Hi Bob, my name is Luke and I've been reading A Course in Miracles for a few years. For me it is teaching the thoughtsystem of forgiveness - and it gives an rational explanation/update to Christian teaching. It tells us that our true Identity comes from God and is Spirit which we all share and reality comes from God. The world is an illusion of reality which is projected from our minds ie. it is a dream of separation - which we must choose to overlook in order for the Holy Spirit to give us His dream of awakening. It is a very powerfully written book which keeps me enthralled after years of study.

Here is a list of my favourite links.

Well, I think if we first accept the kingdom of god is within us as Yeshua said, then we are simply god having a human experience.

Then, for what purpose?
