If you are 'A Course in Miracles' student, you have probably been asked this question at a party or family gathering by someone with a quizzical or really skeptical squint on their face, "Just what is A Course in Miracles?"
After being asked this question you probably have stumbled through an awkward and insufficient answer that left your questioner with a smirk and a cynical, "Sure." Or maybe you were thrilled to be asked and lifted off into deep philosophical realms of eloquence that unfortunately left your questioner with glazed eyes and a sudden need to hurry off to take care of something 'important'.
Well, here is a quick answer of only ten words that can usually give just enough information to satisfy most and perhaps prick the interest of others. This quote is take from the 'Instant Curriculum' and its 'Nutshell Dictionary':
A Course in Miracles – quick definition in ten words. . .
A meditative discipline
releasing guilt, fear and anger
through
forgiveness.
This just might come in handy this holiday season, so give it a whirl and see what happens.
Note: The 'Instant Curriculum' is a great way to start the new year as a personal study program that can take you through the Course paragraph by paragraph using questions designed to open both your mind and this complex and confusing material. A wonderful new year's gift for yourself.
