About this listen
First and foremost, A Course in Miracles is a course, an educational program. It is designed to take its students through a process of internalizing its thought system. In this process, we learn to accept into our minds and extend to others what the course calls miracles, which heal the perception of the one receiving them. Each of the course’s three volumes signifies a different phase in this overall process.
(The volumes need not be done in order, but they are arranged in a logical sequence that reflects the overall progression the course seems to expect students to pass through). Volume I: Text is the first, longest, and most important volume. It provides the “theoretical foundation” of the course.
Volume I: Text is a masterpiece of spiritual thought. As it guides us through hundreds of topics, the meanings we have assigned the world begin to fall away, revealing a new meaning in everything. This happens even on the level of language. The course uses familiar terms, but fills them with new meaning, making each term a microcosm of its thought system. As a result, this is not easy to listen to. To reap its rewards, we have to truly engage with it. The course asks us to listen to its words carefully, thinking about what they mean. It asks us to take them personally and treat them as practical, as more than an intellectual game. If we will do this, we will experience our old worldview being slowly dismantled, and a new worldview arising in its place.
Volume I: Text is the first phase of the course’s program. It is here that the course’s thought system initially enters our minds. This is only the beginning of the process, yet it is the foundation for all that follows.

Story
The second volume, the workbook, contains 365 lessons, one for each day of the year. In each lesson (with the exception of review lessons), we take a single course idea and practice it in specified ways throughout the day. As we apply it to ourselves, to others, and to our daily situations and events, our perception shifts and we see with new eyes. We feel peace where before we felt anxiety and agitation. We ultimately learn to enfold each day in peace so that we begin the day in a state of peace.

Story
A Course in Miracles (ACIM) - the self-study spiritual-thought system that teaches the way to love and forgiveness - has captivated the minds and captured the hearts of millions of people. Delivering inner peace where fear and pain once prevailed, its universal message is unsurpassed in its power to heal. Yet many students report that they have difficulty grasping the principles or keeping up with the lessons. So even while they yearn for the spiritual freedom the course offers, they put the book aside, hoping to get to it one day.

Your mind is equipped with the natural ability to attract as much money as you want and need - at anytime, anyplace, in any financial climate, without struggle.

Story
What would you do if you were sitting quietly in your living room when a mysterious couple appeared from out of nowhere-and then told you they were “ascended masters” who had come to reveal some shocking secrets of existence and teach you the miraculous powers of advanced forgiveness? When two such teachers appeared before Gary Renard in 1992, he chose to listen to them (and ask a lot of impertinent questions). The result is this startling book: an extraordinary record of 17 mind-bending conversations that took place over nearly a decade, reorienting the author’s life.

On July 1-3, 2011, Marianne Williamson taught a workshop on A Course in Miracles in Los Angeles, California. The topic of the weekend was how miracles - shifts in thinking from fear to love - make all the difference in how we live and how we feel. Learning to think differently - to stand psychologically and emotionally on a different ground of being - is the spiritual journey from anxiety to inner peace.

I had bought a previous version with a narrator that sounded robotic , to me at least . I tried and tried to keep coming back and listening and getting past the voice of the narrator . But, ultimately I was not hearing the meaning of the words and the story because I was just irritated at the voice . I am grateful to Audible that they. refunded me my credit back .
i sampled a version with music which distracted me as well from the words . I came across this version and I could not be more pleased with the voice of the narrator ! Just a "regular" voice . I am now hearing the
words and story instead of being distracted by a narrators voice that does not work for me .
I am excited to make my way through this book that is so meaningful and will be life-changing for me .
Love It

Robert Perry, a long-time student and teacher of "The Course" has gathered all the "missing" or deleted pieces of the original manuscript, organized and restored them, complete with needed references and footnotes, and endowed us with this edition.
As the narrator, his thorough familiarity with the material, and deep experience of the teaching, shine through. He is not just delivering a piece of text, he is, quite literally, a conduit for the most intimate instruction and personal guidance.
This work is a must for anyone who is serious about "attaining" Divine Consciousness.
A Masterful performance by Robert Perry!
