The book loops in spirals. I love that because that is a law of living. But some ideas are very hard to fathom. Am I the only one?

Patricia Sokolowski I am part of a study group that meets, reads and discusses. It helps to have feedback from others.

I still don't understand why Jesus is called "J"? I know that his real name wasnt Jesus but I am pretty sure that there was another, probably several, reasons why he is called J. Thanks.

Rosie Warburton The Course never refers to him as J. I believe Gary Renard might have in Disappearance of the Universe.

Does anyone else find the channeling in this book a bit warped? Channeling any "being/s of the Light" is crystal clear and easy to understand, not spoken in riddles. Jesus spoke in parables, or metaphors, if you will. He didn't speak in circles either, which I find often in this book. Many 'entities' may claim to be something that they are not if one does not have the wisdom to discern who they are channeling.

Is it zen-like?

Wikipedia says that "Schucman claimed that the book had been dictated to her, word for word, via "inner dictation" from Jesus." It also says that the book was edited by Helen Schucman, Bill Thetford, and Kenneth Wapnick. Don't you think that unholy trinity was arrogant and misguided to revise the words of Jesus?

Does anyone else have trouble reading this book?

I studied A Course in Miracles for three years but was guided back to the Bible by my wife (and the Lord). The Course has many insights that can motivate a student to follow the Lord's teachings more deeply but it does not acknowledge the necessary sacrifice of Jesus for our sins. Hence, I wrote a Christian book entitled, "A Course in Christianity" that is available now. May I have your opinions and reviews?
