The urtext is an early draft of the Course, ucdm dictated by Jesus and scribed by Helen. It was later typed several times, with some editing, to become the official edition published by the Foundation for Inner Peace.

A lot of personal and professional material was removed from the urtext, and this is especially true of the first four to nine chapters of the Text. It is also more compressed, with the same ideas being squeezed into fewer words.
It is a required course

A Course in Miracles is a unique spiritual path that has no equivalent. It is not only an intellectual exercise, but a practical path to Self-realization through forgiveness. It also teaches how to heal the unconscious mind, which is the root of all suffering. It also teaches us that we are all one. This non-dualistic thought system is revolutionary in its approach to forgiveness and the world. While it is not for everyone, anyone who wants to understand the universe and themselves can benefit from it.

Unlike the standard edition published by the Foundation for Inner Peace, this website’s version of the Course is an un-edited Urtext (meaning original text). It contains all three books plus the Clarification of Terms. It is the oldest available typed copy of the words dictated by a voice to Helen Schucman, Ph.D. between 1965 and 1978. This manuscript contains more personal and professional material than the standard Course, including about 60 pages of messages that were meant (apparently?) just for Helen and Bill. However, they were so powerful that some ended up in the published Course.

Some of the personal and professional material is more concrete than the standard Course. It includes messages about Helen and Bill’s relationships, interactions, developmental issues, and their personal and professional backgrounds. It also reflects Jesus’s understanding of the work of psychologists such as Freud, Jung, and Rank. This material has been removed from the standard Course, but it is included in this online version because it relates strongly to the training of Teachers and Ministerial Counsellors.

Another major difference is that the urtext version has more passages in which the Course talks about the world in a different sense than the published Course. For example, the urtext version has five passages in which the Course explains that the world was created by God. The standard Course has edited these passages to be more in line with later teaching that the world was not created by God.
It is a spiritual path

There are many spiritual paths to follow, and A Course in Miracles is not meant to be the only one. However, it is a helpful path for those who want to become more loving and reaffirm God’s love. The course offers a new way of looking at life and relating to others, which can help us avoid harmful behaviors. It also helps us become aware of our own impulses, desires, feelings, thoughts, words, and deeds, as well as their consequences.

The a course in miracles urtext is an online edition of the original manuscript for A Course in Miracles, which was dictated by Jesus and scribed by Helen Schucman. It was transcribed to digital text and reedited several times over the years. This version of the book has over 60,000 more words than the official edition, and contains many errors that were not corrected in later editions.

During the long process of editing A Course in Miracles, it became obvious that a large amount of material was being deleted. This material was inadvertently omitted or overlooked because of the number of different retypings and revisions that took place. It is therefore important to use the urtext when studying the Course, rather than the edited version published by the Foundation for Inner Peace.

This urtext contains all three books of the Course, including the manual for the practice of forgiveness. It is much earlier than JCIM (the HLC, Hugh Lynn Cayce version, or the Original Edition) and has some of the more personal messages that never made it into the official edition. It also has all of the original handwritten editing notes in the margins.

The urtext contains some of the most interesting parts of the Course, and is the best version available for studying it. The earliest sections of the book have much more dialogue between Helen and Jesus than the monologues in the standard edition. The dialogue has a choppy flow, and the capitalization and punctuation are sometimes inconsistent.

During the early phases of the Course, Jesus told Helen that she was taking too many personal notes, and that her writing did not have “the more generalizable quality which this course is aimed at.” He said that if anything in her notes was not useful to other miracle workers, she should take it out.
It is a communication with God

A Course in Miracles is a unique and non-dualistic thought system that helps us to forgive our egos. It is written on a high intellectual level with sophisticated metaphysical, theological, and psychological concepts integrated throughout the three books of A Course in Miracles. It is not for everyone, however, and people with no intellectual background may find much of the material difficult to understand.

This edition of A Course in Miracles is a major improvement over the previous one. It includes all of the original manuscripts that Bill Thetford originally typed and Helen Schucman’s original shorthand notes. It also contains all of the omissions and errors that went unnoticed in earlier versions. Additionally, more material was inserted into the text, and there is more extensive editing of the existing material.

In order to make this version more accurate, it was proofread against a copy of the first edition that had been disseminated in January of 2000 and an even earlier edition of A Course in Miracles called the Urtext. It was found that the original manuscripts were very different from the final product, but that they contained important information about how the final product was produced.

The new edition of A Course in Miracles is also more consistent with the content and format of other editions of the text. For example, the chapter titles in the Text have been inserted in this version, and the contents of the Workbook have been rearranged. Moreover, more line-by-line editing has been done. This version also has added explanatory footnotes and an enhanced DVD with a synthesized reading of the 31 chapter Text and several editions of the King James Bible.

A Course in Miracles is not for everyone, but anyone can benefit from its message. It is a non-dualistic spiritual path that provides a means for transforming our thoughts and releasing our blocks to love’s presence, which is our natural inheritance. It is not a religion, but it does help to heal the illusion of separation that all humans experience. The goal of the Course is not to teach us about love, but to remove our blocks to it.
It is a non-dualistic thought system

A Course in Miracles is non-dualistic, but it does not promote itself as the only way to God. The Course states that there are many paths to Him, and it encourages the search for them. It also states that it is a transitional thought system, not the ultimate truth. The Course’s teaching is that the world of time and space is an illusion, and it teaches you to let go of your attachment to it. It offers a progressive path of mind training to help you move from the thought system of fear, time and space and duality to the thought system of love and inner peace.

The early portions of the Course are more concrete and down to earth than the later portions. This is mostly due to the personal and professional material that Jesus speaks of. He often refers to Helen and Bill’s relationships, interactions and developmental issues, as well as their backgrounds in psychology, explaining how the Course relates to Freud, Jung and Rank. While most of this material was removed in the standard Course, it has been left on this website because it relates strongly to the training of Teachers and Ministerial Counsellors.

One example is when Jesus tells Helen that sexual impulses are distorted miracle impulses. This is a clear statement of the fact that they are based on the ego, which is lack. In addition, the early portion of the Course is more of a dialogue between Jesus and Helen, with each interjecting and answering each other. It is quite different from the monologue of the later portions of the Course, where Jesus primarily speaks to the whole group and rarely interacts with individual members.

The main reason that some people find A Course in Miracles difficult to understand is that it is written on a very high intellectual level with sophisticated metaphysical, theological and psychological concepts integrated throughout its three books. It is a very comprehensive course and requires a lot of reading, thinking and doing. It is important to note that this does not mean that it is only for the intellectually inclined; anyone can benefit from it, no matter what their background or educational level may be.
