Walking the path of A Course in Miracles to end suffering and awaken one another to holiness, equality, and worth.

Welcome to the Center!

Something brought you here…

If you are new to the Course, or to spirituality in general, there could be any number of reasons you decided to visit, including: a search for answers to such questions as, “Why is there so much suffering? Is there a greater purpose for my life? How can I decrease suffering–my own and others? What brings true happiness?”; dissatisfaction with the answers and solutions provided by consumerism, popular culture, politics, and religion; a search for deeper meaning; and , confronting the inevitability of death.

You might be a long-time student of A Course in Miracles coming here out of a desire to more consistently follow its path, to join with others who are walking the same path as you, or to find clarity when it comes to some of the core teachings of the Course. It’s likely that underneath any reason you have for being here is a longing for what is most true, fundamental, fulfilling, meaningful–a longing for what some might call God, enlightenment, liberation, abiding peace, or awakening.

The Path We Walk Together

A Course in Miracles provides an understanding of the cause of suffering (its view of “the problem“) that differs greatly from our normal understanding. It then offers a practical and effective way to end suffering (its “solution” or “answer“)—not by changing things in the world, but through a change in our way of seeing. The central means the Course gives to facilitate this change is a practice of other-focused forgiveness unlike any found in traditional religion or psychology. We call it miraculous forgiveness.

Miraculous forgiveness is not about accepting what the other person did or pretending it didn’t matter. It goes much deeper—healing our minds in such a way that we see beyond our false and mistaken perception of the other person, so we can perceive them as they truly are. We then extend this healing to them through an expression of love, thus healing their mind/perception. Through the principle of “giving is receiving,” we start to notice how our perception of ourselves begins to change. As we perceive the truth in them, we perceive that same truth in ourselves.

“Everyone you see in light brings your light closer to your own awareness.” (CE T-13.VI.10:3)

Perhaps you can see how this is not a solitary path. We are not instructed to withdraw from others and the world in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. The Course is clear that we need one another—”mighty companions” [CE M-4.I.6:11]—to walk the path with us. Through individual sessions, Course study groups, workshops, and teachings rooted in the ideas and practices of the Course, the Center for Miraculous Living exists to be part of that companionship for you.
