The inspiration behind the words in ACIM provided great solace and clarity while I was undergoing a number of life transition events (the passing of several family members within a short period and divorce) during that time. It wasn’t until 1984 when I moved to Grass Valley, California, that I finally started reading ACIM in earnest – reading it, rather than reading about it. Later during that same era – on multiple occasions – Oprah Winfrey had Marianne on her popular TV show talking about her book “A Return To Love” so there were at least a couple of mass culture promptings for me to explore ACIM, not the least of which was the fact that my mother had a copy of the (then 3) volumes in her considerable metaphysical library, just waiting for me to open and read them. Jerry’s first book “Love is Letting go of Fear” and stories of his work with his Center for Attitudinal Healing propagated through the metaphysical study group (Creative Dynamics) that I was both attending and teaching through local adult schools in the northern California foothills.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, I first heard about “ A Course In Miracles” (ACIM) from two authors, Marianne Williamson, and Jerry Jampolsky.
