Reclaim your connection to Source.
Many of us have been abused, shamed, or misled by Christian institutions and doctrine — especially in ways that distorted our sense of worth, identity, and innate connection to Source. A Course in Miracles (ACIM) can be uniquely helpful to anyone turned off or turned away by institutional Christianity.
ACIM delivers its message using the language of traditional Christian doctrine, presenting a unique — and sometimes challenging — opportunity to reclaim the teachings of Jesus, an ascended master who embodied and expressed the Christ consciousness within us all.
Know the Source of Unconditional Love — Not Fear
Many wounded by institutional religion carry the shame of a punishing, withholding, or conditional patriarchal God. ACIM dismantles that image. It teaches that God/Source has never judged you, never condemned you, and only ever extends love. This is revolutionary for someone recovering from fear-based religion.
Heal Guilt and Self-Hatred
Religious indoctrination and abuse is all about reinforcing guilt, shame, and feelings of unworthiness. Rather than requiring us to earn forgiveness, we learn to accept our innate innocence.
Validate Your Inner Authority
Church may have taught that you need a priest, pastor, or institution to mediate your relationship with Source. ACIM teaches us to trust the inner voice, which is our Divine Wisdom. You learn how to access direct, internal guidance from within. You are reminded that your direct communion with God/Source is intact and waiting for you. It has never depended on human institutions or interventions.
Reframe the Past Without Bypassing It
ACIM does not ask us to assign blame for the pain of our past. Instead, it invites you to release the grip of fear, blame, and victimhood. You begin to see yourself not as a broken sinner, but as a Divine child of God/Source capable of miracles through the power of forgiveness — including self-forgiveness.
Claim Your True Identity as One with Christ Mind
If religion made you feel unworthy, sinful, or “less than,” ACIM offers a radical re-identification:
“I am the holy Child of God Itself.” (Workbook, Lesson 191, ACIM)
You are not your trauma, your church wounds, or the roles you were forced into. You are something far greater — and that truth can never be harmed.
Discover that Miracles are Natural
According to The Course, a miracle is not a supernatural event or divine intervention in the outer world — it is a shift in perception from fear to love. “Miracles are natural. When they do not occur, something has gone wrong.” (Text, Ch. 1, Sec. I.6)
