This sounds like something I should definitely try reading.

Please don’t take this as proselytizing, because this is not a religion to join or a cult of some kind. But, if you want to understand ACIM, there is a free book that is for beginners that is well written by friends of mine who have been studying and teaching the Course for decades. https://circleofa.org/

Please don't worry about that Barry, I didn't take it as proselytizing at all. It's just that I was once so lost, with everything feeling incredibly dark due to a lack of spiritual connection. I feel that this could be a really good alternative for someone who feels like how I did. We all just want to find some peace, and if it's not readily available outside, then at least there's a chance for a bit of it inside.

Thank you for sharing the link. Will check it out.

Wishing you a great weekend.

I found the course very hard to understand at first. I put it on the shelf for a number of years. It uses Christian language like Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but not in traditional Christian meaning. It’s more of a non-dual approach which took me a long time to understand. If you do try reading it I’m sure you will have questions. It would be fun to have a dialogue about it. Feel free to stay in touch.

This is a free app. The cameos in the back give some interesting history. I would read the introduction in the front and the glossary of terms in the back.
