Synopsis

"Notes on the Text of A Course in Miracles – Condensed Version" is the compilation of my notes on a series of lectures given by Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D. entitled "Classes on the Text of A Course in Miracles." Wapnick's lectures were given on each chapter of the Text and highlight the key themes of each chapter within the context of the Course's general teaching and purpose. In this Condensed Version I have removed the quotes from the Text that Wapnick used in his classes and provided only my notes based on Wapnick's brilliant commentaries in his lectures. You will find this Condensed Version addresses the key themes of each chapter of the Text as the full version does, but is shorter in length and easier to read. Here is a compilation of excerpts from the text of A Course in Miracles showing how the Course describes its purpose: "The goal of the curriculum, regardless of the teacher you choose, is 'know thyself.' There is nothing else to seek. The journey to God is merely the reawakening of the knowledge of where you are always, and what you are forever. It is a journey without distance to a goal that has never changed. Yet the reason for the course is that you do not know what you are. What could God give but knowledge of Himself? What else is there to give? The belief that you could give and get something else, something outside yourself, has cost you the awareness of Heaven and of your Identity. This is not a course in the play of ideas, but in their practical application. This is a course in how to know yourself." - A Course in Miracles As you will realize, A Course in Miracles could easily be titled "A Course in Self Knowledge," as ultimately the miracle is a radical shift in Identity. My "Notes on the Text of A Course in Miracles – Condensed Version" follows the structure of Wapnick's lecture series and is based on the key themes of each chapter within the context of the Course's general teaching and purpose. "Notes on the Text of A Course in Miracles – Condensed Version" is meant to facilitate and deepen your understanding of the spiritual masterpiece that is A Course in Miracles, and supplement your self-study of the Course.
