The Text is the foundation of A Course in Miracles. Doing the Course is simply a process of learning and internalizing its thought system, and the Text is where that thought system is laid out. It is an unparalleled spiritual tour de force. Careful study of it will change your outlook in ways that perhaps nothing else can. Many students, however, find the Text to be very hard going. They do not finish it, and even those who make it through, perhaps repeatedly, wish they had a deeper grasp of what they were reading. The Illuminated Text is designed to guide you, in detail, through the Text of A Course in Miracles so that you can finally get a deep understanding of this spiritual masterpiece.
