Classes on the Text of "A Course in Miracles" [CD]

This series consists of 32 two-hour classes conducted by Kenneth Wapnick on the chapters in the text. The series begins with a general introduction to the series and to the text itself—its form (the way it is written) and its content (what it says). This introductory class shows how A Course in Miracles, unlike most linearly structured texts, is symphonically presented, with its themes and principles woven into the teachings throughout, much the same as leitmotivs are woven into the fabric of a musical composition. The Course is thus seen as the perfect integration of form and content, a framework within which the prominent principles and themes in each chapter are presented in succeeding classes.

The overall purpose of these classes is to enhance students' understanding and appreciation of A Course in Miracles, in terms of its magnitude both as a thought system and as a work of art. Such appreciation, it is hoped, will facilitate students' study of the Course, enabling them to learn and practice its teachings in a gently consistent manner as they strive to integrate them into their daily lives.
