A Primer of Psychology According to A Course in Miracles
A Course in Miracleshas elements in common with certain eastern spiritualities, representing a non-dualistic path whose metaphysics, theology and psychology are carefully integrated with its central, practical teaching of forgiveness.Although it is called a "Primer," this book is actually a thoroughgoing introduction to the psychology of forgiveness which is integral to the thought system and teachings ofA Course in Miracles. As such, it is also an introduction and overview for the Course itself. In addition, this book's extensive index renders it a helpful reference work for both students of the Course and those who are not familiar with it, but who have an interest in the relationship between psychological and spiritual thought.ACIM requires what Socrates referred to as the "examined life," as the key to finding a "better way" from the conflict and misery that has characterized the condition of humanity throughout its history. An earnest desire for a better way of living and relating led to the scribing ofA Course in Miracles, and it is forgiveness that represents that "better way," yet we find in the Course that forgiveness is not what we have thought it to be, nor are we whom we have thought ourselves to be.
