The Pocket Edition of the Workbook and Manual contains the complete and unabridged language of the Original Edition of A Course in Miracles. Taken from the original manuscript for the Course, the only editing that has been been done to this great spiritual classic has been to correct occasional typographic and spelling errors and to render capitalization and punctuation consistent. We call it the pocket edition because it is designed to be easily portable. You can toss into a backpack, briefcase or even a lady's purse so you will always have today's Lesson at hand. The book is designed for rough treatment--It is printed on durable paper, nicely glued, and has a laminated cover that resists spots and staining.
Helen Schucman, Ph.D., was a clinical and research psychologist. A Course in Miracles was "scribed" by Dr. Schucman between 1965 and 1972 through a process of inner dictation. She experienced the process as one of a distinct and clear dictation from an inner voice, which earlier had identified itself to her as Jesus. William Thetford, Ph.D., was her trusted friend and colleague, and assisted and supported Dr. Schucman throughout the Course's scribing, including the events that led up to it. It was as if Helen had waited all her life for this particular moment, which triggered a series of internal experiences for her. These included heightened dream imagery, psychic episodes, visions, and an experience of an inner voice. This period of preparation culminated on the evening of October 21, 1965, when the now familiar voice of Jesus said to Helen: "This is a course in miracles, please take notes."
Psychotherapy is the only form of therapy there is. Since only the mind can be sick, only the mind can be healed. A short concise version of the path a patient must be helped to take to change his mind about the "reality" of illusions.
