The files contained on this website are the most
accurate and complete copies of A Course
in Miracles historical scribal versions available to the public anywhere
as
far as we know.
If
you know of any source for copies which are in any way better, more complete or
more accurate please let me know! If you
discover any errors we’ve missed, please let me know.
These are substantially cross-referenced and
accompanied by
Concordances. While many other websites claim to offer “ACIM” or even “Free
ACIM” we have found with all we’ve checked that ALL ON-LINE editions are
grossly inaccurate copies without any usable referencing or more that
rudimentary search capabilities.
Because Course students need accurate, accessible, searchable,
cross-referenced copies, this website is here.
Love offerings from many people keep this work going and make
this website possible.
If you feel this work is of value and wish to see it continue
and expand, please consider donating generously.
This project to date has been entirely supported by volunteer
contributions of labour and funds. While
we do sell books, to date far more has been spent making that possible than has
been earned from book sales. Far from being
a “profitable business,” so far it has been a major financial burden.
The volume files for the Foundation for
Inner Peace Abridgement were supplied by Ryan Rothgeb
in 2003. All I did was format them and hotlink chapter and section headings.
The HLC
text file originated with Endeavor in 1999. That file was proofread to correct copying mistakes
and where apparently inadvertent copying mistakes from the earlier Urtext were found, those were
corrected. Any changes from the actual HLC manuscript are underlined and/or
footnoted.
The Urtext
Manuscripts began with the anonymously published “Illuminati
Edition” which appeared in 2000. Years
of proofreading that document against the manuscripts removed some four
thousand deviations. Ambiguities,
anomalies and probable errors in the manuscripts themselves are footnoted. This is the same text as in the printed book
for sale here: http://www.miraclesinactionpress.com
The Psychotherapy,
Song of Prayer and Gifts of God
files here were all transcribed from the Urtext
manuscripts myself.
The Shorthand
Notes derive from a transcript produced by myself between 2007 and
2009. This is a “first draft” which has
not been fully proofed.
Facsimile (image file) copies of all
the manuscripts in PDF format are available from the Primary Source Menu.
Click on any entry in the Table of
Contents sidebar to scroll instantly to that point in the file.
Return To Menu
radio button returns you to the menu from which you can select any volume of
any version which is available.
SEARCH for words or any character
string by pressing CTRL+F and then typing the characters you wish to search
for.
FOOTNOTES, when clicked, allow you to
read the footnote. Click on the footnote
again to return to that point in the text.
GOTO any
Reference: After
typing CTRL+F you can of course enter any reference code such as “T-2.VIII.5”
in the FIP Text which will take you
to chapter 2, section 8, paragraph 5 or “T 2 H 5” to take you to the same
paragraph in the HLC or Urtext.
You can send a link to any point in the
file which is listed in the Table of Contents in the left hand sidebar. Right click any link and then select “Copy
Link Location.” The result, if you paste
it, looks something like this:
The first part is simply the URL for
the HTML file, the last part starting with “Toc” indicates the point in the
file to which the pointer points.
When clicked it will open the file
without the top and side navigation frames and a moment later it will scroll to
the point indicated by the Table of Contents link.
Go ahead and try the link above, it
will open the Workbook to the section
“What is the Last Judgment.” It can take a few seconds to load, depending
on the speed of your network link but once loaded, you
can “search” the entire volume, or save the entire volume as an html file on
your own disk. Ok, with Internet
Explorer it can take over a minute to load.
With Firefox it takes a few seconds to load.
