A daily practice
A Course in Miracles
Workbook Companion
365 daily lessons. The canonical text from the Foundation for Inner Peace, a video companion for every lesson, and practical guidance from my 25 years of practice. Read it as a year, or come back for the lesson you need today.
Today's Lesson
Lesson 1: Nothing I see means anything.
How to work the Workbook
The Course itself gives the instructions in its opening pages. Here is the spirit of them, the way I share with my students.
i.
One lesson per day. Do not attempt more than one lesson in a single day. This is not about pace. It is about depth.
ii.
Belief follows practice. You do not have to believe the ideas. Do the exercises as instructed. Belief comes later, on its own timing.
iii.
If you skip a day, do not restart. Pick up where you left off. Consistency matters more than perfection.
iv.
Two parts. Part I (Lessons 1 to 220) introduces and develops the core teachings. Part II (Lessons 221 to 365) is contemplative, grouped into fourteen thematic sections.
