The Workbook For Students - Pocket Edition is one of three constituent parts of the great classic work A Course in Miracles and contains the complete and unabridged language of the Original Edition Workbook For Students. Besides necessary formatting for print publication, the only editing we have done has been to render capitalization and punctuation consistent and correct obvious typographic and spelling errors. In addition, we have added paragraph numbering for ease of navigation and referencing. Otherwise, nothing has been added to or subtracted from the original Workbook as given to the Scribes. We call it a "pocket edition" because it is designed to go anywhere with the student--it is only 8" x 4-3/4 " and a bit over 1/2" in thickness. The idea is to have a portable copy of the Lessons that you can toss into a backpack, briefcase or even a lady's purse, so you always have today's Lesson at hand. The book is designed for rough treatment--it is printed on a durable paper, nicely glued, and has a laminated cover that resists spots and staining.
☑ The first 10 lessons were amazing and have helped me with my social anxiety. ☑ I used to believe that the universe is not real when I was panentheist, it's easy to deny suffering when life is going easy. I am dualistic now and I find it hard to accept the metaphysics of ACIM, any spiritual teaching that denies the reality of the material world does not feel true spirituality to me, it is hard-core SPIRITUAL BYPASSING. ☑ ACIM is certainly not for everyone, I find balance and authenticity in duality, you do you ^^
ACIM is becoming my holy book of choice. For 2022, I did the Mornings with Marianne with Marianne Williamson, which I'm repeating in 2023. For the new year, I'm adding the Everyday Miracles ACIM program with Robert and Hollie Holden to the mix. I began my exposure to ACIM in 1984 and it's been an on-again, off-again love affair ever since. Now, at last, it feels as though I've stopped struggling and I'm giving myself over to this spiritual path without reservation.
This book helps me to focus on better things. It makes me happy. If my day is not going well, I can turn on the audiobook of this volume and my day is brightened; I don't even have to listen to it for more than ten minutes. Since I am dyslexic, it helps to have a book in print and in audio. Different size fonts can really make me exhausted so I can still listen when my eyes get tired. I got halfway through the book and then started it again on my vacation because it was so good I couldn't even wait to finish reading it to review it.
