A Course in Miracles for the New Year!
o o o
This year, let A Course in Miracles help guide you to an experience of peace, joy, and "inner calm" unlike anything you may have experienced before!
o o o
With all the turmoil that appears to surround us in this increasingly crazy world, the thing that so many people are searching for is a thought system that can provide the sense of inner peace that we all long for, regardless of what seems to be happening in the world “outside”. The timeless spiritual classic known as A Course in Miracles can lead us to precisely that frame of mind, where we know that true peace comes from within us, where Spirit resides.
Make this the year you effectively incorporate the teachings of
A Course in Miracles
into your life!

The Course (also known as "ACIM") is comprised of three major elements: the Text, the Workbook for Students, and the Manual for Teachers. For many people, the Workbook often becomes a stumbling block. It is comprised of 365 Lessons, and is intended to be studied and practiced over the course of one year (although it is permissible to take a longer period of time, if one wishes to.) Each Lesson is designed to begin to train our minds into a different (and better!) way of thinking, where we choose to think with the Holy Spirit within us, rather than with the fear-based ego mind that has pretty much been in control of our thoughts up until now.
It is very common to find that a lot of people start doing the Workbook, but then find themselves drifting off and getting lost along the way, usually due to life's distractions, and sometimes because they feel that following through on the Workbook is simply too difficult or hard to stay focused on.

Here's the good news! Many folks have discovered that a truly effective way of working with (and really understanding) the Workbook of A Course in Miracles is by participating in the web-based study group, On Course with Gene Bogart!
Gene Bogart is a veteran TV announcer, producer, writer, musician, and radio personality, who for the last several years has gained even wider recognition for his work within the Course in Miracles community throughout the world, as ACIM study group facilitator and narrative "voice" of Course-related material. He is the producer and co-host of the highly successful Gary Renard Podcast series (Gary is the bestselling author of The Disappearance of the Universe - known as "DU" - and also Your Immortal Reality {both books published by Hay House} - with a third book due out soon.) Gene famously portrays the "Voice of Arten" in the Hay House audio-CD recordings of DU, and has received high praise for his narrations of recorded material from A Course in Miracles.
On Course with Gene Bogart presents Gene's professionally recorded audio of each day's ACIM Workbook Lessons to members of the group, along with a text copy of each day's Lesson as well. Reading the text of these Lessons, while simultaneously listening to these elegant word-for-word recordings, can prove to be a most effective means for not only understanding the material being presented, but also for incorporating this content into the actual experience of our daily lives.
Gary Renard has said: "If you've heard our podcasts, or the audio CD set of DU, you already know that Gene has a terrific voice. But in these recordings of the Workbook Lessons, Gene has a different sound than I've heard before. As he has told me and others, Gene truly felt the Holy Spirit was 'directing' him during the recordings of this Lesson material; these recordings have a remarkable depth of feeling and intensity, conveying the importance of this timeless material. And the phrasing and delivery impart a deep and accurate understanding of the content of the Lessons, aiding in any listener's ability to connect with the meaning of what it is they are studying."
Naturally, anyone can study the ACIM Workbook at any time they choose, regardless of the calendar date. But there is certainly an advantage in starting one's Lesson study on January 1st, particularly so one can "join" with a larger group of like-minded folks who are studying the Workbook at the same point within the illusion of time.

The On Course group presents each day's Lessons in both text form as well as the audio recordings, so you can read the daily Lessons as you simultaneously listen to Gene's recordings of them. Gary Renard says: "I think this form of study is one of the best and most effective ways of really understanding this important material. So I encourage you all to check out On Course with Gene Bogart!"
While the group gratefully accepts donations to make its activities possible, it follows the Course in Miracles principle that "no one should be turned away due to inability to pay", so folks are welcome to join whether they feel guided to contribute or not; it's all up to each individual's guidance from Spirit.
By the way, all of the Workbook Lesson presentations are archived at the group, so whatever lesson number you may be on, you can access any given lesson at any time.
This is a really valuable resource for every dedicated student of The Course, whether you are doing the Workbook for the first time, or are seeking an effective refresher for previously studied ACIM Lesson material.

Either way, we look forward to you connecting with us, and joining with us as we make this year the one in which we put aside the fear-based thoughts of the ego, and choose instead the pathway to Peace, Joy, and Love that the Holy Spirit provides, through the principles of the timeless teachings of A Course in Miracles. And remember what we always say at the On Course group:
This year, (and now, more than ever,)
...it's essential to remain "On Course!"
