding to help replace fear, blame, shame, and guilt with love, forgiveness, peace, and joy.
Understanding A Course in Miracles Text, Volume II covers Chapters 16–31, with detailed explanatory notes designed to make the Text clearer, more understandable, and more practical for everyday life.

My name is Burt Harding and I taught the Course in both Toronto and Vancouver to large classes. I discovered that many people found the Course hard to fully grasp. I am fully convinced that the Course was handed down by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Thomas Wakechid was guided to do a wonderful easy translation of the teaching and I like to recommend people buy these translations of the Course via For Dummies series. The impact, energy and feeling of the Course is preserved and it can be a great beginning for the novice.

“I have been studying The Course in Miracles for a number of years without much success in truly understanding what I was reading. Then I came across The Course in Miracles for Dummies and began to understand, with Mr. Wakechild's notes, the meaning behind the words.
It has helped me to accept myself and everyone I meet with love and respect and most importantly, I have learned to honor their journey. It has been a wonderful way to understand and interpret for myself the beautiful words of Jesus.”
