A Course in Miracles Clarified: Raymond Wells interview by Bruce Rawles

Saturday, 8 August 2020 by Bruce Rawles

In this video, Bruce Rawles interviews Raymond Wells, author of the insightful book A Course in Miracles Clarified: A Quick & Easy Guide about his journey with A Course In Miracles (ACIM.) This book may be particularly helpful for those who have studied the Course a while but need some clarification before resuming study to discover some of the ideas that might not have been evident after a first reading, or for those currently studying who might want to keep key ideas in mind.

Ray has studied ACIM since 1985 and been teaching the Course since 2014, including classes at the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center in Denver, Colorado.

The book provides a helpful condensed collection of key insights from the Course by exploring these topics, with a chapter devoted to each of these subjects (from the Table of Contents):

  1. The Course is Not Another Version of Christianity
  2. The Course is Not New Age
  3. Start Seeing the World As It Really Is
  4. How Science and the Course Agree on The Nature of Reality
  5. What is a Mind and How Does it Affect Your Body?
  6. You Are Dreaming All the Time
  7. What is a Miracle?
  8. God Does Not Interfere in this World
  9. Holy Spirit, Ego, and the Split Mind
  10. You Are Ultimately Alone in the Dream
  11. Forgiveness Will Solve All Your Problems
  12. Are You A Victim?
  13. How Different is the World from Heaven?
  14. God Does Not Want You to Suffer
  15. The Unholy Trinity of Sin, Guilt, and Fear
  16. Who is Jesus?
  17. Why Did the Son of God Think He Left God?
  18. A Quick Summary of the Course and Its Purpose
  19. Level I and Level II
  20. ACIM is Not About Making the World Better
  21. How to Wake Up from the Dream
  22. What Can I Gain from the Course?

In addition to many other Course topics, Ray answers these questions:

  • When and how did you first hear about A Course in Miracles?
  • How long have you been a student of the Course?
  • When and where did you first start teaching the Course?
  • What qualifies you to be a teacher of the Course?
  • If you were to sum up the Course in a couple of words; what would it be?
  • What possessed you to write a book about A Course In Miracles?
  • Your subtitle says that your book is “A Quick & Easy Guide.” Most Course students experience difficulty understanding the Course — How does your book make it quick and easy?
  • There are roughly a thousand books written about the Course — How is your book different?
  • There are several versions of the Course — Which one is your book based on, and why?
  • What can you tell potential readers of your book, that would make them want to read your book?
  • The Course says and your book says the Course is not a religion. How would you say the Course differs from the various religions?
  • The Course has very little to say about reincarnation, but your book mentions it several times. Why do you think that is important?
  • How has the Course helped you?
  • What makes the Course so attractive to you?
