Aba Gayle's Story

A Course In Miracles is not a religion and not a church. There is no dogma, just simple lessons. The Course teaches that we are all children of a loving God. We are all one. I learned a simple act of kindness toward another human being benefits all mankind. Any act of violence or cruelty harms all mankind. We all carry the Christ consciousness within us. The Course teaches us to make decisions by asking ourselves, "Am I doing this from fear or love"? We are not here to be in judgement of others.

Ask not to be forgiven, for this has already been You who want peace can find it only by complete forgiveness

"Whenever I see someone else as guilty, I am reinforcing my own sense of guilt and unworthiness. I cannot forgive myself unless I am willing to forgive others. It does not matter what I think anyone has done to me in the past or what I think I may have done. Only through forgiveness can my release from hate and fear be complete"—A Course in Miracles The following are web sites that are devoted to teaching A Course in Miracles.
