A Course in Miracles became an instant spiritual phenomenon upon its 1976 publication, and has since served as a spiritual touchstone for millions around the world. Where did A Course in Miracles come from? What part does forgiveness play in the Course? How can non-Christians reconcile the Christian language in the Course? How does the Course's notion of Jesus differ from the traditional view of Jesus? Who is the Holy Spirit as represented by the Course, and how is this book a curriculum rather than a holy book? What does the Course have to say about ego? Miller explains that the Course is philosophically similar to both Buddhism and Vedanta. He goes on to explain, “There are many places where the Course says there are only two emotions to choose from, love or fear, and one of them is false. It also says there [are] only two voices to hear, the ego or the Holy Spirit, and one of them is not real.” (hosted by Michael Toms)
