Welcome to the transformative journey of "Awakening to Miracles," a comprehensive exploration of the profound spiritual teachings found in "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM). This book is a guide to understanding the core principles, practices, and insights that ACIM offers to seekers of inner peace, forgiveness, and spiritual awakening.

I first began to study ACIM when I heard that the course could save me a thousand years or more toward my goal of becoming enlightened. I realized that, despite decades of spiritual study and meditation practice, I still did not experience a really deep sense of inner peace. I needed to find it.

Now, after studying the course and practicing the teachings for many years, I have found my inner peace steadily deepening. It is obvious to others, because I do not become angry or irritated with people or stressful events. If I am tempted to negatively react, I quickly forgive and send love instead.

For me, it didn’t take long to be deeply moved. I was only on Workbook Lesson 5 when my long-held perceptions of the world came crashing down around me. I suddenly realized that there really was another way of looking at things.

This other way was quite different from the way I had been seeing all of my life. Lesson 5 teaches us that, “I am never upset for the reason I think.” I was angry with my husband and realized that it was not his behavior that was causing me to be upset, but my own reaction to his behavior. I began to experience another way of seeing. The course calls this the "Holy Instant."

Then, when I got to Lesson 34, it offered me the choice for happiness. Now, the revelation to myself when I became irritated became, “I could see peace instead of this."

I began to see another way of looking at things. I was free to see peace instead of that old way of seeing. I had removed the obstacles to the awareness of love’s presence.

I woke up to a miracle. And so can you.

This book will point you toward the way to finding inner peace.
