in my experience it has basic truth in it but it is rather wordy, meaning it takes a million words to say what could be expressed in 100 words. People who latch onto it tend to be fanatic about it.
The woman who channeled the material, Helen Schucman had a habit of disparaging it throughout her life - her partner in the project Bill Thetford, used the material to transform every difficult relationship in his life, except for his relationship with Schucman. So in my opinion it has value but is awfully tiresome to wade through. -------------------------------------------- On Sat, 1/18/14, steve.sun...@yahoo.com <steve.sun...@yahoo.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Apostasy, is a terrible thing. To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, January 18, 2014, 1:35 AM I was talking to a friend of mine the other night. In the past he has recommended some interesting reading material. He was telling me how impressed he was with "The Course in Miracles". I know that material has been around for sometime. I was wondering what others might have thought of it, if they happened to take a run at it? FWIW, from what he told me, it had an interesting genesis, but other than that, again, from what he told me, it sounded like basic new age boiler plate. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote: yep, it can happen.
