Embrace Your Inner Miracle Worker: My Journey with "A Course in Miracles"

Jody Agard • July 26, 2024

Today, I want to share something incredibly transformative that has revolutionized my life: "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM). Now, before we dive in, I want to address something upfront: despite what you might come across on the internet, ACIM is not a cult. I have been studying it for the last fifteen years, and it is the total opposite of a "cult". It's a spiritual framework that empowers you to connect with your true self and embrace a life of love and abundance.

Ok, moving on...

If you've been following me for a while, you know I'm all about aligning with our highest selves, manifesting our dreams, and living in abundance. ACIM is a powerful tool that can help us do just that.

Discovering "A Course in Miracles"

I stumbled upon ACIM at a point in my life when I was searching for deeper spiritual meaning and connection. This course isn't just a book; it's a spiritual journey that guides us to shift our perception from fear to love. It's about unlearning all the limiting beliefs that hold us back and remembering the truth of who we are: divine, powerful, and capable of creating miracles.

What is ACIM?

"A Course in Miracles" is divided into three parts: the Text, the Workbook for Students, and the Manual for Teachers.

The Text lays the foundation, providing the theoretical framework for the course. The Workbook offers 365 lessons, one for each day of the year, designed to train our minds to think with love rather than fear. The Manual for Teachers answers questions and clarifies terms, guiding us on how to teach and share these principles.

One of the most profound teachings of ACIM is the idea that the world outside of us is an illusion ( I know, right?!). Our perceptions are shaped by our thoughts and beliefs, and by changing these, we can transform our experience of the world. This concept can be incredibly liberating as it places the power of change within our own minds.

The Power of Mindset Shifts

One of the most profound lessons I've learned from ACIM is the power of mindset shifts. Our thoughts create our reality. When we choose to see through the lens of love instead of fear, we open ourselves up to infinite possibilities. ACIM teaches us to recognize and release the ego's grip and embrace our true nature.

For instance, one of my favorite lessons is Lesson 34: "I could see peace instead of this." It's a reminder that in any situation, we have the power to choose peace over conflict, love over fear. This simple shift in perception can change everything.

ACIM also teaches that forgiveness is not about pardoning others for their mistakes but about remembering the truth of who we are. It’s about letting go of the illusions and grievances that keep us trapped in a cycle of pain and instead, embracing the love and light that reside within us.

Practical Applications in Life

You might be wondering, "How does this apply to my everyday life or profession?" Let me tell you, it's everything.

When you approach your life from a place of love and abundance, rather than fear and scarcity, magic happens. You attract people who resonate with your energy, opportunities flow effortlessly, and you create a life that's not just successful, but soul-fulfilling.

For instance, when I was faced with a challenging situation with my work, I initially felt overwhelmed by the fear of failure. But by applying ACIM principles, I shifted my mindset to trust and abundance. I visualized the outcome I desired, filled with peace and success, and approached the situation with a calm, loving attitude. Guess what? It worked. The situation resolved better than I had imagined, and the positive feedback was beyond my wildest dreams.

In personal relationships, these principles are equally transformative. By choosing to see others through the lens of love and forgiveness, we can heal old wounds and build stronger, more loving connections. ACIM teaches that forgiveness is about letting go of illusions and grievances, allowing us to embrace the love and light within ourselves and others.

Whether you're navigating a career, nurturing relationships, or pursuing personal growth, ACIM's teachings can guide you to a more peaceful, abundant, and fulfilling life. By seeing through the illusion of the external world and remembering the truth of who we are, we unlock our potential to create miracles in every aspect of our lives.

Daily Practice and Commitment

Incorporating ACIM into your daily routine is key. I start my day with a lesson from the Workbook, followed by meditation. This practice grounds me and sets a positive tone for the day. It reminds me to approach everything – my business, relationships, and challenges – from a place of love.

Final Thoughts

"A Course in Miracles" is more than a spiritual guide; it's a way of life. It's about remembering our true essence and aligning with the divine power within us. By embracing these teachings, we can create a life filled with miracles.

I encourage you to explore ACIM and see how it resonates with you. Remember, you are a miracle worker, capable of manifesting your deepest desires and living a life of abundance and joy.

Sending you all the love and light,
