A Course in Miracles Urtext Manuscripts
Complete Seven Volume Combined Edition
|
| Compiled and annotated by Doug Thompson |
| A Course in Miracles Urtext Manuscripts represents the oldest available typed copy of the words dictated by a voice to Professor, research psychologist and Scribe Helen Schucman, Ph.D. between 1965 and 1978. The voice, claimed Schucman, was Jesus. This edition predates all others currently in print. It is available in two cover styles (please specify which below.)
There is a free companion website with concordances and source material libraries. An 4.2 Gb DVD-ROM containing an enhanced edition of the website, concordances, over 10,000 pages of source material, a synthesized audio reading of the 31 chapter text and several editions of the King James Bible is included in this edition. |
|
 |
| The Urtext Manuscripts include extensive discussions of the Bible, sex, possession, Freud and other topics which were edited out of other editions. There are over 2400 footnotes to references on variant ACIM readings and Bible verses. The book also includes extensive appendices with commentary on the versions and history of A Course in Miracles by the compiler of this remarkable edition, Doug Thompson. |
| The Urtext Manuscripts are ideal for ministers, students and teachers who wish to deepen their knowledge of A Course in Miracles and its unique approach to life and the teachings of the Bible. This edition seeks not to be the final rendition of A Course in Miracles, but rather one giant leap toward the greater goal of getting the words right. In that light, the reader may expect future editions to contain updates in textual scholarship, biblical references, appendices, added indexing, DVD-ROM contents and more. Excellent value. |
A Course In Miracles Urtext Manuscripts is available in two cover versions:
with the painting "The Resurrection" by Pieter Lastman, made available
by the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, CA, USA. (pictured),
or with a "simulated leather" cover. |

A Course in Miracles
The Hugh Lynn Cayce Manuscript
|
| Compiled and annotated by Doug Thompson |
| Around 1969, Drs. Schucman and Thetford provided one transcription of A Course in Miracles to Hugh Lynn Cayce, son of Edgar Cayce, an internationally known psychic healer. According to testimony at the copyright trial, this was to obtain Mr. Cayce's "opinion" of the material. |
| This version wasn't discovered until 1999 during the early stages of the copyright litigation and was produced without any of the other volumes attached. It is not known for certain if the volumes were lost, or just never provided. Also known as the "HLC" and "Jesus' Course in Miracles. The HLC is NOT a Urtext version.300 pgs perfect bound softcover 8.25 x 11." |

| Compiled by Miracles in Action Press |
 |
| If you were participating in A Course In Miracles study group in the late 1990's, perhaps you recall your teacher or facilitator stating during one not so warm and fuzzy meeting that the advertisements in the local paper would no longer indicate weekly study groups of "A Course In Miracles", but would instead indicate the meeting location and time for a "miracles study group". Such was the impact of the Foundation for Inner Peace in its attempt to administer control over its claimed ownership of the copyrights to A Course In Miracles. |
| "A Course in Miracles On Copyright Law" provides all the critical testimony of the 3-day copyright trial of May, 2003 that resulted in the cancellation of the copyrights to A Course In Miracles claimed by the Foundation for Inner Peace.... copyrights and trademarks that were being enforced even at the study group level! Some of the testimony will have you laughing and crying at the same time. 256 pgs., 8.5 x 11" comb bound. Includes CD with pre-trial deposition transcripts, audio recordings, and a few other interesting copyright litigation related files. |
Out of print, fewer than 100 copies remain,
while supplies last. |
